A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a dental restoration that encases or fully covers a tooth or dental implant. It is employed when a tooth is compromised, often due to a large dental cavity or other dental issues that threaten its health. By completely encasing the tooth, a crown not only restores its structural integrity but also enhances its appearance.

Conversely, a dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration, also referred to as a fixed dental prosthesis, used to replace one or more missing teeth. This restoration is achieved by securely attaching an artificial tooth to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The dental bridge effectively “bridges” the gap left by missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to the patient’s smile.

Both dental crowns and bridges are essential for maintaining oral health and function. Crowns protect and support weakened or damaged teeth, while bridges replace missing teeth to prevent issues like shifting teeth, bite problems, and jaw joint disorders. These restorations are meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing dental structure.
