What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed on a tooth that’s damaged, decayed, or weakened. It helps bring the tooth back to its normal shape, size, strength, and look. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatments, to support dental bridges, or when a tooth is too damaged for a regular filling.
At Evoq, we use top-tier materials, including:
- Zirconia Crowns – Known for their strength and natural look.
- DMLS Crowns – Built using high-tech laser-sintering for superior precision.
- Digital Temporaries – Designed with CAD/CAM for accurate and comfortable temporary protection.
These crowns are crafted to blend in with your natural teeth for long-lasting strength and aesthetics.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” gap using surrounding teeth or implants as support. A bridge includes:
- Abutment teeth – the support teeth capped with crowns.
- Pontics – the artificial teeth that fill the gap.
Evoq’s bridges are made from premium materials like zirconia and DMLS, offering long-term stability and a natural appearance. We provide all major types—from traditional to implant-supported—depending on your needs.

Crowns vs. Bridges – What’s the Difference?
Understanding the distinction between dental crowns and bridges is essential:
| Feature | Dental Crown | Dental Bridge |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Restores a single tooth | Replaces one or more missing teeth |
| Structure | A single cap over a tooth | Multiple units (crown + pontic(s)) |
| Support | Covers and protects one tooth | Anchored to nearby teeth or implants |
| Used For | Broken, weak, or post-root canal teeth | Gaps from missing teeth |
