What are bridges?
Dental bridges are replacements for a tooth that has fallen out or requires removal due to damage or decay. A bridge fills the gap using an artificial tooth, which is bonded to the teeth on either side so it is durable and permanently in place.
What are crowns?
Crowns are used to repair a tooth that is still in place but has noticeable flaws, such as chips, cracks, a cavity that can't be filled, severe discoloration, or protrusions. A crown is custom-made to fit over your tooth to conceal the damage. Once cemented on, it becomes strong and permanent.
