What Are Crowns & Bridges?
What Are Crowns & Bridges?
Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments designed to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. Here’s a quick breakdown of each:
- Crowns are custom-made caps that fit securely over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance. We often use a crown after a root canal or to repair a large cavity that a regular filling can’t fix.
- Bridges are a solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth held in place by crowns attached to the surrounding natural teeth or implants.
Both crowns and bridges are carefully crafted to look and feel like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Aftercare
Caring for your crowns and bridges is simple. Ensure you maintain a good oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. To prevent damage, avoid biting down on hard objects like ice.
