Dental Cap / Crown / Bridge treatment in Ahmedabad 

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a custom-designed restoration that covers and encases a damaged or weakened tooth. This versatile dental treatment serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing strength, protection, and an improved appearance to a compromised tooth.

When Might You Need a Dental Crown?

Severely Decayed Teeth: When decay has extensively damaged a tooth, a dental crown can restore its structure and prevent further deterioration.

Broken or Fractured Teeth: Dental crowns are an excellent solution for teeth with fractures or breaks, providing support and preventing further damage.

Large Fillings: Teeth with large fillings may benefit from crowns to strengthen the remaining tooth structure and protect against fractures.

Root Canal Treatment: Following a root canal procedure, a dental crown is often placed to restore the treated tooth's strength and functionality.

Cosmetic Enhancement: Dental crowns can also be used for cosmetic purposes, improving the appearance of discolored, misshapen, or poorly aligned teeth.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Consultation: During the initial consultation, our experienced dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the most appropriate solution.

Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is prepared by removing any decay or damaged portions. In some cases, additional structure may be removed to accommodate the crown.

Impressions: Impressions of the prepared tooth are taken to create a custom-fitted crown that matches your natural teeth in size, shape, and color.

Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being crafted, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.

Crown Placement: Once the permanent crown is ready, it is carefully placed and bonded to the tooth using dental cement.

Adjustment and Polishing: The crown is adjusted to ensure a proper bite and polished for a natural and comfortable fit.
