A dental crown, also known as a dental cap, is a durable, tooth-shaped cover that fits over a damaged tooth, fully encasing it to restore its function and appearance. Crowns are designed to protect weak teeth from further damage, improve the aesthetics of a tooth, and restore normal chewing function.
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are typically made of porcelain or composite resin and are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, stained, chipped, misaligned, or have other cosmetic issues.

Some reasons you may need a veneers are; discolored or stained teeth, chipped or broken tooth, worn down teeth, gaps between teeth, misaligned or uneven teeth, irregularly shaped tooth, cosmetic enhancements.
A dental bridge is a dental restoration that is used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between two healthy teeth or dental implants. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are held in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent teeth or implants.
The purpose of a dental bridge is to restore the appearance and function of your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak properly, maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth into the gap left by the missing tooth.
