Dental Crowns & Bridges in Paldi, Ahmedabad | Akaay Dental Care

What Is Crowns & Bridges?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth entirely, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge uses one or more crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors to "bridge" the gap left by a missing tooth.

At Akaay Dental Care, we fabricate crowns and bridges from high-quality ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal materials. Modern CAD/CAM technology allows for precise fitting, natural aesthetics, and remarkable durability.

When Do You Need It?

Crowns are recommended when:

A tooth is severely decayed or too damaged for a filling

After root canal treatment to protect the weakened tooth

A tooth is cracked or fractured

You have a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth affecting your smile

Bridges are recommended when:

One or more adjacent teeth are missing

You prefer a fixed (non-removable) alternative to dentures

The neighbouring teeth are healthy enough to serve as bridge supports

The Procedure - Step by Step

A comprehensive examination with X-rays determines whether a crown or bridge is the best solution.
The tooth (or teeth) receiving the crown is gently shaped and reduced in size to accommodate the crown thickness.
Precise digital or traditional impressions are taken and sent to a certified dental laboratory.
A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth while the permanent restoration is fabricated (usually 5–7 days).
At your second appointment, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is checked for fit, bite, and colour match.
The crown or bridge is permanently cemented in place for a natural-looking, secure fit.

Benefits

Fully restores chewing function and bite alignment

Natural-looking ceramic or zirconia blends perfectly with your smile

Long-lasting: properly cared-for crowns can last 10–15 years or more

Protects root-canal-treated teeth from fracture

Aftercare Tips

Avoid very hard or sticky foods for the first few days after cementation.
Brush and floss normally; use a floss threader to clean under bridge pontics.
Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
Schedule check-ups every 6 months so your dentist can monitor the margins of the crown.

Frequently Asked Questions - Crowns & Bridges

Zirconia crowns are the gold standard today - they combine exceptional strength with a natural, translucent appearance suitable for both front and back teeth. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are a cost-effective alternative with good aesthetics.

The process typically involves two visits over 7–10 days. The first visit involves tooth preparation and impressions; the second involves fitting and cementing the permanent crown.

Both are excellent solutions. A bridge is faster, more affordable, and avoids surgery. A dental implant is a standalone solution that does not involve the adjacent teeth. We assess each patient individually to recommend the best option.

Yes. We custom-shade and shape every crown to match your surrounding teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference between a high-quality ceramic crown and a natural tooth.
