Dental crowns (ceramic and zirconia) in Malviya Nagar
A crown is a cap that covers a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape. The clinic works with ceramic and zirconia crowns.
Understanding dental crowns (ceramic and zirconia)
A dental crown fits over a tooth that is weak, broken, heavily filled or has had a root canal. It restores the tooth's shape, strength and appearance. Ceramic and zirconia are tooth-coloured materials that are chosen for their natural look and strength. Crowns can also anchor a bridge, which replaces a missing tooth by joining to the teeth on either side.
Signs it may be for you
A tooth with a large filling or a crack
A tooth that has had root canal treatment
A worn or misshapen tooth
A gap that a bridge could close
Your visit, step by step
An examination, and an explanation of whether a crown is the right choice
The tooth is shaped and a model is taken so the crown fits precisely
A temporary crown while the final one is made
A check of the fit and your bite when the crown is placed
The right material depends on the tooth and on you. Ask the dentist why a particular material is being suggested, and how to look after the crown so it lasts.
Treatment depends on the individual. Your dentist will examine you and explain whether this suits you. In a medical emergency, go to the nearest hospital.
Common questions
What is the difference between ceramic and zirconia?
Both are tooth-coloured. Zirconia is a very strong ceramic often chosen for back teeth. Your dentist will say which suits your tooth.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth is numbed while it is shaped, so you should not feel pain. Some sensitivity afterwards is possible.
How do I care for a crown?
Brush and floss as normal and keep up your check-ups. The dentist will give you specific advice.
