Dental Crowns in Gurgaon

A healthy smile is one of your most valuable assets—but when a tooth is damaged, decayed, or weakened, its function and appearance can be compromised. While fillings or bonding may work for minor issues, sometimes the tooth needs more comprehensive reinforcement. That’s where dental crowns come in.

A crown acts like a protective “cap” that covers the entire tooth, restoring its strength, shape, and natural beauty. Whether caused by decay, trauma, root canal treatment, or aesthetic concerns, crowns offer a long-lasting solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that completely encases a tooth above the gumline. It is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth size, shape, and colour, providing strength and aesthetics. Crowns are commonly recommended when:

A tooth is too weak for a filling.
A large portion of the tooth is damaged or decayed.
A root canal-treated tooth requires reinforcement.
A broken or severely worn tooth needs rebuilding.
A dental implant requires a prosthetic restoration.
Cosmetic improvements are desired for shape, size, or colour.

Unlike simple fillings, crowns distribute bite forces evenly and protect the underlying tooth structure from further damage.

Types of Dental Crowns

There is a wide range of high-quality materials so patients can choose what works best for their needs:

Porcelain / Ceramic Crowns – Known for their natural look, ideal for front teeth.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) Crowns – Combine strength with aesthetics.
Zirconia Crowns – Highly durable and biocompatible, with excellent aesthetics.
Metal Crowns – Extremely strong, often used for molars where function outweighs appearance.
Temporary Crowns – Short-term solutions placed while the permanent crown is being custom-fabricated.

Our team will help you select the best option based on function, appearance, and long-term results.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

Your dentist may recommend a crown if you have:

Severely decayed or damaged tooth where fillings are insufficient.
Cracked or fractured tooth needing structural support.
Root canal-treated tooth that requires extra strength.
Excessive tooth wear due to grinding or erosion.
Dental implant restoration- requiring a prosthetic crown.
Cosmetic concerns- Ideal for enhancing appearance by correcting tooth staining, uneven shapes, or disproportionate size.

Ignoring the need for a crown can increase the risk of further breakage, pain, or even tooth.

Signs You May Need a Crown

Persistent pain when chewing or biting.
Visible cracks or fractures.
Large existing fillings that compromise tooth integrity.
Severe discolouration resistant to whitening.
Teeth that appear small, worn down, or uneven.
Recent root canal treatment.

If you notice these issues, getting a dental crown is the best way to protect your oral health and restore your smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Getting a crown at Aspen Dental is a straightforward, comfortable process designed with precision and care.

Consultation & Diagnosis - A thorough examination with digital X-rays and scans helps us assess the tooth and determine the best crown option.
Tooth Preparation - The affected tooth is carefully shaped and cleaned to form a stable base for the crown. When required, extra build-up material is added to reinforce the structure before placement.
Digital Impressions - We use advanced digital scanners (avoiding messy molds) to take precise impressions. This ensures your crown fits perfectly.
Temporary Crown- A provisional crown is fitted to safeguard the prepared tooth and preserve your smile’s appearance while the permanent crown is being custom-made in the dental laboratory.
Crown Placement- When the custom crown is ready, your dentist carefully evaluates its shade, fit, and bite alignment. Once perfected, the crown is securely bonded in place with high-quality dental cement for lasting strength and function.
Final Polishing & Bite Adjustment – The crown is finely polished, and precise adjustments are made to ensure it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth and provides a comfortable bite.

Aftercare Tips for Dental Crowns

Taking care of your crown ensures longevity and comfort:

Maintain daily oral hygiene by brushing and flossing to keep your gums healthy and protect the crowned tooth.
Refrain from chewing on hard items like ice, pens, or fingernails, as these can chip or damage the crown
Reduce intake of staining foods like coffee, tea, and red wine.
Schedule regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth to prevent unnecessary pressure and prolong the crown’s lifespan.
