Crowns and bridges are restorative dental treatments used to repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones. A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a weakened or damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment, for severely decayed teeth, or to protect cracked or worn teeth.

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap between healthy teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. This structure helps restore proper chewing ability and prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of position.
