What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. Dental bridges are used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth, attaching artificial teeth to the surrounding natural teeth or dental implants.

Common Questions About Crowns and Bridges:
What is cheaper, a crown or a bridge?

The cost depends on the complexity of the procedure, but typically, crowns are less expensive as they focus on restoring a single tooth.

A dental bridge can replace anywhere from one to several teeth, depending on your specific dental needs.

What Are the Disadvantages of Crowns and Bridges?

Disadvantages of Crowns:
Requires some tooth reduction

The natural tooth needs to be shaped to fit the crown.

Crowns can wear down over time and may need to be replaced after 10-15 years.

Disadvantages of Bridges:
Impact on surrounding teeth
  • Adjacent teeth are sometimes reshaped to support the bridge.
  • If not cared for properly, food particles can get trapped under the bridge, leading to gum disease.
