A cracked, broken or missing tooth can be covered or replaced so that you can chew and smile with ease. Dr. Athhar Maswood K and the team at Pristine Dental Clinic explain which option fits your tooth, and what it will cost, before they start.
The exact plan, number of visits and cost are explained after your examination.
A crown is a cap that fits over a damaged tooth. It covers the whole tooth, protects it and restores its shape. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining a false tooth to crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap.
Zirconia is a strong, tooth-coloured ceramic material. It is often chosen because it can be matched to the shade of your own teeth and does not show a dark metal edge at the gum.
At Pristine Dental Clinic in HSR Layout, Dr. Athhar examines the tooth first, and tells you if a crown or a bridge is the right choice, or if another option would suit you better.
Only an examination can confirm whether you need a crown or a bridge.
These are common reasons for a crown or a bridge. Dr. Athhar will tell you what applies to you.
A treated tooth is weaker, and a crown helps protect it.
When little of the natural tooth is left, a crown can hold it together.
A crown covers the damage and protects the tooth.
A bridge can fill the gap using the teeth on either side.
A crown can improve how a tooth looks.
A crown can add support to a weak tooth.
If a tooth is painful or swollen, call the clinic first on 090193 67756.
Most crowns and bridges need two visits. Dr. Athhar will tell you what to expect for your tooth.
Dr. Athhar checks the tooth and the gum, and takes an X-ray.
You are told what is needed, how many visits it may take and what it will cost, before anything starts.
The tooth is numbed and shaped so the crown or bridge can fit over it.
An impression or scan of your teeth is taken, and a temporary crown protects the tooth while yours is made.
The final crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite and colour, and then fixed in place.
You will be shown how to clean around the crown or bridge. Regular check-ups keep the teeth and gums healthy.

A zirconia crown covers a tooth that is still there but damaged, for example after a large filling or root canal treatment. A bridge fills the gap of a missing tooth using the teeth on either side for support. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth without using the teeth beside it.
The dentist in HSR Layout checks the tooth, the gap and the teeth around it, then explains which option suits you, the number of visits and the cost. Zirconia crowns and bridges are matched to the shade of your other teeth.

Call 090193 67756The cost depends on the number of teeth and the material. After the examination, Dr. Athhar explains the plan and the cost before anything starts.
A crown covers one damaged tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth and is supported by the teeth on either side of the gap.
Zirconia is a strong, tooth-coloured material and can be matched to your own teeth. Dr. Athhar will tell you if it is the right material for your tooth.
The tooth is numbed before it is prepared, so you should not feel pain during the visit. Some sensitivity afterwards is common and usually settles.
With good cleaning and regular check-ups, crowns can last many years. How long depends on the tooth, your bite and how you care for it.
Usually two: one to prepare the tooth and one to fit the final crown or bridge. Dr. Athhar will confirm for your case.
A bridge uses the teeth beside the gap for support. An implant stands on its own in the bone. Dr. Athhar will explain which suits you.

Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a tooth that has had a root canal is weaker. The dentist checks the tooth and tells you whether it needs a crown.
Yes. Zirconia is tooth-coloured and the crown or bridge is matched to the shade of your own teeth, so it does not show a dark metal edge at the gum.
