A dental crown is a restoration option used for multiple scenarios, but they all include acting as a cap to either protect a real tooth or rest on top of a dental implant. An implant acts as a tooth root, but it still needs something to cover it. This is where the crown comes into play, acting as an artificial tooth connected by something called an abutment.
Bridges are a common alternative to dental implants that sit in the gap between one or more missing teeth. Unlike implants, this restoration is not connected to the jawbone but rather the surrounding teeth, which will anchor the bridge in place.
One of the most common methods for dental bridge placements is putting dental crowns on the teeth next to the gap. The new artificial tooth will be bonded to them, giving it the necessary strength to be fully functional.
