A crown (cap) is a dental restoration placed on teeth that have lost significant structure. Crowns come in various materials, including full porcelain, metal, or a combination, and your dentist will guide you in choosing the best option for your needs.

Crowns can also support a bridge—a dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges are bonded to surrounding teeth when natural support is insufficient and are fully customizable to match the color, shape, and texture of your smile.

Both crowns and bridges are designed to restore proper function, maintain aesthetics, and provide long-lasting durability. With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, most crowns and bridges can last a lifetime.
