– A crown is used to entirely cover or cap a tooth.

– Dentist may recommend a crown to:

• replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth structure remaining.
• protect a weak tooth from fracturing
• restore a fractured tooth
• attach a bridge
• cover an implant
• cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
• cover a root-treated tooth

– Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth.

– It spans a space where one or more teeth have been lost in the mouth.

– Materials used for both crown and bridge are metal, gold, ceramic or combination of metal fused to porcelain.
