Holds a Weak Tooth Together
By wrapping around the whole tooth, a crown reduces the risk of thin walls splitting under biting pressure.

Caps and Fixed Bridges
Crowns & Bridges in Thane
When a tooth needs a cap, when a gap needs a bridge, and what the other choices are
A crown, often called a cap, covers a weakened tooth completely and restores its shape and strength. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining a false tooth to crowns on the teeth next to the gap.
Both are fixed in place and both have alternatives. A crown competes with a large filling or an onlay. A bridge competes with an implant or a partial denture. Knowing the trade-offs helps you take part in the decision instead of simply accepting it.
Fills a Gap Without Surgery
A bridge replaces a missing tooth in a few weeks using the neighbouring teeth for support, with no surgical step.
Nothing to Take Out
Crowns and bridges are cemented in place. You brush them like your other teeth and do not remove them at night.
Weighing the Alternatives
Crown or filling, bridge or implant: how Thane patients can compare
A crown is generally advised when a tooth has lost a lot of structure: after root canal treatment on a back tooth, when a cusp has fractured, or when an existing filling is very large. If enough sound tooth remains, an onlay that covers only the damaged part may be a more conservative choice.
A crown does require the tooth to be reduced in size all around. For a small or moderate cavity this is more than is needed, and a filling is the better fit.
A bridge suits a gap bordered by teeth that are strong enough to support it, and it makes particular sense if those teeth already need crowns. Its drawback is that healthy neighbours must be trimmed, and those supporting teeth carry extra load.
An implant fills the same gap without involving the adjacent teeth, but it needs surgery, sufficient bone and several months. A removable partial denture is the simplest and lowest-cost route, though less stable. Leaving the gap open may allow nearby teeth to tilt or the opposing tooth to over-erupt with time.
Crowns and bridges are made in different materials, including metal-ceramic, zirconia and all-ceramic. Stronger materials are usually preferred for back teeth and more translucent ones for front teeth. Your dentist will suggest a material after looking at your bite.

Who Each Option Suits
Typical cases for crowns and bridges at our Thane clinics
A few common situations and the restoration normally discussed for each.
Back Tooth After Root Canal
Molars and premolars are usually crowned after root canal treatment to protect them from fracture.
Cracked or Heavily Filled Tooth
When a filling has little tooth left to hold on to, coverage with an onlay or crown is more dependable.
Gap With Restored Neighbours
If the teeth beside the space already carry large fillings or old crowns, a bridge can renew all of them together.
Gap With Untouched Neighbours
Where adjacent teeth are completely healthy, it is worth discussing an implant before deciding to trim them.
Service Life
How long crowns and bridges generally last for Thane patients
A well-made crown or bridge commonly lasts 10 to 15 years, and some last longer. The usual reasons for replacement are decay starting at the edge, gum problems around the supporting teeth, chipping of the ceramic, or the cement seal failing. Daily cleaning at the gum margin, cleaning underneath a bridge, and routine reviews make a real difference. Individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Neither is right for everyone. A bridge is faster and avoids surgery, but the neighbouring teeth are prepared for crowns. An implant leaves those teeth alone but needs enough bone, a healing period and a higher initial outlay. The condition of the adjacent teeth is often what tips the decision. Your dentist will advise after examining them.
Around 10 to 15 years is common, depending on care, bite forces and the health of the supporting teeth. Brush along the gum line twice a day. For a bridge, use a floss threader, interdental brush or water flosser to clean under the false tooth, as food and plaque collect there. Have them checked at your regular dental visits.
It depends on where the tooth is and how hard you bite. Zirconia and metal-ceramic crowns are strong and often used on back teeth. All-ceramic crowns look very natural and are popular for front teeth. People who grind their teeth may be steered towards tougher materials. The dentist will explain the options for your tooth.
Usually two. At the first, the tooth is shaped, an impression or scan is taken and a temporary crown is placed. At the second, about one to two weeks later, the final crown or bridge is tried in, adjusted and cemented. Extra visits may be needed if the tooth requires other treatment first.
Keep the crown safe and book an appointment soon. Do not fix it back with household glue. Avoid chewing on that side, as the uncovered tooth is weaker and may be sensitive. Often the crown can be cleaned and re-cemented, but if there is decay underneath, a new one may be needed.
