What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?

What Are Dental Crowns?  dental crown close up | Dental Crowns in Concord NH | White Park Dental

Your White Park Dental dentist might recommend a dental crown to cover all the surfaces of your tooth. Crowns not only improve the appearance of an existing tooth, but they can also protect a weak or damaged tooth. Crowns are also the visible portion of a dental implant. Dental crowns are stain-resistant and can last for many years, and they look so natural people won't be able to tell them apart from your existing teeth. 

You may want a crown to:

  • Strengthen a large filling
  • Protect a broken or weak tooth
  • Attach a bridge
  • Strengthen a fractured tooth
  • Cover a stained or misshapen tooth
  • Protect a root canal treatment

 

What Is a Dental Bridge? dental bridge close up photo | Dental Bridges in Concord NH | White Park Dental

A bridge can restore one or multiple missing teeth. Having a missing tooth can affect your appearance, the way you speak and eat. To fill in the gaps that are left by missing teeth, a bridge may be the perfect solution. Bridges adhere to the teeth surrounding the missing tooth where crowns are placed; a replacement tooth attaches to the crowns. This fills in the gap and prevents your teeth from shifting. Like dental crowns, bridges look like your natural tooth.
