Dental crowns are used when a tooth has Deep decay or after a root canal when there is not enough tooth structure left for filling. The crown is a cover that your dentist put over the tooth to keep it covered and protected in the future.

What is a dental bridge?
Dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth and it’s a permanent fixture. It is held in place by the healthy adjacent teeth, called abutments which provide support on either side.
