Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used after root canals, on cracked teeth, or to top dental implants.
Bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth (or teeth) to crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants — restoring your bite and preventing the remaining teeth from drifting.
Modern crowns and bridges are made from porcelain, zirconia, or other tooth-colored materials, and many offices can design and mill them in a single visit using CAD/CAM technology.
