What are dental crowns?

A dental crown is designed to cover a weakened or damaged tooth in order to restore both aesthetics and function. They are tooth-shaped restorations made of porcelain, amalgam, gold or silver. While metal dental crowns are designed to offer more strength, for a natural look, porcelain crowns are much preferred. Dental crowns help the damaged teeth to function normally again. Dental crowns are also used to enhance the appearance of the teeth. Dental crown will be the best choice of restoration if there is a significant amount of teeth is missing above the gum line.

Crowning a tooth usually takes two to three dental visits. During your first visit, your teeth will be prepared to receive its crown. It will be shaped in order to fit inside the covering. This involves drilling to give a uniform shape to the tooth. If the tooth structure is insufficient, then a filling material may be used to make the tooth fit inside the crown. Once your tooth is ready, impressions of your tooth will be taken and sent to the laboratory. The impressions will be used to create a new crown. Until the permanent crown is ready, a temporary crown will be fixed to your tooth. At your next visit, a permanent crown will be fixed to your tooth with the help of a resin that will harden when exposed to a special light.

What are dental bridges?

A dental bridge acts as a restoration by replacing a missing tooth or teeth. A dental bridge comprises of two or more dental crowns that get placed on the teeth that are present on either side of the gap. These teeth serve as an anchor for the dental bridge.
