What Is Dental Crowns & Bridges?
Understanding Dental Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown may be considered when a tooth has:
- Significant decay
- A large existing filling
- Extensive structural damage
- A crack or fracture
- Been weakened after root canal treatment

CROWN & BRIDGE FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns & Bridges
Have questions about dental crowns or bridges in Ottawa? Explore answers to common questions about restoring damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth, treatment options, costs, care and what to expect during your crown or bridge treatment.
A dental crown is a custom restoration that covers an existing tooth to help restore its shape, strength and function.
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth.
The lifespan of a crown depends on factors such as oral hygiene, chewing forces, the condition of the supporting tooth and regular dental care.
Modern crowns can be designed to closely match the appearance of your surrounding teeth.
The tooth is typically numbed during preparation. Some sensitivity or tenderness may occur afterward.
Not every root canal-treated tooth necessarily requires a crown. The recommendation depends on the tooth, remaining structure and other clinical factors.
Some dental bridges can replace more than one missing tooth, depending on the location and available support.
A badly damaged tooth may sometimes be restored with a crown, but the tooth must have sufficient structure and support. Your dentist will assess whether restoration is possible.
Continue brushing twice daily, cleaning between your teeth and attending regular dental appointments. Your dentist may recommend additional cleaning techniques depending on your restoration.

Crown and Bridge
There are numerous options available including crowns and bridges to restore teeth functionally and aesthetically.
Crowns and bridges are designed digitally or manually to achieve the perfect fit, function and aesthetics.
They are made of ceramic, porcelain or precious alloys. A bridge is an assembly to replace a missing or previously extracted tooth.

When is a crown or a bridge needed? What is the procedure?
When there is extensive damage to a tooth because of decay, trauma, bruxism or other reasons, full coverage of the tooth is required to prevent the remaining tooth structure from breaking apart. Crown can also be used for aesthetic purposes. A bridge is one of the options to replace an empty area between the two or more teeth.
A crown or bridge is usually one or two appointment procedure. The first visit is to prep the teeth, and get an impression of it. A temporary crown or bridge is placed at the end of the first visit. The second visit is to cement the lab custom fabricated crown or bridge which are seamless and similar as natural teeth in shape and size.
