Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and Bridges:

Crowns

A crown, also known as a cap, is a tooth-shaped restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. Crowns are used to:

  • Strengthen a weak or damaged tooth
  • Protect a tooth that has had a root canal
  • Cover a tooth that is misshapen or discolored
  • Support a dental bridge

Crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all-porcelain. The type of material that is best for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Bridges

A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is made up of two or more crowns that are cemented to the teeth on either side of the gap. A false tooth, called a pontic, is attached to the crowns to replace the missing tooth or teeth.

Bridges can be made from the same materials as crowns. They are a good option for people who are missing teeth but have healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

Benefits of crowns and bridges

Crowns and bridges offer a number of benefits, including:

  • Improved function: Crowns and bridges can restore the function of teeth that are damaged or missing. This can make it easier to chew, speak, and smile.
  • Improved appearance: Crowns and bridges can improve the appearance of teeth that are misshapen, discolored, or chipped.
  • Protection: Crowns and bridges can protect teeth from further damage.

Care and maintenance

Crowns and bridges are durable restorations, but they still require regular care and maintenance. To keep your crowns and bridges looking and functioning their best, be sure to:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day.
  • Visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
  • Avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice and candy.
