Dental Crowns (with warranty)

A crown is a full tooth cover restoration that is placed over a cracked, broken, root filled or a heavily filled tooth to protect the tooth against fracture. Some people refer to dental crowns as caps. Dental crowns are similar in shape and shade to dental veneers except that crowns cover all the surfaces of a tooth whereas veneers only cover the visible outside surface of the tooth.

Few crowns with us are available with warranty ranging from 5 years to 15 years depending on the type of crown. So go for the best available!!

What types of crowns are available?

All Ceramic Crown

(6 years warranty) Cosmetically these crowns look the best and are usually indicated for front teeth. These crowns have no grey metal inside them, so if in time the gum recedes, there will be no grey metal margin on show around the crown. Strength wise, depending on the type of the crown, most of the ceramic crowns are as strong as the conventional metal containing crowns. An example of this would be Zirconium containing crowns that have a tooth coloured Zirconium core with porcelain on top

Metal Ceramic Crown

Metal ceramic crowns(10 years warranty) These crowns have a metal core inside and porcelain bonded to their outside. The core inside can be made from precious, semi-precious or non-precious metals and it provides the strength behind these crowns. However the porcelain bonded to the metal cores is not very strong and from time to time can fracture. Metal Ceramic crowns are usually used on back teeth although some dentists use them for front teeth as well. The aesthetics of Metal Ceramic crowns is not as good as all ceramic crowns, however their strength is higher

All Zirconium Crowns

(15 years warranty) These crowns look yellow/brown in colour and are usually used for back teeth. These crowns have no porcelain, so the risk of fracture is less than all ceramic and metal ceramic crowns but as they have no porcelain, their aesthetics is compromised compared to all ceramic and metal ceramic crowns. In terms of tooth reduction these crowns need minimal tooth reduction and are less damaging to the tooth as less tooth tissue is removed for their construction. All Zirconium crowns are ideal for situations where gold crowns historically have been the best option.

Gold Crowns

Golden Dental Crowns These crowns are the strongest crowns available but are poor from an aesthetic point of view. They are usually used for back teeth especially in people who suffer from grinding and clenching habits. Gold crowns can be made very thin and as such need minimal tooth reduction and are less destructive of tooth tissue compared to metal ceramic and all ceramic crowns

Dental Bridge

Dental Bridges are false teeth that replace missing teeth by anchoring to one or two of the neighboring teeth. The false tooth is known as the pontic and the anchoring teeth are known as abutments.

They not only improve the esthetics, they help improving eating, maintaining hygiene, prevents adjacent teeth from tipping into the missing tooth space.
