Dental Crown in Banjara Hills

A dental crown is recommended when a tooth has lost enough structure or aesthetic integrity that a filling or veneer alone cannot deliver the required strength or appearance. The prosthodontist confirms this after examining the tooth and reviewing the X-ray. Common situations where a crown is needed:

An existing crown that is worn, chipped, discoloured or no longer sealed correctly at the margin

After root canal treatment on a molar or premolar, where fracture risk increases

A front tooth with structural damage where a veneer does not provide sufficient coverage

A tooth with internal discolouration from root canal treatment that cannot be masked by whitening

A dental implant requiring a final crown to complete the restoration

A cracked tooth where the fracture involves the full crown portion of the tooth

Zirconia Crowns - Strongest all-ceramic option. Metal free, tooth colored. Best for: back teeth, where durability and appearance are needed.

E-Max Crowns - High translucency. Best for: front teeth and visible premolars where aesthetics are priority and bite force is moderate.

All-Ceramic Crowns - Metal-free. Suitable for patients with metal sensitivities. Best for: front teeth where natural color match matters. Less suitable for high bite force.

PFM Crowns - Ceramic over a metal base. Durable and cost-effective. Best for: back teeth where strength is needed.

Metal Crowns - Full metal, used in specific molar cases with very high bite force and minimal visibility. Requires the least tooth preparation of any crown type.

For selected cases, the CEREC CAD-CAM system allows a ceramic crown to be designed and milled at the branch and fitted in the same appointment. The process uses a digital scan for precise shade and shape planning, with no temporary crown needed between visits.

This is particularly relevant for patients in Banjara Hills seeking efficient, high-quality restorations without compromising on the precision of the final result. Eligibility is confirmed at the assessment appointment.

Consultation and Assessment: The prosthodontist examines the tooth, reviews the X-ray and confirms the crown material and whether single-visit placement is suitable.

Tooth Preparation: A controlled amount of structure is removed from all surfaces to create space for the crown. The degree of reduction depends on the material selected.

Impression or Digital Scan: A digital scan is taken in most cases. A physical impression is used where clinically needed.

Temporary Crown: Placed to protect the tooth while the permanent crown is fabricated. Not required for CEREC single-visit cases.

Crown Fitting: The permanent crown is checked for fit, bite balance and appearance before final cementation.

Review and Aftercare: Bite confirmed at a short follow-up. Care instructions cover cleaning, bite habits and check-up schedule.

An existing crown that no longer seals correctly at the margin allows bacteria to access the tooth structure underneath. Decay developing under a crown is often only detected at an X-ray check-up, by which point the damage may be advanced enough to compromise the tooth's restorability.

A crown showing visible wear or fracture in the ceramic layer is not purely a cosmetic issue. A broken or open margin changes how the bite load distributes across the tooth, increasing the risk of fracture in the natural tooth structure below.

The prosthodontist at Eledent Dental Hospital Banjara Hills assesses whether an existing crown needs replacement or repair at a clinical examination.
