The Difference Between Crowns & Bridges
Most people have heard of dental crowns and dental bridges, but not everyone is familiar with what distinguishes these two procedures. Both reference prosthetic devices that are permanently placed in your mouth to either protect existing teeth or to replace missing or extracted teeth. Our San Antonio dentist specializes in both crowns and bridges and will evaluate your situation, recommending the treatment that is best for you.
Typically, a crown is placed over an existing tooth that has been damaged, protecting it from further decay or damage. This is often used in root canals or to repair a chipped or otherwise damaged tooth, restoring its functionality and avoiding extraction. Bridges are commonly used when one or more teeth are missing or must be extracted, leaving gaps. The bridge helps maintain the integrity of your teeth overall and preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting. A prosthetic tooth is placed in the place of the original tooth and then anchored to the surrounding teeth.
A crown or bridge might be recommended in the following situations:
- Root canal
- Chipped or otherwise damaged teeth
- Extensive fillings that require extra support
- Missing or extracted teeth
- Preventing existing teeth from shifting or rotating
- Maintaining your bite structure and improve chewing
- Cosmetic enhancement

We had our first visit at Shaenfield Family Dental for my three kids’ cleanings. They made all of the kids feel comfortable and were very down to Earth. They did very 4 year old friendly x-rays and praised all the kids for being helpful and cooperative. Dr. Hasheem recommended us to a pediatric oral surgeon down the street for my six year old who needs more work involving anesthesia. We’ll definitely be routine clients!- Shelbie W
