Dental Crowns in Gurgaon

Dental crowns are caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, strength, and appearance. They protect the natural tooth underneath, preventing further issues like decay or injury, while blending in with your other teeth for a natural look.

At Dental Krafts in Gurgaon, we provide top-quality dental crowns to meet your needs. Our experienced team uses the latest methods to ensure your crown fits perfectly, offering strong, lasting protection. Whether you need one tooth fixed or several, we’re here to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.

What are the Types of Dental Crowns?

Types of dental Crowns depend on the materials used, which are as follows:

Porcelain Crowns: Dentists favoured these for their natural appearance and for restoring front teeth due to their biocompatibility. Despite being less robust than metal crowns, they are an excellent choice, especially for individuals with bruxism.
Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns: Referred to as PFM, these crowns blend durability with the advantages of both metal and porcelain. While cost-effective, there may be better choices for individuals with a teeth-clenching habit.
All Ceramic Crowns: These are ideal for individuals allergic to metals. Despite the drawback of potential wear on opposing teeth, dentists often prefer this material for front teeth due to its natural appearance.
Gold Crowns: These are strong durable, well-suited for restoring natural teeth at the back, boasting a low wear rate. However, they do not mimic the appearance of natural teeth, making them more suitable for covering back molars.
Zirconia Crowns: Crafted from zirconium, these dental crowns exhibit longevity, strength, and biocompatibility. Notably, these crowns offer the advantage of easy shaping without waiting for confirmation from the dental laboratory.

The crowns' choice depends on the damage's extent and the procedure's purpose.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown Treatment?

Several reasons or causes are mentioned:

Broken old tooth filling
A Weak natural tooth
To hold dental bridges in place
To cover a dental implant
Severely discolored teeth
Restoration of a broken tooth

Let our dental experts in Gurgaon evaluate the health condition, assess in-depth and understand the requirements for temporary or permanent dental crowns.

Process of Placing a Permanent or Temporary Crown?

Dental Krafts uses a systematic approach to offer customized dental crown services in Gurgaon as per requirement.

Preliminary Inspection: Experts assess your mouth, conduct X-ray scans, and check for decay, misalignment, infection, or cavities. Root canal treatment may be necessary.
Initial Preparation of the Tooth: After discussing crown options, the dentist readies the decayed tooth by filing its top and side surfaces, creating space for crown insertion. Local anesthesia may be used. The extent of material removal depends on the crown material; metal crowns need less space, so filing is adjusted accordingly.
Creating Impression of the Primary Tooth: An impression, made with putty or a digital scanner, is sent to the dental lab for manufacturing the crown, a process taking a minimum of 3 weeks. It is crucial to cover the entire tooth and safeguard the natural enamel. In the interim, a temporary dental crown is provided.
Fitment of Crown on the Dental Implant or Tooth: Temporary crowns safeguard teeth until permanent ones are available but must be adequately removed for the final step. The dentist evaluates the fit and colour of the new crown, using local anesthesia before its permanent cementing, ensuring a natural look, especially for ceramic and porcelain crowns.

What are Post-care Tips for Dental Crowns?

At Dental Krafts, our appointment sessions cover pre-procedure discussions, temporary restoration recommendations, details on crown types, cracked tooth care, assessment for permanent crown need, and selecting suitable crown types. We also provide aftercare tips for proper crown maintenance. Patients should follow professional instructions for caring for temporary and permanent crowns.

To care for temporary crowns:

Use dental floss by sliding, not lifting, between the crown and adjacent teeth.
Initially, chew using opposing teeth.
Maintain regular cleaning to remove debris around the crown.
Avoid hard foods to prevent crown loosening.
If the crown falls, contact the dentist promptly.
If loose, avoid wearing it at night.
Whether zirconia or another type, proper care is crucial for temporary caps.

To Care For Permanent Crowns:

For metal or resin crowns, aftercare is vital. Our experts at Dental Krafts recommend generic tips for permanent traditional crowns:

Avoid sticky foods temporarily.
Clean the gum line carefully.
Gargle with warm salt water in the first week.
Brush with fluoride toothpaste at least twice daily.
If you notice a chipped crown, promptly visit the dental office or contact us for a swift appointment. Follow these tips for maintenance and reach out to our experts as needed.

Dental crowns are like caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, size, strength, and look. They're needed when teeth have big fillings, extensive decay, fractures, or after root canal treatment.

Dental Krafts offers different crown materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM). Each has its benefits, and our dentists will help you choose the best one.

The lifespan of dental crowns varies based on materials, oral hygiene, and biting forces. Generally, they can last between 5 to 15 years or even more with good care.

It's usually a two-visit process. First, we prepare the tooth by removing decay and taking impressions for a custom crown. Then, we fit a temporary crown. During the second visit, we place the permanent crown.
