About Dental Crowns and Bridges
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are made from porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination, and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
A dental bridge literally 'bridges' the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants, providing a fixed, non-removable solution for tooth loss.
