How crowns and bridges work

Treatment is tailored to the condition of your teeth, your bite, and the final look you want to achieve.

01

Assessment and planning

We examine the tooth or gap, assess gum health, and plan the most suitable restoration using a precise, patient-first approach.

02

Tooth preparation

For crowns, the tooth is carefully shaped to support the restoration. For bridges, the supporting teeth are prepared with attention to strength and fit.

Well-planned restorations can improve chewing comfort, protect weakened teeth, and restore smile harmony with a natural finish.

03

Shade and fit

The restoration is selected and refined to match your smile, facial features, and bite for a seamless appearance.

04

Final placement

Your crown or bridge is securely placed and checked for comfort, stability, and long-term function.

Crowns and bridges FAQ

Quick answers to common questions about restorative treatment. Medically Reviewed By: Dr. Soorya

What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?

A crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by connecting an artificial tooth to supporting teeth on either side.

Do crowns and bridges look natural?

Yes. Modern restorations are designed to blend with your natural teeth in shape, shade, and overall smile balance.

Is the procedure painful?

Treatment is typically comfortable and performed with appropriate anesthesia. Most patients return to normal routines quickly.

How long do crowns and bridges last?

With good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and proper bite care, crowns and bridges can last for many years.

Can a crown protect a root canal treated tooth?

In many cases, yes. A crown can help protect a root canal treated tooth from fracture and restore function.

How do I know if I need a bridge?

If you have a missing tooth and want a fixed replacement, a clinical evaluation can determine whether a bridge is the right option for your smile and bite.
