A crown is used to entirely cover or "cap" a damaged tooth or an implant. While strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown also improves its appearance, shape or alignment. A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.
A dentist may recommend a crown to replace a large filling when there isn't enough tooth remaining, Protect a weak tooth from fracturing, Restore a fractured tooth, Attach a bridge, Cover a dental implant, Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth, Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment.
Dental Bridges
Bridge may be recommended if you're missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
