The root canal question was answered previously. It is where the nerve of a tooth is taken out and it is replaced by plastic. A crown is a tooth made out of porcelain and sometimes metal. It goes over your natural tooth after it is shaved down to a peg. A bridge is used to replaced missing teeth. The two adjacent teeth are shaved to pegs and the lab makes a bridge with the missing teeth and the shaved teeth. The bridge is then cemented with a very strong cement. The result is natural looking teeth and no more missing teeth. See the link below for more info.
I am going to have dental work done, what is a root canal, a crown and a bridge? How are they attached?
I can explain all to you but its easier to do a search on your pc.
