What Is The Purpose of Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges play a crucial role in maintaining oral health. Crowns work to protect, cover, and restore the function of damaged teeth, while bridges effectively fill in gaps left by missing teeth, preventing remaining teeth from drifting out of place and helping maintain normal tooth alignment.

Both crowns and bridges contribute to a healthy, functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.

What Is A Dental Crown?

A dental crown is essentially a cap that is customised to fit over a damaged or decayed tooth. Its primary function is to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, effectively encapsulating the entire visible portion of the tooth from the gum line upwards.

While our primary goal is always to maintain the health of your natural teeth, there are instances when a dental crown becomes the optimal solution to ensure the preservation of health.

These could include scenarios such as protecting a weakened tooth from further damage or restoring an already broken tooth.

Why Would I Require A Dental Crown?

The need for a dental crown can arise from several circumstances. The most common one is to protect a weak or decayed tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth. A crown is also often required to cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there aren’t a lot of teeth left. Crowns can also be used for cosmetic reasons, such as covering misshapen or severely discoloured teeth.

What Is A Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge, as the name suggests, bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, known as anchor teeth, and a false tooth or teeth in between. The false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials.

Why Would I Require A Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are commonly used to restore your smile when you have one or more missing teeth. They also maintain the shape of your face, distribute your bite forces properly by replacing missing teeth, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
