What are Dental Crowns and Bridges?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over damaged teeth, while bridges are composed of multiple crowns that bridge gaps left by missing teeth.
Dental crowns, also known as tooth caps, can be made from three different materials, including all-metal, ceramic-on-metal, and all-ceramic. The material used for the crown will depend on the location of the tooth being restored. For instance, all-ceramic crowns are ideal for front teeth because they blend in seamlessly and create a natural-looking appearance.
At Pristine Dental and Facial Care, we offer high-quality crown and bridge services that are tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of our patients. Our experienced team of dentists uses the latest technologies and techniques to ensure that you receive the best possible care for your dental needs.
Types of Dental Crown
While the shape and structure of a dental crown remains same, crowns differ based on the type of material used to fabricate the crown. Crowns can be made of metal, metal-ceramic or all ceramic materials.
Metal crown is made up of metal alloys like cobalt crown. These crowns have good strength but the only disadvantage with metal crowns is the poor esthetics. These are crowns are very rarely used due to esthetic concerns and whenever used they are fixed on back teeth only.
In Metal-Ceramic crown, the crown is made up of metal alloy with a ceramic tooth colored layering over it to mask the metallic color and to give a tooth like appearance. These crowns are commonly used for back teeth. Advantages associated with metal-ceramic crowns are economical cost and good strength. These crowns have certain disadvantages like poor esthetics (not 100% natural tooth like appearance), chipping of ceramic layer etc.
All Ceramic crowns are made up of a single material i.e ceramic. These crowns can be used for front teeth as well as back teeth. These crowns give an almost natural tooth like appearance. All Ceramic Crowns are made up of zirconia or lithium disilicate (emax). High cost is the only disadvantage of these crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental crowns are custom-made tooth-shaped caps that cover damaged, decayed, or misshapen teeth to improve their strength, shape, size, and appearance. They work by restoring the function and beauty of your teeth and protecting them from further damage.
We offer a range of dental crown materials, including metal crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns, zirconia crowns, and Lithium disilicate (Emax) crowns. Each type of crown has its own unique benefits and is recommended based on the patient’s specific needs and preferences.
A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth or dental implants. It works by restoring your ability to bite, chew, speak, and smile with confidence and preventing your remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
The cost of teeth capping or dental crown placement varies depending on the type of crown you choose, the complexity of the procedure, and other factors. However, we offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to help make our services affordable for everyone.
The lifespan of a dental crown depends on several factors, including the material used, the location of the crown, and how well you care for your teeth. Generally, dental crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, and even longer with proper care and maintenance.
The type of material used for your dental crown can affect its lifespan, with metal and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns lasting longer than all-porcelain or all-ceramic crowns. The location of the crown in your mouth can also impact its durability, with front teeth crowns being more visible and exposed to greater wear and tear. Proper oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing and flossing, and avoiding hard or sticky foods can also help extend the lifespan of your dental crown.
If you experience sensitivity, pain, or discomfort in the tooth with the crown, or if you notice a crack, chip, or other damage to the crown, it may be time for a replacement. Additionally, if your dental crown is more than 10 years old, you may want to consider having it examined by your dentist to ensure it is still functioning properly.
Yes, if your dental crown is damaged or has reached the end of its lifespan, it can be repaired or replaced by your dentist. The process may involve removing the old crown and fitting a new one, or repairing the existing crown with a filling or other material.
To extend the lifespan of your dental crown, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and scheduling regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, wearing a mouthguard if you grind your teeth or play sports can help protect your crown from damage.
We offer a warranty period ranging from 5 to 15 years for our dental crowns and bridges, depending on the type of material used and the extent of the treatment. Our team will explain the details of the warranty coverage and answer any questions you may have.
