Crowns and bridges are intended as permanent replacements for teeth. Because treatment for a crown or bridge is more complicated than for a regular filling, you will need to visit your dentist several times. Crowns and bridges approximate the original shape of your teeth as closely as possible.
A crown is a fixed metal or porcelain cap that fits precisely over your ground-down tooth or molar. The crown will restore the tooth's original function and shape. A bridge is made to replace your teeth and is attached to two or more abutments. Abutments are ground teeth on either side of the gap left by the missing teeth.
A bridge consists of two or more crowns that fit onto pillars and a dummy. A dummy is a bridge section, which consists of one or more artificial teeth that are placed in the space left by the missing tooth. A bridge can also help prevent teeth from becoming crooked or growing in the wrong direction. When teeth are missing, the teeth in the jaw can grow towards the space left by the missing tooth.
