We use crowns for teeth that are severely damaged or that have been previously restored with crowns, that need to be replaced. Otherwise, we use techniques that are superior and less invasive as compared to crowns, like inlays and onlays (partial crowns).
A bridge is a type of crown that can be done to replace a missing tooth. This is again a procedure that we don’t do very often nowadays, because dental implantology allows us to replace a missing tooth without invasively treating the adjacent teeth.
