Holds a Weak Tooth Together
A crown wraps around the tooth and spreads biting forces, lowering the chance of a heavily filled or root-treated tooth splitting.

Caps and Bridges, Made Less Daunting
Crowns & Bridges in Khar, Mumbai
Know what each of the two main visits involves before you sit down
A crown, often called a cap, covers a weak or broken tooth. A bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth to crowns on the teeth beside the gap. Both are well-established treatments, yet the phrase “tooth preparation” makes many patients uneasy.
At our Khar clinic the tooth is fully numbed before it is shaped, and you are told what is happening at every stage. If you have a history of dental fear, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can be added so that the longer first appointment passes more easily.
Fills a Gap Without Surgery
A bridge is fixed in place and needs no operation. It is one way to replace a missing tooth when an implant is not suitable or not wanted.
Shade Chosen With You
The colour is matched against your neighbouring teeth, and you can see and approve the shade before the crown or bridge is made.
Two Main Visits
What happens, and what you feel, during crown or bridge treatment in Khar
Planning: the dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray to check the root and surrounding bone. If there is decay or infection, this is treated first. For a bridge, the supporting teeth must be strong enough to carry the extra load.
Preparation visit: after the anaesthetic has worked, the tooth is reduced on all sides to make room for the crown. You feel vibration and water spray, not pain. An impression or digital scan is then taken, which involves holding still with a tray or scanner in your mouth for a short while.
The temporary: a temporary crown or bridge protects the prepared teeth while the final one is being made. It is weaker than the final version. Chew gently on that side and avoid sticky food. If it loosens or comes off, call the clinic so it can be recemented.
Fitting visit: the temporary is removed and the new crown or bridge is tried in. The dentist checks the fit at the gum line, the contact with adjacent teeth and your bite, then cements it. This visit is usually shorter and often needs little or no anaesthetic.
Settling in: the tooth and gum may feel tender or slightly sensitive to temperature for some days. If the bite feels uneven when you chew, come back for a small adjustment instead of waiting for it to wear in.

Why It May Be Advised
Situations where a crown or bridge is commonly recommended
A crown removes more tooth structure than a filling, so it is suggested only when a simpler repair is unlikely to hold. Typical reasons include:
More Filling Than Tooth
When a filling makes up most of the tooth, the thin remaining walls can break. A crown gives full coverage.
Cracked or Fractured Tooth
Pain on biting and releasing can indicate a crack. A crown may stop it spreading, depending on how deep it runs.
Root-Treated Back Tooth
Molars and premolars are often crowned after root canal treatment to protect them during chewing.
A Single Gap
A bridge can span a space left by one or sometimes two missing teeth, provided the teeth on either side are sound.
Worth Understanding
Crowns and bridges still need looking after
The tooth under a crown can decay at the edge where crown meets gum. With a bridge, food collects beneath the false tooth and has to be cleaned out with special floss or an interdental brush. We show you how. With good care these restorations often serve for many years, though they can chip, loosen or need replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic, so shaping it should not hurt. If the tooth has already had a root canal, there is usually even less sensation. Anxious patients can ask for nitrous oxide, which is offered at our Khar clinic. The dentist will confirm suitability after going through your medical history.
An examination, an X-ray of the tooth, and a discussion about material choices and whether a crown, bridge or another option fits your situation. If you are ready and the tooth is healthy, preparation can sometimes start that day. Otherwise it is booked separately.
Options generally include all-ceramic types such as zirconia, porcelain fused to metal, and full metal. Each balances strength and appearance differently. The position of the tooth, your bite and any grinding habit guide the recommendation.
Usually a matter of days to a couple of weeks, while the final crown is made. The exact time depends on the type of crown and the laboratory work involved. You will be given a date for the fitting visit.
A bridge is quicker and avoids surgery but relies on trimming the neighbouring teeth. An implant leaves those teeth untouched but needs enough bone, a minor operation and a longer healing time. The dentist will set out both options for your mouth so you can weigh them up.
