Dental Crowns & Bridges in Sainikpuri β Restore Your Smile Permanently
Custom-fitted crowns and bridges that restore full function, strength, and natural appearance β a permanent fixed solution for damaged or missing teeth.
A dental crown is a custom-made cap placed over a damaged, weakened, or discoloured tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It completely covers the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline.
A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It uses the natural teeth on either side of the gap (called abutment teeth) as anchors, with an artificial tooth (pontic) suspended between them. Both crowns and bridges are permanently fixed β they do not need to be removed.

When Do You Need a Crown or Bridge?
Dr. Deepak may recommend a crown or bridge if you have any of the following:

β οΈOne or more missing teeth leaving a gap in your smile

β οΈA discoloured or misshapen tooth that affects your smile aesthetics
β οΈA dental implant that requires a crown to complete the restoration
Types of Crowns & Bridges Available

Zirconia Crowns
The gold standard in modern dentistry. Extremely strong, metal-free, and tooth-coloured. Ideal for both front and back teeth.
π
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)
A ceramic outer layer over a metal core. Strong and natural-looking β a proven long-term solution for most cases.
π
All-Ceramic / Porcelain Crowns
The most aesthetic option β no metal means no dark gum line. Best suited for front teeth where appearance is the priority.
Extremely durable and wear-resistant. Usually recommended for back molars where strength matters most and visibility is low.
π
Fixed Dental Bridge
Replaces one or more missing teeth using neighbouring natural teeth as support. No surgery required β a faster alternative to implants.

Crown & Bridge Procedure β Step by Step
01
Consultation & X-Ray
Dr. Deepak examines the tooth, takes X-rays to assess bone and root health, and recommends the most suitable crown or bridge option.
02
Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is reshaped under local anaesthesia to create a snug fit for the crown. For a bridge, abutment teeth are prepared similarly.
03
Impression & Shade Match
A precise impression of your prepared teeth is taken and sent to the dental lab. The crown shade is matched exactly to your natural teeth.
04
Temporary Crown Fitted
A temporary crown protects the prepared tooth while your permanent restoration is being custom-fabricated in the lab (7β10 days).
05
Permanent Crown Cemented
The finished crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite, and appearance β then permanently bonded in place. Your restoration is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
A dental crown covers and protects a single existing tooth that is damaged, decayed, or weakened. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth β it uses crowns on the adjacent healthy teeth as anchors, with an artificial tooth suspended in between to fill the gap.
The treatment typically requires two visits over 7β10 days. The first visit involves tooth preparation and taking impressions; a temporary crown is fitted the same day. The second visit involves cementing the permanent, lab-fabricated crown or bridge once it is ready.
Yes. Each crown and bridge is custom-shaded to match the exact colour, size, and shape of your surrounding teeth. Modern zirconia and porcelain crowns are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth β even on close inspection.
The tooth preparation procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will feel no pain during treatment. Some mild sensitivity or soreness around the gum may occur for a few days after the procedure, which settles on its own.
Care for your crown or bridge exactly as you would natural teeth β brush twice daily, floss carefully around the margins and under the bridge pontic using floss threaders, and visit Dr. Deepak every 6 months for a check-up and professional clean. Avoid biting very hard objects directly on the crown.
The cost depends on the material chosen (zirconia, porcelain, PFM, or metal) and the number of teeth involved. Zirconia crowns are priced higher than metal options but offer the best aesthetics and longevity. Visit The Urban Smile or call +91 93980 07382 for a detailed consultation and personalised quote.
