A crown is a tooth-shaped cover that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to protect it and restore its appearance and function. A bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are attached to crowns that are placed on the surrounding healthy teeth.

Here are the steps involved in a crown and bridge treatment:

Preparation: The dentist will prepare the damaged or decayed tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to make room for the crown.

Impressions: The dentist will take impressions of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth to create a custom crown and bridge.

Temporary Crown: The dentist will place a temporary crown on the prepared tooth while the permanent crown and bridge are being made.

Fabrication: The dental laboratory will fabricate the custom crown and bridge based on the impressions taken by the dentist.

Placement: The dentist will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent crown and bridge. The dentist will adjust the crown and bridge for a comfortable and proper fit.

Cementation: The dentist will permanently cement the crown and bridge in place.

A crown and bridge treatment can restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth and improve oral health. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced dental professional to ensure the best outcome for the treatment.
