What is Crowns & Bridges Treatment?
Crowns and bridges are dental solutions used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth. It’s one of the most effective permanent tooth restoration solutions for long-term function and aesthetics.
- A crown acts like a cap placed over a weak or broken tooth to restore its shape and strength.
- A bridge fills the gap created by missing teeth using support from nearby teeth.

How soon can you get back to your normal routine after getting a crown or bridge?
Most daily activities can be resumed within 1–2 days after the procedure, with minor adjustments initially.
Do crowns and bridges require special maintenance?
Routine oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are usually sufficient to maintain them.
Can multiple missing teeth be replaced with a bridge?
