A dental crown is a cap that is cemented on to your prepared existing tooth hence replaces the natural crown. It is often the best way to save a tooth and strengthen it. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth anchored to adjacent natural teeth.
You require a dental crown when your tooth is weakened, chipped, broken due to:
- Trauma
- Tooth decay
- Large fillings
- Root canal treatment
- Age-related wear and tear

- Prevent the teeth near the gap from shifting
- Maintain natural bite
- Improve chewing ability
What are the different types of crown/bridge materials:
- Full Metal
