What is a dental crown?
Looking for a way to protect a damaged or weak tooth from further complications? Then dental crowns could be the answer. These dental restorations are shaped just like teeth and are placed over the entire tooth to become the tooth’s newer, stronger outer surface.
Dental crowns are also cemented into place so they last several years before needing to be replaced. Dental crowns can be made from a variety of different materials including porcelain, ceramic, silver and gold.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is another restorative treatment that is designed to fill gaps in your smile caused by tooth loss. A dental bridge contains two dental crowns on either side and a false tooth (or pontic) in the middle. The two dental crowns are cemented to the teeth on either side of the gap to anchor the new tooth into place.
