Dental Crown

A dental crown is a type of restoration that fully covers or caps a damaged tooth. It is used to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance after it has been compromised by decay, cracks, or other forms of damage. Crowns are also placed on teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, providing additional support and protection. Typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these, crowns are custom-designed to match the natural color of your teeth, making them aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

A dental bridge is another type of restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These adjacent teeth, called abutments, are typically covered with crowns to support the bridge. Like crowns, bridges are made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are designed to blend in seamlessly with the natural teeth.

Crowns and bridges are durable, long-lasting solutions for restoring damaged or missing teeth, helping to preserve the structure of the mouth and maintain a healthy bite. With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, they can last many years, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
