Dental crowns and bridges are ways that we can restore teeth to their normal function. We give them basically a solid basis for chewing again. A bridge replaces teeth. It is literally a bridge across a space that gives you back the missing thing that you really need for proper function. Crowns and bridges are often used to restore the shape of the teeth, but also, their function and their cosmetic appearance.
It can improve your ability to chew, but also to smile. And it is very important for self-esteem and our image of ourself to have teeth that we think are attractive. When you have a tooth that has perhaps made it to the point of crumbling or being missing a large amount, we have the ability to restore it to its normal size, and shape, and function using a dental crown. It is effectively resurfacing the tooth with a new hard outer shell that gives it its function back.
