A dental crown and a dental bridge in Fishers, IN, are vastly different. However, they can work together if you have missing teeth.
What Does A Dental Crown Do?
A dental crown is a tooth cover designed to look and function like natural teeth. Your dentist in Fishers cements it over a treated tooth for various reasons, including:
- Restoring function to a weak or vulnerable tooth following trauma, decay, or root canal
treatment - Concealing tooth flaws, including shape issues, discoloration, chips, and cracks
In tooth replacement, dental crowns work in implant dentistry and in bridge support.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth root in the jaw. And it is the dental crown that tops this implant to create a new tooth.
A dental bridge is a tooth or teeth between dental crowns. The crowns cap healthy teeth and allow the bridge teeth to fill your smile. A traditional dental bridge in Fishers, IN, needs tooth crowns for anchorage and stability.
