A crown is used to cap a damaged tooth or implant. It strengthens the tooth and improves its appearance, and is colour-matched to blend with your natural teeth. You may need a crown to replace a large filling, restore a fractured tooth, to attach a bridge, or to protect your tooth after a root canal.
A bridge is used to fill the gap left by missing teeth and helps prevent the remaining teeth from shifting. The bridge is cemented to the surrounding natural teeth, which anchor the prosthetic tooth. Like a crown, a bridge can match the colour of the natural teeth.
