Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to repair damaged teeth and replace missing teeth. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used when a tooth has significant decay, a large filling, or has undergone a root canal treatment.

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap between healthy teeth. A bridge typically consists of one or more artificial teeth that are anchored in place by crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. This structure restores the appearance and function of the smile while preventing nearby teeth from shifting out of position.
