What is Dental Crown & Dental Bridge?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a damaged, broken and root canal-treated tooth, essentially completely covering the tooth and restoring it to its original shape and size. The goal is to enhance and strengthen the tooth and protect it from fracture.
A dental bridge is essentially a false tooth that is held into place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth in the same area by joining to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants next to the treated teeth.
Reasons for a Dental Crown include
- Broken, fractured, or chipped teeth/filling
- Cosmetic enhancement
- Discoloured teeth
- Root canal treated tooth
- Large fillings
- Tooth Sensitivity
Reasons for a Bridge include
- Fill the space for missing teeth
- Keep your remaining teeth from moving around
- Restore chewing and speaking ability
- Restore your smile
- Maintain facial shape
Why Choose Dental Crown?
The tooth that needs to be restored is filed down. Then an impression of the tooth is taken and used to custom-make your final crown. Until the final crown is made, a temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth. A temporary crown may not have the same shape and color as a permanent crown. At your next visit, the temporary crown will be removed, and the permanent crown will be cemented in place to restore function and appearance.
How long does a Dental Crown or Dental Bridge last?
The lifespan of dental crowns and bridges depends on factors like oral hygiene, materials used, and eating habits. On average:
- Dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care.
- Dental bridges typically last 10–20 years, depending on maintenance and oral health.
- Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding hard foods can extend their durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are crowns and bridges made from?
Crowns and bridges can be made from various materials, including:
- Porcelain
- Ceramic
- Zirconia
- Porcelain fused to metal (PFM)
- Gold or other metal alloys
Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your needs and preferences.
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
The procedure is typically not painful because the area is numbed with local anesthesia. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort may occur after treatment, but it usually subsides within a few days.
How many appointments are needed for a crown or bridge?
Most traditional crowns and bridges require two appointments:
- The first visit involves tooth preparation and impressions.
- The second visit involves placement of the final restoration.
Some clinics offer same-day crowns using advanced digital technology.
How do I care for my dental crown or bridge?
To maintain your restoration:
- Brush twice daily
- Floss daily
- Use floss threaders or interdental brushes around bridges
- Avoid chewing hard objects like ice
- Visit your dentist regularly for exams and cleanings
Can a crown or bridge look natural?
Yes. Modern crowns and bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile.
Can a crown or bridge become damaged?
Although durable, crowns and bridges can chip, crack, loosen, or wear down over time. Contact your dentist if you notice any discomfort, movement, or visible damage.
Will my crown or bridge affect my eating or speaking?
There may be a short adjustment period, but most patients quickly adapt and can eat and speak normally once they become accustomed to the restoration.
Are dental crowns and bridges covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your dental insurance plan and the reason for treatment. Your dental office can help you understand your benefits and estimated out-of-pocket costs.
What happens if I delay treatment for a damaged or missing tooth?
Delaying treatment can lead to further tooth damage, shifting of neighboring teeth, bite problems, difficulty chewing, and potential bone loss in the case of missing teeth. Early treatment often helps prevent more complex dental issues.
