Crowns and bridges are common dental prosthetic devices used to restore and strengthen damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made covers that encase a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are often used to protect a tooth after a root canal, repair a broken or decayed tooth, or cover a dental implant. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Both crowns and bridges are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, ensuring long-lasting results and natural-looking aesthetics. The process of getting a crown or bridge typically involves multiple appointments, including tooth preparation, impression-taking, fabrication of the prosthetic, and final placement. With proper care and maintenance, crowns and bridges can restore oral function, improve bite alignment, and enhance the appearance of the smile, providing patients with renewed confidence and comfort.
