Crown or Bridge: What's the Difference?
Both are fixed restorations made to match your bite and tooth shade. The right choice depends on whether the tooth can be saved or is already missing.

When Might You Need a Crown or Bridge?
The dentist will examine the tooth and, if needed, take a digital X-ray before recommending a restoration.

After Root Canal
A root canal treated tooth can become brittle, and a crown helps protect it from breaking.

Cracked or Broken Tooth
A crown holds a cracked tooth together and restores its shape and strength.

Large Filling or Decay
When too little natural tooth remains to support a filling, a crown can cover and protect it.

Treatment Process
Most crowns and bridges are completed in two visits, with a temporary restoration protecting the tooth in between.
1
Examination & X-ray
The dentist checks the tooth and surrounding gums and explains your options and their costs.
2
Tooth Preparation
Under local anaesthesia, the tooth is shaped to make room for the crown or bridge.
3
Impressions & Temporary
Accurate impressions are sent to the lab and a temporary crown protects the tooth meanwhile.
4
Fitting
The final restoration is checked for fit, bite and shade, then cemented in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental crowns and bridges.
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so preparation is comfortable for most patients. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
How many visits does a crown or bridge take?
Most crowns and bridges need two visits: one to prepare the tooth and take impressions, and a second to fit the final restoration once it returns from the lab.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, crowns and bridges commonly last many years. Avoiding very hard foods and treating teeth grinding helps them last longer.
Should I choose a bridge or a dental implant for a missing tooth?
A bridge is fixed to the neighbouring teeth, while an implant replaces the root and does not involve the adjacent teeth. The dentist will assess your bone, gums and nearby teeth and explain which option suits you.
Will my crown look like a natural tooth?
Yes. Zirconia and ceramic crowns are shade-matched to your surrounding teeth so they blend in with your smile.
How do I take care of a crown or bridge?
Brush twice a day, floss daily and clean under a bridge with floss threaders or an interdental brush. Visit the dentist for regular check-ups.
