Dental crowns and bridges are both restorative solutions, but serve different purposes. A crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants. Both enhance function and appearance, but a bridge fills a gap, while a crown supports a single tooth.

The Dental Crown and Bridge Process
A dental crown or bridge is a restorative procedure designed to rebuild and protect your smile. It begins with a dental exam and tooth preparation, where the affected tooth or teeth are gently reshaped. Impressions are then taken to create a custom-fit crown or bridge. A temporary piece is worn while your restoration is crafted in a lab.
Once ready, your permanent crown or bridge is securely placed and adjusted for comfort. This procedure restores chewing function, protects damaged teeth, and brings back the beauty and confidence of a healthy smile. Regular care ensures lasting results.
