Crowns and bridges are dental prosthetic devices used to restore and replace missing or damaged teeth. They are fixed restorations that are cemented onto existing teeth or dental implants, providing strength, stability, and an improved appearance.
A dental crown, sometimes referred to as a dental cap, is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or decayed tooth above the gum line. It is used to strengthen and protect a tooth, restore its shape, size, and function, and enhance its appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of materials.
