Crowns and bridges are fixed dental restorations used to restore the function, shape, and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth. A crown (also called a cap) covers and protects a weakened or root canal–treated tooth, restoring its strength and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. These restorations are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural smile.
