Crowns or "Caps" are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, and they can be your best option when you desire a more dramatic change in your appearance. Using crowns, your dentist can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth, correct spacing that porcelain laminate veneers cannot, or achieve beautiful esthetics particularly if your teeth have been severely damaged.

Bridges (a restoration similar to a crown but for multiple teeth) are used to provide a lasting replacement to missing natural teeth. Your dentist will either cement them in place as a "fixed" restoration or attach them to adjacent teeth as a denture not just to replace missing teeth but also to prevent additional loss of "pink" gum tissue
