What is a dental crown?
Dental crowns are used when a tooth has a very large filling that exceeds the natural tooth structure, your tooth had root canal therapy, or for cosmetic reasons.
Dental crowns have many applications. The first is to be installed over a damaged tooth to cap the existing structure, which restores the damaged tooth so it can be used normally. Crowns can also be attached to dental implants to replace missing teeth; these implants will be surgically inserted into the jawbone and serve as the root for the tooth. This procedure keeps the crown steady and secure.
Additionally, dental crowns may also be used to provide extra support for dental bridges. They do not require any special treatment and can be brushed and flossed as normal.

What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridges are frequently employed when a patient loses one or more teeth. These bridges are called “bridges” because they comprise one or more substitute teeth that fill the gap created by losing the original teeth. Abutment crowns can be used on both ends, or permanently fixed precision metal mechanisms can be used to secure dental bridges. At Link Dental Excellence, each part of a dental bridge is individually designed to ensure a natural appearance and the intended functionality.
