Cosmetic Denstistry—Crowns & 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.
Crowns
A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function. Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
Bridges
A bridge may be recommended if you're missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. These teeth, called abutments, serve as anchors for the bridge. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
