Trusted care by Dr. Radhika, Prosthodontist & Oral Implantologist
Understanding Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its function and appearance. Crowns can strengthen cracked, broken or root-canal-treated teeth and last 5–15 years with proper care. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a fixed appliance anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth (or implants). Bridges not only restore chewing and speech, they prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
Types of Crowns & Bridges
Types of Crowns:
Metal crowns – exceptionally durable; ideal for back teeth; metallic colour is visible.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) – combines metal strength with a tooth-coloured porcelain exterior.
Pressed ceramic / all-ceramic / zirconia – highly aesthetic and metal-free; good for people with metal allergies.
Same-day crowns – CAD/CAM-milled from ceramic while you wait.
Our Approach
Our inlay and onlay process combines precision, comfort, and expertise. The procedure typically involves two appointments: first for preparation and impressions, then for final placement. Each step is carefully executed with your comfort and optimal results in mind.
Comprehensive Assessment
We start with a detailed exam and digital imaging to diagnose damage or tooth loss and discuss whether a crown, bridge or implant is best for you.
Personalised Plan
We customise your treatment, explain material options (metal, porcelain, zirconia) and design a plan that fits your goals, lifestyle and budget.
Tooth Preparation
For crowns and bridges, we gently reshape the tooth (or teeth) and place a temporary restoration to protect it while your custom piece is crafted.
Precision Impressions
We take digital or physical impressions and partner with master technicians to fabricate a crown or bridge that matches your bite and smile.
Custom Fabrication & Fitting
Once your restoration is ready, we carefully check the fit, colour and bite before bonding it securely in place.
Ongoing Care
We provide after-care instructions to ensure longevity, including oral hygiene tips, dietary advice and regular check-ups.
