What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that fits completely over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth, protecting the remaining structure while reinstating its natural shape and function.

Where one or more teeth are missing, dental bridges span the gap using crowns fixed to the adjacent teeth on each side. A false tooth sits in between, restoring normal bite function with a permanent fixed solution.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Addressing a damaged or missing tooth with a crown or bridge delivers several clinical advantages for your overall oral health and long-term dental function. These treatments can help with:

How Does the Crown and Bridge Treatment Process Work?

1

Initial Consultation

Your first appointment involves a thorough assessment of your teeth and dental health. Your dentist will discuss your concerns, outline available options, and explain each step. Digital imaging is used to assess the tooth structure and develop a tailored plan.

2

Preparation and Impressions

A small amount of enamel is removed for crowns, and adjacent teeth are prepared for bridges. Impressions are taken to craft a custom restoration in the laboratory, colour-matched to your natural teeth. A temporary crown is placed while the final piece is made. 

3

Fitting Your Crown or Bridge

At your second visit, your dentist seats the finished restoration, checks the fit and bite, and makes any adjustments needed. The crown or bridge is cemented permanently, and you leave with guidance on how to maintain it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Dental crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, porcelain fused to metal, or gold. Porcelain and ceramic options are colour-matched to blend with natural teeth. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate material based on the location of the tooth and your clinical needs.

Brushing twice daily and cleaning between the teeth with floss or interdental brushes helps protect the gum line around a crown or bridge. Your dentist will provide specific home care instructions at your appointment.

A temporary crown is fitted between appointments to protect the prepared tooth. The final crown, placed at your second visit, is a permanent restoration cemented in place. With good oral hygiene, it can remain functional for many years.

A bridge uses the teeth adjacent to the gap as anchors. These teeth are prepared and fitted with crowns, which support the false tooth in the middle. The entire structure is made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.

With proper care and good oral hygiene, crowns and bridges can last many years. Regular dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the restoration and address any signs of wear or changes to the surrounding teeth early.
