A dental crown is more than just a cap—it’s a long-term solution to restore damaged teeth, protect weakened enamel, and bring back your natural smile. If you're in Bangalore and considering a crown, understanding your options, costs, and what to expect can help you make an informed decision.
What Are Dental Crowns and When Are They Needed?
Dental crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped coverings placed over a tooth to restore its strength, shape, size, and appearance.
They’re typically recommended when:
A tooth is cracked, broken, or severely worn down
After a root canal treatment
To cover a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth structure
For cosmetic enhancement (discolored or misshapen teeth)
To anchor a dental bridge
Types of Dental Crowns Available in Bangalore
At Dental Sanctuary, Indiranagar, we offer a range of dental crown materials to suit your needs and budget:
1. Zirconia Crowns
Durable, highly aesthetic, and metal-free—ideal for both front and back teeth. Zirconia crowns are popular for their strength and natural tooth-like appearance.
2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
A blend of strength and aesthetics. These crowns have a metal base with tooth-colored porcelain on top. They’re cost-effective and suitable for posterior teeth.
3. All-Ceramic or E-max Crowns
Excellent aesthetics and biocompatibility. These are ideal for front teeth where appearance matters most. E-max crowns are thinner and require minimal tooth reduction.
4. Metal Crowns
Made from base-metal alloys, these are very strong but rarely used today for visible teeth due to their metallic appearance.
