When a tooth is severely damaged, fractured, or completely missing, restorative options like dental crowns and bridges restore oral function and aesthetics. While both are fixed prosthetics, they serve distinct clinical purposes.
Dental Crowns: Protecting Damaged Teeth
A dental crown (often called a “cap”) encases the entire visible portion of a weakened or root-canal-treated tooth, restoring its anatomical shape, strength, and appearance.
Dental Bridges: Replacing Missing Teeth
A dental bridge spans the gap created by one or more missing teeth, using crowns on neighbouring anchor teeth (abutments) to support artificial replacement teeth (pontics) in between.
