Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom-fitted cap that covers the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. Crowns are made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a durable and aesthetic solution to damaged teeth.
Signs It’s Time to Talk to Your Dentist About a Crown
- Visible damage or cracks in your teeth
- Severe tooth decay that a filling can't repair
- Discomfort or toothache from damaged teeth
- After a root canal, to protect the restored tooth
- To cover and complete a dental implant
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge consists of one or more prosthetic teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent teeth. Bridges are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution to missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental crowns and bridges?
Dental crowns are custom-fitted caps placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) between two crowns that are cemented on the adjacent teeth, effectively bridging the gap.
How do I know if I need a crown or a bridge?
You might need a crown if you have a damaged, cracked, or severely decayed tooth, or after a root canal treatment to protect the restored tooth. A bridge might be the right solution for you if you're looking to replace one or more missing teeth to restore functionality and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
Are crowns and bridges permanent?
While crowns and bridges are not considered "permanent" in the sense that they may eventually need to be replaced, they are a long-term solution. With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last many years.
How should I care for my crowns and bridges?
Good oral hygiene is essential. Brush twice daily, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent gum disease and tooth decay, which can affect your crowns and bridges. Regular dental checkups are also crucial for maintaining their condition.
Do crowns and bridges look like natural teeth?
Yes, crowns and bridges are designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth closely. They are made from materials like porcelain or ceramic, which mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel.
Is the process of getting crowns or bridges painful?
The procedure for placing crowns and bridges involves minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or soreness after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few days.
How long does it take to get a crown or a bridge?
Getting a crown or bridge usually requires two visits to the dentist. The first visit involves preparing the teeth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown or bridge. The second visit, usually a few weeks later, is when the permanent crown or bridge is fitted and adjusted if necessary.
Can a crowned tooth still get cavities?
Yes, a tooth with a crown can still get cavities at the gum line or between teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups are essential to prevent decay around your crown.
What should I do if my crown or bridge falls out or is damaged?
If your crown or bridge falls out or is damaged, contact PasaDental immediately. Avoid using the damaged crown or bridge to prevent further damage to your tooth or oral tissue. Your dentist will provide instructions on what to do next and will typically be able to reattach or replace the crown or bridge.
