Dental Crowns & Bridges
Restore the strength, beauty, and natural function of your teeth.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” placed over a damaged tooth. It is used to restore a tooth that has:
• A large or deep cavity that cannot be repaired with a filling
• A fractured or chipped tooth from an accident
• A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment and has little natural structure left
Crowns can be made from various materials such as ceramic, porcelain, zirconia, metal, and more. Each material offers different levels of strength, aesthetics, and suitability depending on the tooth’s position and the patient’s needs.
What to Consider Before Getting a Crown or Bridge
✔ 1. Oral health and tooth condition
Your dentist will check for decay, root issues, and gum condition. Some cases may require root canal therapy or gum treatment before placing a crown.
✔ 2. Material selection
Each material offers different benefits:
• Ceramic / Porcelain: Natural tooth-like color, ideal for front teeth
• Zirconia: Highly durable and aesthetic, suitable for both front and back teeth
• Metal: Very strong and cost-effective
✔ 3. Longevity
Crowns and bridges typically last 7–10 years, or longer with proper care.
✔ 4. Bite and chewing habits
The position of the tooth and your bite pattern help determine the best material and crown design.
✔ 5. Budget
Costs vary based on material, technique, and dentist expertise. Be sure to discuss all options beforehand.
✔ 6. Aftercare
Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard foods, and visit your dentist every 6 months for check-ups.
