Crown, bridge, or implant? They are not interchangeable, and the difference comes down to what is left.
A crown is for a tooth that is still there but weakened, fractured, or extensively damaged. It restores strength, shape, and function.
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth so you can chew comfortably again, using the healthy teeth on either side for support.
An implant replaces the missing tooth and its root, standing on its own without relying on the teeth beside it.
The right answer depends on your bone, your bite, and the health of the teeth around the gap, which is exactly what a consultation is for. Which of the three have you been told you need?
