What Are Crown & Bridges?

The science behind the rehabilitation of lost tooth structure or replacing a missing tooth is what we cover under our Crown and Bridge services.  Be it a single or multiple tooth loss, at Dr. Kochar’s you shall find the solution to replacement.
Crown and bridges are used to replace one or few teeth in the mouth. These are fixed onto natural teeth and once fixed can only be taken out by your dentist.
In short, to simplify the difference, Crown/Cap is a tooth like cover which is cemented over the existing tooth. Whereas, Bridge joins the crown with the artificial tooth/teeth, together the whole thing is fixed to the existing natural teeth acting as pillars for support of the entire structure.
