Both dental bridges and crowns are treatments that improve oral functionality and rebuild your lost smile. Made of porcelain, both prosthetic devices aim to mimic the natural appearance of your teeth.
They are different in the following ways:
A crown covers damaged teeth to improve their alignment, shape, or appearance. Crowns do not require the support of adjacent teeth.
Bridges fill the gap between missing teeth by combining two or more crowns. They require the support of neighboring teeth to function properly.
Our detailed and expert dental craftsmanship at Doctor Smile Newport Beach restores the appearance and functionality of your teeth by using dental crowns.
Equipped with the latest CEREC same-day crowns that use innovative CAM/CAD technology to fully restore your tooth in a single visit, we maximize the benefits of our restorative procedure.
Same-day crowning minimizes the risk of injury and requires less drilling. For crowns, we remove the damaged part of the tooth and create a natural-looking prosthetic that is permanently capped over your tooth, making it stronger and resistant to damage.
Correcting tooth loss and appearance helps you comfortably chew and bite again. Dental bridges also reinforce the surrounding teeth by replacing a missing tooth, preventing them from losing shape and strength.
Made from the combination of two or more crowns, dental bridges fill the spaces left by missing teeth to bring back your beautiful smile. Each end of a bridge is attached to the neighboring teeth for support.
Our highly qualified team of experts at Newport Beach has rebuilt the confidence and smile of numerous patients. So, we are sure we can help you bring back yours too!
