Crowns and bridges are dental restorations that are used to replace missing or damaged teeth. A dental crown is a prosthetic device that is used to cover or cap a damaged tooth or implant. A dental bridge is a prosthetic device that is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or implants.
The placement of a dental crown or bridge typically requires two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, your dentist will prepare your teeth by removing any decay or damage and shaping them to fit the dental crown or bridge. They will then take an impression of your teeth and send it to a dental laboratory, where your custom-made crown or bridge will be fabricated.
While you wait for your permanent crown or bridge to be made, your dentist will place a temporary crown or bridge on your teeth to protect them. Once your permanent crown or bridge is ready, you will return to the dentist’s office for the second visit. Your dentist will remove the temporary crown or bridge and replace it with the permanent crown or bridge, making any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit and bite.
