Crowns and bridges are restorative dental solutions designed to repair and replace damaged or missing teeth. A dental crown is a cap placed over a weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. These restorations enhance both function and aesthetics, ensuring a strong, healthy, and confident smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they are long-lasting, crowns and bridges may need replacement after several years due to normal wear. Proper care can extend their lifespan significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typically, the process requires two visits. The first visit includes tooth preparation and impressions, while the second visit involves fitting and securing the final restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain their longevity. Avoiding hard foods can also help prevent damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. Mild sensitivity may occur after placement but usually subsides within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
