Dental Crowns

At Deekshu Dental Clinic, we recognize that a damaged or severely decayed tooth requires a robust, long-lasting restoration. Dental Crowns are our versatile and effective solution for restoring the structural integrity and aesthetic appearance of weakened teeth. Our team of experienced specialists ensures that every crown provides both superior functionality and a perfectly natural appearance.

We achieve this by using All-Ceramic materials, which perfectly mimic the translucency of natural enamel. This meticulous approach guarantees a restoration that is both durable and seamlessly blended into your smile.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are fully metal-free, making them an ideal, biocompatible option for sensitive patients. These restorations use high-grade ceramic materials to fully rebuild damaged teeth, ensuring marginal integrity, a perfect seal, and excellent long-term gum health.

Crucially, the ceramic material perfectly mimics the translucency of natural enamel, eliminating the dark line often seen at the gumline of PFM crowns. This dedication to material purity and precision ensures a restoration that is both functionally superior and aesthetically flawless.

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns, fabricated from a high-tech ceramic, combine the durability of traditional materials with superior natural looks. They are the ideal modern solution for both front and back teeth, meeting high aesthetic needs. Zirconia offers unmatched chip resistance while being fully biocompatible for patient health.

Its exceptional strength means it can withstand the heavy biting forces of back molars without compromising on the natural translucency required for front teeth. This advanced material provides the perfect fusion of lifelong function and aesthetic perfection.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) crowns offer an important, time-tested compromise, blending the strength of a durable metal base with an attractive porcelain exterior. This foundational metal core provides exceptional structural rigidity and resistance to fracture, making PFM crowns highly reliable for restoring posterior (back) teeth where biting forces are maximal.

While the porcelain layer offers good aesthetics, the metal base can sometimes be visible as a dark line at the gum margin, particularly if gums recede over time. Nevertheless, PFM crowns remain a cost-effective and resilient choice for achieving a functional, aesthetically improved smile.

All-Ceramic Crowns

All-Ceramic crowns are the pinnacle of modern dentistry, offering superior light reflection and unparalleled aesthetic results. Fabricated using advanced CAD/CAM technology, they achieve incredible marginal accuracy and perfect integration with the surrounding gum tissue, resulting in a beautiful finish.

Because they are completely metal-free, they eliminate the risk of a dark line at the gumline, ensuring a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth. This technological precision ensures a perfect fit, optimal gum health, and lifelong beauty.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are utilized widely for their great outstanding strength, especially when used in multi-unit dental bridges. They are completely metal-free and highly biocompatible, guaranteeing virtually no gum irritation or potential patient allergic reaction.

Their inherent durability makes them the ideal choice for withstanding heavy chewing forces in the posterior mouth. This combination of robustness and tissue friendliness ensures both the longevity of the restoration and the long-term health of the surrounding gum tissue.

FAQ

Your Guide to Dental Crowns for Restoration and Strength

What is a dental crown and when is one necessary?
A dental crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, sitting right at the gum line. A crown is necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, has a large filling that compromises its strength, is cracked or broken, or when it needs protection after a root canal procedure.
What materials are dental crowns made from?
Deekshu Dental offers crowns made from various materials to suit different needs and aesthetic preferences. The main options include Porcelain or Ceramic (known for excellent aesthetics and natural appearance), Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) (offering strength and good aesthetics), and Zirconia (highly durable, strong, and increasingly popular for its natural look).
How many appointments does it take to get a dental crown?
Typically, getting a traditional dental crown requires two appointments over the course of a week or two. The first appointment involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, and fitting a temporary crown. The second appointment is for permanently cementing the final, custom-fabricated crown once it is received back from the dental lab.
Is the process of preparing a tooth for a crown painful?
The process of preparing the tooth (shaping it to accommodate the crown) is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during the procedure. It is normal to experience some temporary sensitivity or mild discomfort after the anesthesia wears off, but this can usually be managed effectively with over-the-counter pain relievers.
What are the key advantages of Zirconia crowns?
Zirconia crowns are highly favored for their combination of strength and beauty. They are exceptionally durable and resistant to cracking or chipping, making them ideal for back teeth (molars). Furthermore, Zirconia is biocompatible and offers a highly aesthetic, tooth-colored appearance without the dark line often associated with older metal-based crowns.
