A crown is a restoration that covers a tooth. The purpose of a crown is to restore the tooth's natural size and shape, as well as improving the tooth's appearance. Crowns look and feel natural and usually last for over five years.
Crowns are necessary when a tooth is damaged and a regular filling won't work. Crowns hold the cracked tooth together while ensuring the crack won't get worse.
Bridges
If a missing tooth is left unfilled, surrounding teeth may begin to drift out of position. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth.
Bridges are cemented in and cannot be removed by the patient. A bridge can be maintained in the same manner as natural teeth, by regular flossing, brushing, and visiting your dentist.
