DENTAL CROWNS & BRIDGES
Restore • Replace • Protect | Strong, Natural‑Looking Smiles
Dental crowns and bridges are high‑quality fixed restorations used to repair damaged teeth, replace missing teeth, protect remaining tooth structure, and enhance the overall appearance and function of your smile.
🦷 Dental Crown: A custom‑made, durable cap that covers an entire tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, strength, and colour.
🦷 Dental Bridge: A fixed solution that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth, anchored securely to neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants.
Dental Crown vs. Dental Bridge
| Feature | Dental Crown | Dental Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Covers, protects, and restores a single damaged, weakened, or discoloured tooth | Replaces one or more missing teeth by filling the gap between existing teeth |
| Function | Strengthens structure; improves shape, colour, and alignment | Bridges the space; prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting; restores full arch function |
| Structure | Single custom‑made cap covering the entire tooth above gum line | Consists of pontics (artificial replacement teeth) held by abutment crowns on adjacent teeth |
| Ideal For |
|
|
| Preparation | Requires reshaping of one natural tooth or implant post | Requires reshaping of two healthy adjacent teeth (for traditional bridge) or placement on implants |
| Primary Benefit | Preserves and saves your natural tooth | Restores a complete smile and maintains proper bite alignment |
Materials Used
Both crowns and bridges are crafted from durable, aesthetic materials:
🦷 Porcelain / Ceramic: Highest aesthetics, perfect colour match
🦷 Zirconia: Superior strength, translucency, and long‑wearing
🦷 Porcelain‑Fused‑to‑Metal (PFM): Balances strength and appearance
🦷 Gold / Metal Alloys: Very strong, ideal for back teeth under heavy bite pressure
