What crowns & bridges involves

A crown is a cap that covers and protects a weak or root-treated tooth. A bridge joins crowns together to fill the gap left by a missing tooth, anchored to the teeth either side. We offer metal-ceramic, full ceramic and zirconia.

How the treatment goes

  1. PreparationThe tooth is shaped to make room for the crown.
  2. Impression and shadeWe record the shape and match the shade to your natural teeth.
  3. Temporary crownYou leave with a temporary cap while the lab builds the permanent one.
  4. Fitting and cementingThe final crown is checked against your bite and cemented.

Types of crown

The material changes the cost, the strength and how closely it matches your own teeth. We will show you the options for your tooth and tell you which one we would choose — but the decision is yours.

Zirconia crown

Milled from a solid block of zirconia. The strongest tooth-coloured option there is, completely metal-free, and it will not show a dark line at the gum as the gum recedes.

Best for: Front teeth, and anyone who wants strength and appearance together

All-ceramic / E-max crown

Layered ceramic that passes light almost the way enamel does, so it is the hardest crown to spot as artificial. A little less strong than zirconia under heavy chewing.

Best for: Single front teeth where the match has to be invisible

Metal-ceramic (PFM) crown

A metal core with ceramic baked over it. Proven over decades and the most economical of the tooth-coloured crowns, though a faint dark margin can appear at the gumline over the years.

Best for: Back teeth, and multi-tooth bridges

Full metal crown

Cast entirely in metal, so it needs the least tooth trimmed away and is practically unbreakable. It does not match the tooth colour, which limits where it makes sense.

Best for: Out-of-sight molars, and heavy grinders

Stainless steel crown

A pre-formed cap fitted in one appointment to protect a badly decayed milk tooth until it falls out naturally.

Best for: Children’s back milk teeth

Temporary crown

An acrylic cap that protects the prepared tooth and keeps it looking normal in the days before the permanent crown comes back from the lab. Included as part of the treatment.

Best for: Every patient, between the preparation and fitting visits

Aftercare

After your crowns & bridges

  • Avoid very hard or sticky food on the temporary crown.
  • Clean under a bridge daily with a floss threader or interdental brush.
  • A well-cared-for crown lasts ten to fifteen years or more.
  • If the crown feels high when you bite, come back for an adjustment.

If pain or bleeding gets worse rather than better, call +91 94879 39179 straight away — do not wait for the next appointment.

Questions

Crowns & Bridges — your questions answered

Which is better — zirconia or metal-ceramic?
Zirconia is stronger, entirely metal-free and looks more natural, which makes it the usual choice for front teeth. Metal-ceramic is proven and costs less, and works well for back teeth. We recommend based on the tooth position and your budget.
How long does a crown last?
Ten to fifteen years is typical, and often much longer with good cleaning and six-monthly check-ups. What usually fails is decay at the margin, not the crown itself — so cleaning around it matters.
Bridge or implant for a missing tooth?
A bridge is quicker and costs less, but requires trimming the healthy teeth either side. An implant costs more and takes months, but leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched. If the adjacent teeth are already crowned, a bridge often makes more sense.
Does getting a crown hurt?
No. The tooth is numbed for the preparation appointment, and fitting the final crown is usually painless enough not to need anaesthesia at all.
