Break the ice with your smile: Bond better with Dental Bonding

What is the difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge?

The primary difference between a dental crown and a dental bridge lies in their purpose and function:

Dental Crown:
A single-tooth restoration is used to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth.
Commonly placed over a tooth that has had a large cavity, a crack, or a root canal to restore its strength, shape, and appearance.
Can be made from materials like porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination for durability and aesthetics.
Dental Bridge:
A multi-tooth restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth.
Consists of two crowns placed on adjacent healthy teeth (or dental implants) that support an artificial tooth (pontic) in between.
Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting and maintains proper bite alignment and function.
In summary, a crown restores a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to surrounding teeth.

Dental Crowns & Bridges: Which One Do You Need?

Dental Bridge

If you have a missing tooth, a dental bridge can restore your smile and oral function. Designed to “bridge the gap” left by a lost tooth, dental bridges consist of two crowns placed on the healthy teeth adjacent to the gap, supporting a false tooth in between.
When a tooth is missing, surrounding teeth may shift to fill the space, leading to misalignment, difficulty biting, increased risk of decay, and even jaw discomfort. A dental bridge helps prevent these issues while also enhancing your smile.

Additional Benefits of Dental Bridges:

Restore the appearance of your smile

Maintain proper chewing function

Improve speech clarity

Support your facial structure for a natural look

Dental Crown

If you have a large cavity, a damaged tooth, or have undergone a root canal, a dental crown may be the best solution to restore both strength and aesthetics. Crowns cover and protect teeth, bringing them back to their original size, shape, and function.

The Benefits of Dental Crowns:

Protect teeth from decay and infection

Restore cracked, chipped, or weakened teeth

Improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth

Provide additional strength after extensive dental treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer. Their lifespan depends on factors like oral hygiene, diet, and wear from grinding or clenching teeth.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is generally painless, as it is performed under local anesthesia. You may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but it typically subsides within a few days. Do not worry! We take complete care at Tadros Dental.

What materials are used for crowns and bridges?

They can be made from:

Porcelain or ceramic (for a natural appearance)
Metal alloys (for durability)
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (for strength and aesthetics)
Zirconia (a highly durable, tooth-colored option)

How do I care for my dental crown or bridge?

Maintain good oral hygiene by:

Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
Flossing daily, especially around the bridge to prevent plaque buildup
Avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage or dislodge the restoration
Visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings

Can I eat normally with a crown or bridge?

Yes! Once your crown or bridge is securely placed, you can eat most foods. However, we advise you to avoid hard, sticky, or excessively chewy foods that may cause damage.

Will my crown or bridge look natural?

Absolutely! Modern dental materials mimic natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency, ensuring a seamless, natural-looking smile
