Dental Crown : What You Should Know

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. It helps protect the tooth and can improve its look.

When Do You Need a Crown?

You may need a crown if:
  • Your tooth is broken, cracked, or severely worn down.
  • You have a large filling and not much tooth structure is left.
  • After a root canal, to protect the treated tooth.
  • You want to cover a discolored or misshapen tooth.

How is a Crown Placed?

  • The dentist prepares the tooth by removing a small amount of the outer surface.
  • An impression or digital scan is taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
  • A temporary crown may be placed until the permanent one is ready.
  • The final crown is cemented onto the prepared tooth.

Types of Crowns

  • Zirconia: Best for front teeth as they look most natural.
  • Metal: Very strong and good for back teeth.
  • Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal: Combines strength and appearance.

Benefits of a Crown

  • Protects and strengthens a damaged tooth
  • Restores tooth function
  • Improves your smile and confidence

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is made up of artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored in place by crowns attached to the surrounding natural teeth.

When Do You Need a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is recommended if you:
  • Have one or more missing teeth
  • Want to restore your ability to chew or speak properly
  • Want to maintain the shape of your face and prevent other teeth from shifting

How Does a Dental Bridge Work?

  • The dentist prepares the teeth on either side of the gap by shaping them for crowns.
  • Impressions are taken to create a custom bridge.
  • The bridge, along with the crowns, is placed to fill the gap, restoring function and appearance.

Types of Dental Bridges

  • Traditional Bridge: The most common type, supported by crowns on both sides.
  • Cantilever Bridge: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth to support the bridge.
  • Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework to bond the bridge to the surrounding teeth.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

  • Restores your smile and confidence
  • Helps maintain proper chewing and speaking function
  • Prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of position
