What is a Dental Crown?
A Dental Crown, also known as a cap, is a way to restore and protect a tooth that has chipped, fractured off, has extensive decay, or has received a root canal treatment. Crowns help to restore the teeth to their ideal shape and function when a tooth has too much of its structure missing that it will not support a composite filling.
Dental Crowns have evolved over the years. They used to be made primarily of gold, but now we have all-porcelain crowns that provide more strength and better esthetics. We use crowns for a variety of reasons, including:
- To provide strength and structure to a tooth that is too fragile for a filling
- To repair a tooth that has been badly damaged by decay or trauma
- As the final step in placing a dental implant or root canal therapy
- To make a dental bridge
- As part of a smile makeover plan
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A Dental Bridge can be an optimal choice to replace one or more missing teeth. It requires a supporting tooth on either side of the space to hold the bridge. In simple terms, a Dental Bridge is three or more crowns fused together side by side — the middle crowns replace the missing teeth.
Types of Crowns & Bridges
There are different types of materials and porcelains available for Dental Crowns and Bridges, ranging from more esthetic layered porcelain crowns to highly durable zirconia crowns and hybrids that have a metal substructure. Dr. Maria Bustamante’s extensive training and knowledge will ensure that the material of choice fits your dental, cosmetic, and functional needs.

DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CINCINNATI, OH: AN ALTERNATIVE CHOICE TO A DENTAL BRIDGE
If you live in or around Downtown Cincinnati and are weighing your options to replace a missing tooth, consider whether a bridge or an implant would best suit your needs. Here is how to know which one might be the better choice:
- If the teeth on either side of the space need crowns for protection, then a dental bridge is a viable option to protect the supporting teeth and replace the missing tooth.
- If the two teeth on either side don’t have or need any restorations in them, then a dental implant might just be a better option and is, in fact, the standard of care nowadays.
The advantages of a dental implant over a bridge are:
- An implant looks, feels, and functions more like a natural tooth.
- The natural structure of the teeth adjacent to the space is preserved since the teeth are not reshaped for support.
- A potential food trap under a dental bridge is eliminated.
- An implant is essentially a permanent solution, whereas a bridge often needs replacement in 12-20 years or if the supporting teeth get decay.
