What Is the Difference Between a Dental Crown and Bridge?

Dental crowns and bridges are aesthetic restorations that address weak, damaged, or missing teeth, restoring your smile's health and function. At Broadwing Dental Studio, we use the latest technology and techniques to deliver high-quality restorations meticulously crafted to withstand the test of time. Our experienced team will help you determine the ideal restorative dentistry solution based on your unique needs.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are aesthetic, tooth-shaped "caps" that cover the visible portions of weak or damaged teeth, restoring their strength, size, shape, and natural appearance. At Broadwing Dental Studio, we offer a range of dental crown materials, including all-ceramic and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). We closely match your restoration to your natural teeth, delivering seamless smiles.

Dental crowns serve numerous purposes. They can protect weak, damaged, or severely decayed teeth and hold together cracked or broken teeth. They are also ideal for covering and restoring teeth with severe wear resulting from habitual grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism. We may also recommend a dental crown to preserve a tooth after a root canal or to replace one or more teeth by covering a dental implant or supporting a dental bridge.

Dental crowns can also make cosmetic enhancements by improving the appearance of chipped, misshapen, slightly misaligned, gapped, or severely discolored teeth. The result? A beautiful, healthy, and functional smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are fixed restorations designed to replace one or more teeth in a row lost due to deep decay, infection, periodontal disease, or trauma. They consist of replacement teeth, known as pontics, supported by crowns on natural teeth, called abutments, on either side of the gap.

Your new bridge will restore your ability to chew with comfort and enjoy more of your favorite foods, speak with clarity, and smile confidently once again. It will also prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting toward the space, preserving the alignment of your teeth and bite. Your new dental bridges will redistribute your bite's forces, helping reduce the risk of periodontal disease, uneven tooth wear and fracture, and even TMJ pain. A dental bridge is an investment in your smile and your overall quality of life.

Dental Crown vs Bridges - Which One Is Right for You?

The restoration right for you will depend on your smile's unique needs. A dental crown can preserve a weak, damaged, or compromised tooth, restoring its strength, appearance, and function. If, however, you have a missing tooth, a bridge may be your ideal solution to restore your complete smile.

It's important to keep in mind that a bridge relies on healthy teeth for support. So if any of these teeth are weak, damaged, or compromised, a single implant or implant-supported bridge may be a better option. Our experienced team will help you determine the ideal restorative option to restore your healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
