A dental crown is a cap-like structure designed to cover and protect a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth. Made from durable materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while improving its functionality.
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored in place by crowns placed on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges help fill the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your smile and preventing oral health issues such as shifting teeth or bite misalignment.
At Smiley Dental Clinic, we offer custom-made crowns and bridges crafted to match your natural teeth for seamless results.
While a crown is used to cover and protect a single tooth, a bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap and anchoring onto adjacent teeth or implants.
Crowns and bridges can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination. Porcelain and ceramic are popular for their natural appearance, while metal options are known for their durability.
The procedure is typically pain-free as it is performed under local anesthesia. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after the procedure.
