How crowns and bridges work

Traditionally, the teeth to be crowned are prepared by a dentist and records are given to a dental technician to fabricate the crown or bridge, which can then be inserted at another dental appointment.

The main advantages of the indirect method of tooth restoration include:

fabrication of the restoration without the need for having the patient in the chair
the utilization of materials that require special fabrication methods, such as casting
the use of materials that require intense heat to be processed into a restoration, such as gold and porcelain

The restorative materials used in indirect restorations possess superior mechanical properties than do the materials used for direct methods of tooth restoration, and thus produce a restoration of higher quality.

Dental bridges replace missing teeth and are fixed in place rather than removable by the patient. The abutment teeth are prepared to accommodate the bridge and restore the size and shape of the missing teeth in correct alignment and contact.
