Dental Crowns in New Delhi
Dental crowns are a restorative treatment that helps strengthen and protect damaged or weakened teeth. At The Orchid Dental Clinic in New Delhi, we provide custom-fitted dental crowns that not only restore functionality but also improve the appearance of your smile.
What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, are a form of dental restoration that fully encases a tooth. Crowns are often recommended for teeth that are weakened due to decay, fracture, or after root canal treatment. They restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of the tooth.
Types of Dental Crowns
We offer different types of crowns to suit individual patient needs:
- Ceramic Crowns: Made from porcelain or zirconia, these crowns closely resemble natural teeth and are ideal for front teeth.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: These crowns combine the strength of metal with the natural look of porcelain, making them suitable for both front and back teeth.
- Metal Crowns: Often made from gold or other alloys, metal crowns are extremely durable and are typically used for molars.
- All-Resin Crowns: While less expensive, all-resin crowns are more prone to wear and tear and are often used as a temporary solution.
The Crown Placement Process
The crown placement process usually involves two appointments:
- Preparation: During your first visit, we will reshape your tooth and take an impression to create a custom crown. A temporary crown will be placed while your permanent one is being made.
- Final Fitting: Once your permanent crown is ready, we will remove the temporary one and securely bond the new crown to your tooth.
Benefits of Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer several benefits, including:
- Strength and Protection: Crowns provide a protective barrier for weakened or damaged teeth, restoring function and preventing further damage.
- Improved Appearance: Crowns can enhance the appearance of your teeth by covering discoloration or misshapen teeth.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last for many years, offering a durable solution for dental restoration.
