WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?

Dental crowns are caps that fit over the entire visible surface of the tooth. Dental crowns are most commonly used to restore a tooth that has been damaged or has severe decay. Dental crowns restore functionality, size, shape, and appearance of the tooth so that the patient can bite, chew, speak, and smile without difficulty or embarrassment. Dental crowns can also be used as a cosmetic enhancement for a tooth that has a large filling or other issue. Crowns can be made of a range of materials. The location of the crown often determines the material used. Crowns in the back of the mouth are often made of gold or ceramic fused to metal, while crowns used in the front of the mouth tend to be all-ceramic due to its natural appearance.
 

WHAT ARE DENTAL BRIDGES?

Dental bridges are a type of restoration used for a missing tooth or several missing teeth in a row. This fixed restoration requires a dental crown to be placed on each side of the gap in the smile. In the middle are artificial teeth that literally fill in the gap. By restoring aesthetics and function to the mouth, dental bridges allow you to perform all the functions that you could with natural teeth.
