Dental Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth. A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants.

Crowns are made from various materials including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination. They're used for teeth weakened by decay, after root canal treatment, to cover dental implants, or to improve appearance. Bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth.

Both crowns and bridges are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. They restore functionality for eating and speaking, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and enhance your smile's aesthetics. Our skilled dentists use high-quality materials and precise techniques for lasting results. Book a consultation to explore your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

A crown is a cap placed over a single damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. While a crown restores an existing tooth, a bridge fills gaps where teeth are missing.

With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years, while bridges can last 10-20 years or longer. Their longevity depends on materials used, oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and habits like teeth grinding or clenching.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during tooth preparation or placement. Some patients experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, which typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Care for crowns and bridges like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss daily (using floss threaders for bridges), and visit your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing hard foods or ice on crowned teeth. With bridges, special attention to cleaning underneath the pontic (artificial tooth) is essential to prevent gum disease.
