What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Crowns: Also known as caps, crowns are custom-made restorations that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to protect it and restore its shape, size, and strength. They are designed to match the color and appearance of your natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
Bridges: A bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent healthy teeth or implants. It not only fills the gap but also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
Types of Crowns and Bridges
Types of Crowns:
Metal Crowns: Durable and long-lasting, ideal for molars or teeth that require strength over aesthetics.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: Combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain, suitable for both front and back teeth.
All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns: Perfect for front teeth, offering superior aesthetics and a natural appearance.
Zirconia Crowns: Known for their strength and natural look, zirconia crowns are an excellent choice for both front and back teeth.
Resin Crowns: A more affordable option, though less durable than other materials, used for temporary solutions.
Types of Bridges:
Traditional Bridges: Consist of one or more pontics (artificial teeth) anchored by crowns on adjacent teeth.
Cantilever Bridges: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth to support the bridge.
Maryland Bridges: Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth without crowns.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering enhanced stability and longevity.
Crowns are a replacement of missing teeth. These can be made of metal, gold, porcelain and zirconium.
Ceramic fused to metal Crowns:
Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns can be matched to the color of adjacent teeth (unlike metallic crowns). After all-ceramic crowns, these porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. However, at times the underlying metal can show through as a dark line.

All Ceramic crowns:
All-ceramic / all-porcelain dental crowns render a good natural color match in comparison to other crown types and probably is more suitable for those having metal allergies. All-ceramic crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth.

Zirconium crowns:
Zirconium stands to be the strongest all-ceramic coping material available today. It is ideal for people sensitive to metal or simply favor esthetics of metal-free restorations. Zirconium crowns and bridges are extremely strong and can be used anywhere in mouth. Zirconium crowns effectively withstand biting pressure of front as well as back teeth grinding. Zirconium crowns and bridges look close to natural teeth and the difference is hard to tell.
