Caps that restore a damaged tooth, or a fixed replacement spanning a gap.
What it involves
A crown covers a tooth that is broken or heavily filled. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Both are usually completed within a single trip.
Who it suits
Crowns suit teeth too damaged for a filling but with a sound root. Bridges need healthy teeth either side of the gap to carry the load.
Risks and things to consider
Preparing teeth for a crown or bridge removes tooth structure permanently. The supporting teeth of a bridge carry extra load and can be affected over time. Both need replacing eventually. Sensitivity after fitting is common and usually settles.
