Both crowns and bridges can help preserve your teeth, but they work in different manners. Below are short descriptions of how crowns and bridges each work.

• Crowns:
  Dental crowns are caps that cover the entire exposed area of your tooth. Crowns support your tooth’s structure, improve tooth strength, and enhance tooth appearance.

• Bridges:
  Dental bridges provide reliable, natural-looking permanent restoration for missing teeth. A bridge is a false tooth that bridges the gap caused by a missing tooth (or teeth).
  Unlike a removable partial denture, bridges are connected to adjacent teeth that are covered with crowns and bonded into place. Bridges are the most common type of restoration for an area missing one or two teeth.

Crown and bridge restorations are important to correct your bite, improve your smile, and boost your confidence. Refer more advantages on the right 👉.

Getting a crown or bridge at Kencana Dental usually requires an appointment after your initial consultation. During your next visit, your dentist preps your tooth (or teeth) by reshaping it and making impressions for the dental lab.

After this visit, it takes up to 2-3 weeks for the dental lab to fabricate your new prosthetic. You just need to come in one more time for a short appointment to ensure your crown or bridge fits properly and to bond it into place. Your dentist can adjust your crown or bridge as needed to ensure it fits comfortably.
