Crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges
Crowns and bridges are important types of dental restorations used to restore damaged or missing teeth and improve both function and appearance. A crown is a cap placed over a weakened or damaged tooth to protect it from further decay, restore its shape, and strengthen its structure for normal chewing and speaking. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the neighboring natural teeth, filling gaps in the smile. Together, crowns and bridges help maintain proper bite alignment, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, and provide a natural-looking, durable solution for long-term dental health.
