A dental crown is a permanent covering that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and enhance its appearance.
A dental crown is a permanent covering that is placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and enhance its appearance.
A custom-made cap that restores the strength, shape and look of a damaged tooth.
A dental crown is a cap that fits over a tooth, covering it completely to restore its shape, strength and appearance. It is used when a tooth is too damaged for a filling to hold, such as after a root canal or when a tooth is cracked or badly worn.
Crowns can be made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic or metal-based options, and your dentist will help you choose the one that suits the tooth and your budget.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist explains each step, provides a temporary crown between visits, and checks the fit and bite carefully before the final crown is placed.

| Who It's For | People with cracked, weak or heavily filled teeth, teeth after root canal treatment, or teeth that are worn or discoloured |
A crown is recommended when a tooth needs full coverage to protect it and restore normal chewing.

With good oral care, crowns often last many years. Avoid biting very hard objects and keep up with regular check-ups.
