What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

Dental crowns are protective “caps” placed over weakened, fractured, or root canal–treated teeth, restoring their shape, strength, and appearance. Dental bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth, using crowns on adjacent healthy teeth or implants to anchor a lifelike replacement tooth (pontic). Both treatments prevent shifting, improve chewing, and promote a natural-looking, healthy smile.
