A broken, chipped, or missing tooth can affect more than just your smile—it can impact your confidence, ability to chew, and overall oral health. Fortunately, dental crowns and bridges offer a reliable, long-lasting solution to restore both the function and aesthetics of your teeth.
At Maryam Dental Clinic, located at 7B, Haji Ln, Entally, Kolkata, West Bengal 700014, Dr. Saba Nasreen provides expert care in dental crowns and bridges to help you regain your natural smile with confidence.
Whether you’re dealing with a damaged tooth or missing teeth, this blog explains everything you need to know about crowns and bridges—how they work, why you may need them, and how Dr. Saba Nasreen can help.
What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
🔹 Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weak tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used when a tooth is:
- Severely decayed
- Cracked or chipped
- Worn down
- After root canal treatment
- To cover a dental implant
Crowns are custom-made to match your natural tooth color and are cemented permanently.
🔹 Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are held in place by crowns on adjacent natural teeth or implants. A bridge literally “bridges the gap” between your teeth and restores your ability to chew and speak normally.
Common Problems Solved by Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns and bridges are more than cosmetic solutions—they solve real oral health issues. Here’s how they help:
✅ Strengthen Damaged Teeth
If a tooth is too weak to withstand pressure from chewing, a crown provides reinforcement and prevents further breakage.
✅ Replace Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can cause your bite to shift, create difficulty in speaking, and affect digestion. Bridges fill the gaps and restore functionality.
✅ Improve Aesthetics
Crowns and bridges are designed to match the color and contour of your natural teeth, improving your smile and facial appearance.
✅ Prevent Tooth Misalignment
When a tooth is missing, neighboring teeth can shift, leading to misalignment. A bridge keeps your bite balanced and stable.

Step-by-Step Process of Getting Dental Crowns & Bridges
Wondering what to expect? Here’s how the procedure works at Maryam Dental Clinic:
Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
Dr. Saba Nasreen will examine your teeth, take digital X-rays if needed, and determine the best solution—crown, bridge, or both.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
For crowns, the affected tooth is reshaped to make room for the crown. For bridges, the supporting teeth (abutments) are prepared to hold the bridge in place.
Step 3: Impressions
An impression of your teeth is taken to design your custom-fitted crown or bridge.
Step 4: Temporary Crown/Bridge
A temporary crown or bridge is placed while your permanent restoration is being fabricated.
Step 5: Final Placement
Once ready, your crown or bridge is adjusted for fit, color, and comfort before being permanently cemented.
