👑 Crowns vs Bridges: what’s the difference?
Both restore your smile, but they solve different problems. Here’s a quick guide:
🦷 CROWNS: protecting a damaged tooth
A crown is a custom-made cap that fits over your existing tooth.
✅ Strengthens teeth that are cracked, worn or heavily filled
✅ Protects a tooth after root canal therapy
✅ Improves the shape and colour of a discoloured or misshapen tooth
✅ Can also sit on top of a dental implant
🌉 BRIDGES: replacing a missing tooth
A bridge “bridges the gap” where a tooth is missing. A replacement tooth is held in place by crowns on the teeth either side.
✅ Fills the gap so your smile looks complete
✅ Restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably
✅ Stops neighbouring teeth from drifting out of position
✅ Fixed in place, so there’s nothing to take out at night
💡 In short: a crown saves a tooth, a bridge replaces one.
