Crowns are dental restorations that surround the prepared tooth structure to help strengthen weakened teeth that have been cracked, broken or decayed. Dentists use crown to help restore a tooth’s shape and improve chewing function, speech and aesthetics. These crowns get bonded or cemented into place and are made out of porcelain, metal or a combination of both.
Bridges are dental restorations designed to replace the areas where there are one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges are made to rest on natural teeth, or implants, and are usually crowns that are splinted (attached) together.
