What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown (also called a "cap") is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are recommended when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but doesn't need to be extracted. They protect and strengthen tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.

What are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Bridges literally "bridge" the gap created by missing teeth, restoring your ability to chew properly and preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of position.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM)

Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain. Ideal for back teeth where strength is crucial, while maintaining a natural appearance.

All-Ceramic / All-Porcelain

Provide the best natural color match and are ideal for front teeth. Perfect for patients with metal allergies who want the most aesthetic result.

Zirconia Crowns

Extremely strong and durable with excellent aesthetics. Zirconia crowns are metal-free, biocompatible, and can withstand heavy biting forces, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.

Metal Crowns (Gold/Alloys)

Highly durable and resistant to wear. Requires minimal tooth removal. Often recommended for back molars where strength is priority over aesthetics.

When Do You Need a Crown?

Benefits of Dental Crowns and Bridges

The Crown and Bridge Procedure

  1. Examination and Preparation – X-rays and examination to assess the tooth/teeth. The tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown.
  2. Impressions – Detailed impressions taken of your teeth to create a precise mold for the laboratory.
  3. Temporary Crown/Bridge – A temporary restoration is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent one is being made.
  4. Fabrication – Your custom crown or bridge is crafted by skilled technicians using high-quality materials (typically 1-2 weeks).
  5. Placement – The temporary is removed and the permanent crown or bridge is checked for fit, color, and bite, then cemented into place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weak teeth, restore broken teeth, cover dental implants, or support teeth with large fillings.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants, literally "bridging" the gap created by missing teeth.
How long do dental crowns and bridges last?
With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years or longer. Their longevity depends on the material used, oral hygiene habits, and regular dental checkups. Avoiding hard foods and not grinding teeth helps extend their lifespan.
What types of crowns are available?
We offer several types of crowns including porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-ceramic or all-porcelain (for best aesthetics), zirconia (high strength and natural look), and metal crowns (gold or other alloys). Our dentists will recommend the best type based on your specific needs and budget.
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the preparation. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this is temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How much do crowns and bridges cost in Kathmandu?
The cost varies depending on the material chosen (porcelain, zirconia, metal), the number of teeth involved, and complexity of the case. At Perfect Dental Care Center, we offer competitive pricing and various options to fit different budgets. Contact us for a detailed estimate.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Care for crowns and bridges like natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss daily (use special floss threaders for bridges), avoid chewing hard foods or ice, and visit your dentist regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.
Can a crowned tooth get cavities?
Yes, decay can still occur at the edge of the crown where it meets the gum line. Proper oral hygiene is essential to prevent decay and gum disease around crowned teeth. Regular dental visits help detect any issues early.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used for damaged or weakened teeth. A veneer only covers the front surface and is primarily for cosmetic improvements. Crowns provide more structural support, while veneers are more conservative.
How many visits are needed for a crown or bridge?
Typically, two visits are required. The first visit involves preparing the tooth, taking impressions, and placing a temporary crown or bridge. The second visit (usually 1-2 weeks later) involves fitting and cementing the permanent restoration.
