What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength, improving its appearance. They are typically used to protect a weak tooth, restore a broken tooth, or cover a dental implant.
Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. This helps to restore your bite, prevent the shifting of teeth, and maintain the natural contour of your face.
