Dentures, crowns, and bridges are all dental prostheses used to restore the function and aesthetics of a person's teeth.
- Dentures: Dentures are removable dental prostheses that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures: complete dentures, which are used when all teeth are missing, and partial dentures, which are used when some natural teeth remain.
- Crowns: A dental crown, sometimes called a cap, is a prosthetic tooth-like structure that is placed over an existing tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. It is often used to protect and strengthen a tooth that has been weakened by decay or trauma.
- Bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed dental prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored to adjacent teeth, called abutments, which are fitted with dental crowns. The false teeth, called pontics, are suspended between the abutments and fill in the gap left by the missing tooth.
Overall, these dental prostheses can help restore a person's smile, improve their ability to speak and chew, and maintain the alignment of their remaining teeth.
