Holds a weak tooth together
By covering the whole biting surface, a crown spreads chewing forces and lowers the chance of a heavily filled tooth splitting.

Fixed Restorations
Crowns & Bridges in Bandra, Mumbai
Caps and fixed bridges, shade-matched and scheduled in clear steps
A crown is a cover made to fit over a weakened tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining an artificial one to crowns on the teeth beside the gap. Both are fixed in place and are not removed for cleaning.
Because a crown or bridge is made outside the mouth, there is a natural pause between preparing the tooth and fitting the final piece. At our Bandra West clinic we use that structure to your advantage. Material and shade are agreed at the start, and you know the dates of both main visits before the first one begins.
Shade chosen in daylight
Colour is selected against your neighbouring teeth, ideally in natural light, and recorded for the laboratory along with notes on shape.
A gap closed without surgery
A bridge fills a space using the adjacent teeth for support. For some patients it is a practical alternative to an implant.
The Two-Visit Sequence
How crowns and bridges are planned and fitted at Nitro Dentists, Bandra
The dentist first checks that the tooth, its root and the surrounding gum are healthy enough to carry a crown. An X-ray is usually needed. If there is decay or infection, a filling, core build-up or root canal treatment comes first.
At the preparation visit, the tooth is numbed and reduced in size on all sides to make room for the crown. An impression or scan is taken, the shade is recorded, and a temporary crown is fitted to protect the tooth and keep your smile intact in the meantime.
The final crown or bridge is then made to those records. At the fitting visit, the dentist checks the fit at the gum line, the contacts with neighbouring teeth, the bite and the colour before cementing it. If something is not right, it can be sent back for correction instead of being fixed in place.
Material is a joint decision. All-ceramic and zirconia crowns have no metal and are popular where appearance matters. Porcelain fused to metal has a long track record. Full metal crowns are strong and need less tooth removed, but they are visible. Your dentist will explain which suits the position of the tooth and your bite.
A bridge asks more of the supporting teeth, since they have to be prepared for crowns even if they are otherwise sound. If those teeth are untouched and healthy, it is worth discussing an implant as an alternative.

Common Reasons
When a crown or bridge is usually advised
A crown is not the answer to every damaged tooth, and smaller repairs are preferred where they will hold. These are the situations in which full coverage or a bridge tends to be recommended.
More filling than tooth
When most of a tooth is filling material, the thin remaining walls can crack under load. A crown holds them together.
A root-treated back tooth
Molars and premolars that have had root canal treatment are commonly crowned to guard against fracture.
A cracked or worn-down tooth
Teeth shortened by grinding, or with a crack that causes pain on biting, may need full coverage to function comfortably.
A single gap between teeth
Where one or two teeth are missing and the neighbours are strong, a fixed bridge can restore the row.
Looking After It
The crown cannot decay, but the tooth under it can
The join between crown and tooth sits at the gum line, where plaque collects. Careful brushing there, and cleaning under a bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes, is what keeps the tooth underneath sound. Regular check-ups let the dentist spot a leaking edge early.

Frequently Asked Questions
A carefully shade-matched ceramic crown is usually very difficult to tell from a natural tooth. The dark line some people have seen on older crowns comes from the metal layer under the porcelain showing at the gum edge, often after the gum has receded. Metal-free materials avoid this. If you are thinking of whitening your teeth, do it before the crown is made, because the crown’s colour cannot be changed later.
Typically two main visits. The first, for preparation and impressions, is the longer one. The second, for fitting, is shorter and usually follows about one to two weeks later, depending on the laboratory. You can go back to work after either visit once you are comfortable, bearing in mind that the numbness lasts a few hours after the first. A tooth that needs a build-up or root canal treatment beforehand will add visits, and so will a longer bridge.
A temporary crown is held with weak cement on purpose, so that it can be removed easily at the fitting visit. Chew on the other side where you can, avoid sticky or hard food, and when flossing, slide the floss out sideways instead of pulling it up. It will look acceptable but is not an exact match. If it comes off, keep it and call the clinic so it can be re-cemented. Leaving the tooth uncovered can cause sensitivity and let it shift.
Each has its place. A bridge is quicker and avoids surgery, but the teeth on either side must be trimmed to support it, and cleaning underneath takes extra care. An implant stands independently and leaves the neighbours untouched, but it needs enough bone, a minor surgical procedure and several months. If the adjacent teeth already need crowns, a bridge can make good sense. The dentist will go through both with you after an examination.
Often ten years or more, though this varies widely. The usual reasons for replacement are decay at the edge, gum problems around the supporting teeth, or chipped porcelain. Good cleaning at the gum line, not using your teeth as tools, and wearing a night guard if you grind all help. A crown that feels loose or high should be checked promptly.
