Dental bridges and crowns are restorative dental solutions used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, improving function and appearance.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.

When is a Crown Needed?

✔ To restore a broken, cracked, or decayed tooth.
✔ After a root canal treatment to protect the tooth.
✔ To cover a misshapen or discolored tooth.
✔ To strengthen a weak tooth and prevent further damage.

Types of Dental Crowns:

✅ Porcelain Crowns – Natural-looking and ideal for front teeth.
✅ Metal Crowns (Gold/Silver) – Extremely durable, best for molars.
✅ Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) – Combines strength with aesthetics.
✅ Zirconia Crowns – Strong, long-lasting, and highly aesthetic.

Benefits of Dental Crowns:

✔ Protects and strengthens the tooth.
✔ Restores natural appearance and function.
✔ Long-lasting with proper care.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or implants.

Types of Dental Bridges:

✅ Traditional Bridge – Supported by crowns on adjacent teeth.
✅ Cantilever Bridge – Anchored to only one neighboring tooth.
✅ Maryland Bridge – Uses metal or porcelain wings bonded to adjacent teeth.
✅ Implant-Supported Bridge – Fixed to dental implants for added stability.

Benefits of Dental Bridges:

✔ Restores missing teeth for better chewing and speaking.
✔ Prevents neighboring teeth from shifting.
✔ Improves appearance and facial structure.

Both crowns and bridges help maintain dental health while restoring a confident smile!
