Explore a lasting repair plan for a damaged tooth or a gap. Start with an assessment of the support your smile needs.
A crown covers an existing tooth, while a bridge replaces a missing tooth or teeth using supporting structures. These restorations have different purposes and are planned around the teeth and gums involved.
An assessment helps establish which approach makes sense for you. Appearance matters, but so do the supporting teeth, bite, cleaning and future maintenance.
Knowing what is involved can make it easier to plan. Your dentist will explain the approach recommended for your own circumstances.
Examine the teeth and gums and discuss whether a crown, bridge or another option fits your situation.
Agree the design and materials. Preparation and impressions or other records may be needed to make the restoration.
Check the fit and bite, then discuss cleaning around the restoration and the review plan.
Some designs require preparing natural teeth, and future repairs or replacement may be needed. A bridge is not suitable for every gap. Compare the proposed approach with other options before deciding.
Clean carefully around the restoration and keep regular reviews. Contact the clinic if it feels loose, breaks or becomes uncomfortable; do not try to glue it back yourself.
A crown restores a tooth that is still present. A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
Preparation, making the restoration and fitting it may take separate visits. Your plan should explain the sequence without assuming a fixed completion date.
Arrange an assessment and bring any detached restoration with you. The dentist can examine both it and the supporting tooth.
