  3. What Is a Crown? • Your teeth have only a very limited ability to heal themselves. When a fracture or a cavity occurs in a tooth, the standard treatment involves removing any decay that may have formed in that fracture and then filling the resulting hole with a material that’s strong enough to stand up to chewing forces and durable enough to last from 10 to 15 years.

  4. What Is a Crown? • In some instances, however, the tooth is too damaged for a simple restorative filling. Cracked teeth, for example, are typically too unstable to support conventional fillings, and placing a filling in a cracked tooth may actually cause the tooth to break further. A tooth can also be so badly worn down that filling it is unfeasible. In such cases, a dentist will typically recommend the placement of a crown, which is a kind of cap that’s fitted over the damaged tooth and cemented into place.

  5. What Is a Crown? Crowns are also used in conjunction with dental implants as well as when a tooth has been treated with a root canal. Additionally, crowns are placed on teeth that will be used as abutments for a dental bridge.

  6. What Is a Dental Bridge? • A dental bridge is an oral prosthesis that’s engineered to be a replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. A missing tooth is more than just a cosmetic issue. Remaining teeth may shift position in a patient’s mouth, which can affect the bite and hamper the performance of effective oral hygiene regimens. Missing teeth can also cause the underlying jawbone to shrink, which can lead to the appearance of premature aging.

  7. What Is a Dental Bridge? • A dental bridge is cemented into place using the two teeth on either side of the oral space as anchors for the prosthesis. These teeth are known as “abutments,” while the artificial replacement tooth is known as a “pontic.”
