A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant.  They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods.

2 Appointments are needed crowning (Capping ) of the tooth/teeth.

First Appointment : Tooth preparation and impression 
Second Appointment : Crown Cementation


Similar Procedure is done in the fabrication of Bridge.


Indications of Crown

  •     Advanced tooth destruction.
  •     Tooth shows large fillings that need replacement.
  •     Tooth fracture.
  •     Improving tooth aesthetics.
  •     Endodontically treated teeth.
  •     To cover dental implants.

  • Types of Crown
    1. Metal Crown

  • 2. Metal Ceramic Crown
  • 3. Zirconai (All Ceramic) metal free crown
  • Bridge
    A bridge is a fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants.


  • A bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated.



    Types of bridges depend upon the choice of material as discussed above in the crown section.
