If you have one or more missing teeth, your dentist may recommend replacement for the same.
There are removable options like dentures and there are fixed options like dental implants, crowns and bridges.
Difference between Dental Crown and Dental Bridge:
| CROWN |
BRIDGE |
| A dental crown is for a single damaged/decayed tooth or can be placed on a dental implant to replace a missing tooth | Bridges replace missing teeth. They have two crowns on either side which makes a bridge at the area of missing teeth. There are implant supported bridges too |
Materials available for crowns and bridges:
- Emax
- Zirconia
- All ceramic
- Porcelain fused to metal
- Gold/Other metal alloys
- Acrylic
