A crown is a covering
that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original
shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens the remaining tooth
structure. This type of bridge is generally made of porcelain or
metal and is cemented permanently to natural teeth adjacent to the
missing tooth site. The benefit of this type of bridge is that it is
fixed (not removable) and it is very sturdy. The disadvantage is
that in order to create a fixed appliance, two healthy, natural
teeth will have to be crowned (capped) to hold the bridge in place.
