A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size and strength, and protects it from cracking further. Patients across East Delhi visit our dental clinic in Krishna Nagar for crowns that look and feel natural.
Crowns can be made from zirconia, all-ceramic (E-max) or metal-ceramic. They are used after root canal treatment, to repair badly broken teeth, to cover large fillings and on top of dental implants.
Dr Mani recommends a crown when a filling alone would not be strong enough to protect the tooth long term.
Back teeth become more brittle after RCT. A crown covers and protects the treated tooth, greatly reducing the risk of it cracking when you chew.
A crown holds a cracked tooth together and rebuilds a broken one. It stops the crack spreading and lets you bite normally again without pain.
When a filling makes up most of the tooth, the remaining walls can break. A crown wraps around the tooth to strengthen it and prevent fractures.
Grinding or acid erosion can wear teeth down until they are short and sensitive. Crowns restore their height, shape and comfort, and protect them from further wear.
Crowns can cover a tooth that is badly stained, misshapen or darker than its neighbours, giving it a natural colour and shape that blends with your smile.
A dental implant needs a crown to replace the visible part of the missing tooth. It is custom-made to match the shade and shape of your other teeth.
A crown usually takes two visits about a week apart. A temporary crown protects the tooth in between.
Dr Mani checks the tooth, root and gums to confirm a crown is the right choice.
The tooth is numbed and gently shaped to make room for the crown.
A mould or digital scan is taken and the shade is matched to your teeth.
A temporary crown is fitted while your permanent one is made.
The final crown is checked for fit and bite, then permanently cemented.
A crown covers the tooth completely, helping prevent cracks and fractures.
Zirconia and ceramic crowns are shade-matched to blend with your smile.
You can bite and chew comfortably again on the treated tooth.
With good care, a well-made crown can last many years.
Book a consultation and Dr Mani will tell you whether a crown is the right way to protect it.
Treat your crown like a natural tooth. It cannot decay, but the tooth underneath and the gum around it still need daily care.
The cost of a crown depends mainly on the material and whether extra treatment is needed first. Dr Mani explains each option and its cost before starting.

The tooth is numbed before it is prepared, so most people feel only pressure. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal.
With good care, crowns usually last 10 to 15 years or more.
Zirconia looks more natural and is metal-free; metal-ceramic is strong and costs less. Dr Mani recommends based on the tooth and your budget.
Back teeth usually do, because they become brittle. Front teeth can sometimes be restored with a filling.
The crown itself cannot decay, but the tooth underneath can at the edges, so daily cleaning is important.
Usually two visits about a week apart.
