A crown is a covering made to fit over a tooth; a bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth using support from nearby teeth or implants. They serve different purposes, so the name of the proposed restoration matters. A dentist considers the tooth or gap, surrounding teeth, gums, and bite before discussing a design. Custom restorations may involve laboratory work and more than one visit.
Assessment may include an examination of the tooth, nearby teeth, gums, and bite, with images if needed. The dentist can explain whether a crown, bridge, removable option, implant-supported restoration, or another approach fits the findings. If a custom restoration is planned, the process may include a scan or impression and a later fitting visit. Ask how the temporary and final stages differ.
The choice depends on how much sound tooth remains, the condition of neighbouring teeth, gum health, the size of a gap, and how the bite loads the area. A bridge and a crown are not interchangeable, and supporting teeth may need preparation. Cleaning access and future maintenance should be discussed before deciding. If the proposed plan affects several teeth, ask for the reasons for each part.
A crown covers an individual tooth, while a bridge replaces a gap by connecting a replacement tooth to supporting structures. The dentist can explain which teeth or implants would provide support in a particular plan.
Some bridge designs replace multiple teeth, but suitability depends on the gap and the support available. An examination is needed to compare a bridge with other replacement options.
Not always. Custom work may need laboratory preparation. Ask the dentist to explain the expected stages for your restoration.
