Dental Crowns and Bridges

What is a dental bridge?

Dental crowns and bridges are made of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal. The procedure will depend on your unique needs and goals, as well as the recommendation of your dentist.

All ceramic crowns may be made of different materials (free of metal). They create a natural-looking appearance and are typically used on front teeth. Currently, Zirconia stands as the hardest material to be safely used on molars.

Dental Crowns and Bridges

What are Dental Crowns and Tooth Bridges?

Both crowns and most bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

Bridges are exactly that: a bridge. They cover a gap between existing natural teeth or implants and these adjacent teeth are prepared as crowns with a replacement tooth in the middle attached to cover the gap. You have the same advantages as crowns regarding aesthetics and matching tooth colour.

What’s the difference between a crown, a bridge, and a dental implant?

Dental implants are more expensive, but they come with many advantages like offering a more natural feel compared to bridges and dentures that can sometimes shift or slip in your mouth. Implants don’t usually hamper eating or speaking like some other options can.

Implants do not require that other healthy teeth be drilled and prepared like they do for a bridge.
