Dental Bridge and Crown
Dental bridges and crowns are effective restorative solutions for various dental problems, and the choice between them depends on factors such as the location and extent of tooth loss or damage, patient preference, and the recommendation of the dentist. It’s essential to consult with a dental professional to determine the most suitable treatment option for individual needs.
1. Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by dental crowns or wings attached to the natural teeth or implants adjacent to the gap
2. Dental Crown
A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a tooth-shaped prosthetic device that covers and encases a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, function, and appearance.
Crowns are often recommended for teeth with extensive decay, large fillings, cracks, fractures, or after root canal treatment.
