Bridges and crowns are fixed appliances. Crowns and bridges, unlike removable devices such as dentures, which can be removed and cleaned on a daily basis, are cemented onto existing teeth or implants and can only be removed by a dentist. A crown is a dental restoration that completely covers or "caps" a damaged tooth. A crown can be used to improve the appearance, shape, or alignment of a damaged tooth in addition to strengthening it. A crown can also be used to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function on top of an implant. If you are missing one or more teeth, a bridge may be recommended. Missing teeth leave gaps that eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite. They fill the gap left by missing teeth. Bridges are attached to the natural teeth or implants that surround the gap.
