Crowns & Bridgesin Parel, Mumbai
What are dental crowns and bridges?
A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a weak, cracked or root-canal-treated tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring false teeth to the natural teeth on either side. Both are fixed — you don't remove them — and are shaped and shaded to blend in with your smile.
Who is Crowns & Bridges for?
It may help if you notice any of these:
- Teeth weakened by large fillings or decay
- Teeth treated with a root canal
- Cracked or broken teeth
- One or more missing teeth with healthy neighbours
Only a dental check-up can confirm what you need. These signs are a guide, not a diagnosis.
What happens at your visit?
- Step 1
Assessment
The tooth is examined and the best material is discussed with you.
- Step 2
Preparation
The tooth is shaped and an impression is taken; a temporary crown may be placed.
- Step 3
Fitting
The final crown or bridge is checked for fit, bite and colour.
- Step 4
Cementing
It's fixed in place, with advice on cleaning around it.

After your crown or bridge
- Most crowns take two visits: one to prepare and record the tooth, one to fit the final crown.
- The tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days after preparation or fitting.
- If the bite feels high once the numbness has worn off, let the clinic know — it can be adjusted.
- Clean around the crown and under a bridge every day; your dentist will show you how.
General guidance — your own timeline is explained at your consultation.
Crowns & Bridges: common questions
With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, they can last many years. Lifespan depends on the material, your bite and habits like grinding.
Tooth-coloured crowns are matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth so they blend in.
It depends on the health of nearby teeth and the bone. Dr. Pooja will explain both options for your situation.
Usually two: one to prepare the tooth and record its shape, and one to fit the final crown once it has been made. A temporary crown protects the tooth in between.
