What's a crown?
A crown is a dental restoration that completely caps a tooth. This is often placed when the tooth is partially damaged or broken. A dental crown is made of metal-ceramic, porcelain or zircon-ceramic. It looks like a real tooth and this kind of restoration is strong and lasts long.
What's a bridge?
A bridge is placed to replace one or more missing teeth. This fixed dental prothesis improves the aesthetic appearance and facilitates the chewing of food.
From which materials are they manufactured?
The dentist places the bridge on the prepared teeth with dental cement. A bridge is very resistant if the dental hygiene is good (brushing, flossing) and if it is regularly checked by a dentist.
