A dental crown is a cap-like restoration that is placed over a damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape, and appearance where as a dental bridge is prosthesis to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns on adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
What patients are saying?
Dr. Rana understood my concerns and anxiety from my first visit and I had multiple teeth missing. She made a plan for me and I had missing teeth replaceed with bridges just over few appointments without any discomfort. I am not afraid of the dentist anymore, thanks to Dr. Rana.

When are dental crowns recommended?
Dental crowns are recommended for a variety of reasons, including protecting a weak tooth, covering a discolored or misshapen tooth, restoring a broken or heavily decayed tooth, and as a part of dental implant treatment.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
The lifespan of dental crowns and bridges can vary depending on the materials used, oral hygiene practices, and general wear and tear. On average, they can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more with proper care.
Is getting a dental crown or bridge painful?
The procedure for getting a dental crown or bridge is typically not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring that you feel minimal discomfort during the process.
How long does it take to get a dental crown or bridge?
The process usually requires two appointments. During the first appointment, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken. A temporary crown or bridge may be placed. In the second appointment, the permanent crown or bridge is fitted and cemented in place.
Can I remove a dental bridge?
No, dental bridges are typically not removable by the patient. They are fixed in place using dental crowns or implants for stability.

Proper oral hygiene is crucial. Brush and floss regularly, and schedule routine dental check-ups. Your dentist may recommend special care instructions based on the type of crown or bridge you have.
