Crowns and bridges are a type of fixed dental restoration process that is designed to replace the missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth.
Crowns, or dental-caps, are required when your teeth have a huge threat due to the cavity, and bridges are used when you need to replace one or more missing teeth.
Dental Crowns Overview
Both crowns and bridges are considered as a fixed dental restoration, unlike dentures which are removable. Crowns and bridges are bonded on the existing implants in such a way that can be removed only by a dentist.
Dental crowns were first introduced in the 19th century by the Etruscans civilization and they made crows using gold, bone, plus human teeth. Throughout the 19th century, the Etruscans invented advanced porcelain crowns and metal crowns in order to make the crowns very strong and long-lasting.
