Crown is typically used to cover teeth that have undergone root canal treatment or have significant tooth structure loss. In simple terms, dental crown restoration involves placing a crown on your tooth’s surface that matches the color of your tooth completely. It’s like giving a beautiful coat to a troubled tooth. The crown serves a protective function and doesn’t interfere with your daily life and work
Bridge is used when there’s a missing tooth or gap in your dental arch. It utilizes the adjacent teeth as support, creating a bridge that anchors artificial teeth, allowing them to stay in place without removal. Dental bridges provide excellent chewing function and do not need to be removed. Dental bridges are crowns with consecutive false teeth attached, cemented with adhesive to the nearby teeth in the gap where teeth are missing. They can stay in the mouth for an extended period, offering stability and better biting force than removable dentures.
