Crowns are usually considered when teeth are chipped or severely decayed. Dentists also use crowns to conceal dental implants or hold down bridges. Misshapen and stained teeth also require crowns. A dental bridge remains an option when a few of your teeth are missing due to injury, gum disease or tooth decay.

A dental bridge comprises several false teeth held down by surrounding teeth. Plastic or porcelain is used to make the bridge, giving the false teeth an authentic look. Dental implants fuse to the jawbone forming a root made of titanium.

A dental crown is a suitable option when the tooth is chipped or slightly damaged but remains functional. However, getting a bridge is favourable if nothing is left of the tooth or a few teeth are missing.
