A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weak tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. While crowns protect individual teeth, bridges fill gaps caused by missing teeth.
