What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that fits over a tooth and is designed to look just like your natural teeth. Dental crowns serve many different functions, such as:
  • Preserving a damaged tooth
  • Covering a stained or misshapen tooth
  • Covering a large filling
In some instances, our dentist may recommend dental crowns in tandem with a dental bridge.

How Do Dental Bridges and Crowns Work Together?

As the name suggest, dental bridges bridge the gap left behind by missing teeth. For example, if you are missing a tooth, our dentist can prepare the teeth on both sides of the gap to hold a replacement tooth in place. With one type of dental bridge, this preparation process involves removing some of the enamel and fitting dental crowns over the teeth.
Another option is to have the teeth removed and replaced with dental implants. This type of dental bridge works well in scenarios where the patient has multiple missing teeth in a row. It’s also a good option when the teeth on both sides of the gap are too decayed to be preserved with a dental crown.
