Don’t let dental issues affect your quality of life—learn how these restorative treatments can transform your smile and boost your confidence.

Crowns and bridges are important dental treatments used to restore and replace teeth. A crown is a protective cap placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, using crowns on the surrounding teeth to hold a false tooth in place, restoring your smile and bite.

What is the Difference Between a Crown and a Bridge?

The primary difference between a crown and a bridge lies in their purpose and function in dental care. A crown is a restorative solution used to cover and protect a single damaged or weakened tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s original shape, size, strength, and appearance, allowing it to function properly and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

In contrast, a bridge is a dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by spanning the gap left by the missing teeth, with crowns placed on the neighboring teeth, known as abutment teeth, to support a false tooth or teeth, called pontics, in between. While a crown addresses issues with an individual tooth, a bridge is focused on filling gaps and restoring both the functionality and appearance of your smile.
