What it is
A crown caps a weakened tooth; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Both are made in metal-free zirconia or layered ceramic.
Who needs it
Patients with root-treated teeth, large fillings, fractured teeth, or a single missing tooth with healthy neighbours.

Frequently asked questions
Zirconia or metal-ceramic?
