What Are Crowns and Bridges?

Crowns and bridges are two related restorative dentistry treatments. Dental crowns are intended to cover up and restore severely damaged teeth. They are built to look just like a natural tooth, and are placed over your remaining enamel once your tooth has been trimmed. The crown covers up your remaining tooth structure all the way down to your gum line, protecting it from further damage.

Bridges are related because they use two dental crowns to support a false tooth, and restore one or more missing teeth. The two crowns are placed on healthy “abutment” teeth adjacent to the missing tooth and a false tooth (pontic) is suspended between these teeth, and rests in the gap where your missing tooth used to be.

What Are the Signs That I Need a Crown?

Crowns are usually needed if your tooth has been seriously damaged by decay or oral trauma. Watch out for these signs of decay and damage:

  • a toothache
  • sensitivity to heat and cold
  • pain when chewing
  • discoloration and inflammation around your tooth

What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns have a few great benefits. First, they allow you to get relief from the pain of a damaged tooth. You’ll be able to chew and eat properly again. Crowns also look and feel completely natural, and can even be used to improve the appearance of your smile. In addition, dental crowns are very strong and durable, and protect your remaining tooth structure from decay and damage.

How Much Do Crowns and Bridges Cost?

Cost of treatment tends to vary quite a bit because each patient has different dental needs. For this reason, it is difficult to provide an accurate cost estimate.
