Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n\n  <ul class=\"list-style\">\n    <li><strong>Dental  Crown:<\/strong> A dental crown  is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore  its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are often used to protect a  tooth after a root canal, strengthen a cracked tooth, or cover a tooth with a  large filling.<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Dental  Bridge:<\/strong> A dental bridge  is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more dental  crowns on either side of the gap, with a false tooth (pontic) in between. The  crowns are placed on the adjacent healthy teeth, and the pontic fills the space  left by the missing tooth.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <h2>The process typically involves:<\/h2>\n\n  <ul class=\"list-style\">\n    <li>Preparing the teeth: The teeth receiving the crowns are reshaped to accommodate the crowns.<\/li>\n    <li>Impressions: Impressions are taken to create accurate molds of the prepared teeth and the surrounding area.<\/li>\n    <li>Temporary crowns or bridges: Temporary restorations are placed while the permanent ones are being fabricated.<\/li>\n    <li>Permanent placement: Once the permanent crowns or bridge is ready, they are cemented in place.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p>Crown and bridge work can restore both  function and aesthetics to your smile, helping you maintain proper bite and  chewing abilities while improving your overall appearance. Your dentist will  assess your oral health and determine if crown and bridge work is the best  option for your specific situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crown and bridge work is a common dental restoration technique used to replace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[16,20,18,15],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crown-and-bridge","tag-crown-and-bridge","tag-dental-bridge","tag-dental-crown","tag-dental-crowns-and-bridges"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions\/32"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drsunaina32dentalcare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
