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 fit DMLS, premium metal and zirconia — and we will tell you which one suits your bite rather than selling you the most expensive.

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 the crown matches your own teeth. These are the three we fit, and what Dr. Brindha will tell you about each one before you decide.

DMLS crown & bridge — Crowns & Bridges at Clear Dental Care, Perambalur
Dr. Brindha’s recommendation

DMLS crown & bridge

The coping is laser-sintered from metal powder rather than cast by hand, so it fits the prepared tooth far more precisely than a conventional metal-ceramic crown, with ceramic layered over it for appearance. Precise fit is what keeps decay out at the margin — which is what actually ends a crown’s life.

Best for: Almost every case — front or back, single crown or a multi-tooth bridge

Premium metal crown — Crowns & Bridges at Clear Dental Care, Perambalur

Premium metal crown

Cast entirely in metal. It needs the least healthy tooth trimmed away of any crown, and it is practically unbreakable under the heaviest chewing. It does not match the tooth colour, which is the only real reason not to use one.

Best for: Out-of-sight back molars, and anyone who grinds heavily

Zirconia crown — Crowns & Bridges at Clear Dental Care, Perambalur
Force limits apply

Zirconia crown

Milled from a solid block of zirconia, metal-free and a good colour match. It is the option we place with a caution: under heavy or uneven biting force it can chip or fracture, and unlike a layered crown it cannot simply be repaired in the mouth. If you grind your teeth or bite hard on that side, we will steer you to DMLS instead.

Best for: Front teeth and light-to-normal bites, where appearance matters most

Aftercare

After your crowns & bridges

  • Avoid very hard or sticky food on the temporary crown while the permanent one is being made.
  • 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 you have a zirconia crown, do not use it to crack nuts, ice or betel nut — it can fracture under that force.
  • 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 crown does Dr. Brindha recommend?
DMLS, in most cases. The laser-sintered coping fits the prepared tooth more precisely than a hand-cast one, and a precise margin is what keeps decay from creeping back underneath — which is what usually ends a crown’s life, not the crown breaking.
Is there anything I cannot do with a zirconia crown?
Yes, and this is worth knowing before you choose it. Zirconia does not tolerate heavy or uneven biting force well — it can chip or fracture, and it cannot be repaired in the mouth the way a layered crown can. If you grind your teeth, crack nuts or chew betel nut on that side, we will fit DMLS instead.
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.
