A tooth crown, or a ‘cap,’ has the shape and appearance of a natural tooth, but is made from a material that is strong and resistant to wear and tear. It fully covers the underlying structure and helps preserve the natural spacing of the teeth in your mouth.

A dental bridges, just as the name indicates, is a fixed dental restoration that spans gaps in your smile created by one or more missing teeth.

A pontic is permanently attached to dental crowns on each side, that are later cemented onto the healthy neighbouring teeth, creating a permanent solution for a missing tooth, of few.

What Are The Different Types of Dental Bridges?

There are a few different types of crowns available :
● Porcelain-fused-to-metal Crowns: Porcelain crowns that are fused to a metal lining, are very popular for their strength and durability, and often used for teeth at the back of the mouth.
● All-Ceramic Crowns: Patients with metal allergies, or those needing crowns for the front teeth, might opt for a metal-free dental crown made out of ceramic. These crowns can blend with the colour of your natural teeth perfectly.
● All-Metal Crowns: Teeth that get a lot of heavy wear might require a metal crown. They are usually made of gold, platinum, or base-metal alloys.
● All Resin Crowns: These are generally very cost-effective, but often don’t have the durability of the other crowns.
