What Are Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are long-lasting dental restorations used to repair damaged or missing teeth. Both are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. Whether you’re dealing with a severely decayed tooth or a gap from a lost tooth, these prosthetic options can restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

When You Might Need a Crown or Bridge
Crowns are typically recommended for:
- Teeth that have large fillings and little natural structure left
- Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment
- Cracked, broken, or severely worn-down teeth
- Cosmetic improvements (e.g., discoloration)
Bridges are ideal if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth in a row
- Want a non-removable alternative to dentures
- Need to prevent nearby teeth from shifting due to a gap
Your Crown and Bridges Appointment
At Klinik Pergigian Shakirin, we follow a step-by-step process to ensure your crown and bridges are functional, natural-looking, and suitable for you.
Examination
Your dentist will examine your teeth, take X-rays (if necessary), and discuss the best restoration option for your needs. If you have tooth decay or infection, this will be treated first.
Preparation
For a crown, the tooth will be shaped and cleaned to fit the cap. For a bridge, the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) will be prepared to hold the crowns.
Impression
An impression or 3D scan is taken to design your custom crown or bridge. You’ll receive a temporary version to protect the area while waiting for your permanent one.
Fitting
Once your crown or bridge is ready (usually within 1–2 weeks), it will be securely cemented into place and adjusted for a perfect fit. We will help with any pain and discomfort afterwards.

FAQ on Dental Crowns and Bridges
Frequently Asked Questions
A crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring onto surrounding natural teeth or implants.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, they can last 10 to 15 years or longer. The material used and your oral habits (e.g. grinding, biting hard foods) also affect longevity.
Most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and you may feel some pressure during the procedure. Mild soreness after the appointment is normal and temporary.
Typically 2 visits are needed:
- First visit: tooth preparation, impressions, and fitting a temporary crown/bridge
- Second visit: placement and adjustment of the permanent crown or bridge
Usually 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the lab’s turnaround time. During this period, avoid sticky or hard foods, and chew on the opposite side of your mouth.
