Dental Crowns

Restore, Protect & Beautify Your Teeth
What Are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or weak tooth to restore its shape, strength, function, and appearance. It sits snugly over the visible part of the tooth above the gum line.

At StarShine Dental Clinic, we offer high-quality dental crowns made from ceramic, zirconia, metal, and porcelain-fused materials, custom-designed to match your natural tooth shade and bite for a long-lasting, natural-looking result.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

Crowns are recommended in the following cases:

  • Severely decayed or broken tooth
  • After Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
  • Cracked or fractured teeth
  • Worn-down teeth from grinding (bruxism)
  • To cover a dental implant
  • To support a large filling
  • To reshape or improve appearance of a tooth
  • For cosmetic enhancements (e.g., discolored or oddly shaped teeth)

Crowns are vital in protecting weakened teeth, improving aesthetics, and restoring chewing function.

Types of Dental Crowns

Crown Type Features Ideal For
Metal Crowns Very strong, durable Back molars where strength is critical
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Strong with tooth-like appearance Front & back teeth
Ceramic/Porcelain Crowns Excellent aesthetics Front teeth
Zirconia Crowns Highly aesthetic, strong, biocompatible All teeth; best choice for durability + looks
Temporary Crowns Short-term use until permanent crown is ready Used after RCT or crown prep

Our dentists will help you choose the right crown based on your budget, position of the tooth, and cosmetic goals.

How Is a Crown Placed?

1. Tooth Preparation : Damaged or decayed parts are removed. The tooth is reshaped for crown fitting.

2. Digital Scan or Impression: 3D scans are taken to custom-make the crown for a perfect fit.

3. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is being fabricated.

4. Final Crown Cementation: After 4–7 days, the permanent crown is cemented and adjusted for bite.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

  • Protects weak or cracked teeth from breaking
  • Restores full chewing ability
  • Improves the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
  • Long-lasting durability (10–15+ years)
  • Biocompatible and safe materials
  • Easy to clean and maintain like natural teeth

What Happens If You Delay a Crown?

  • Tooth may break or fracture further
  • Existing RCT-treated tooth may fail
  • Increased sensitivity or infection
  • Misalignment due to shifting of adjacent teeth
  • Need for extraction or implant if too late

A timely dental crown can save the natural tooth and prevent bigger dental issues.

Aftercare Instructions

  • Avoid sticky/hard foods for 24 hours
  • Practice good oral hygiene (brushing + flossing)
  • Avoid grinding or biting nails
  • Regular dental checkups to monitor crown condition
  • If crown feels loose or painful, visit us immediately

With proper care, crowns can last well over a decade.
