Dental Crowns (Caps) in Hennur

Crown vs Cap: Understanding the Terms

Patients frequently ask whether a dental cap is different from a dental crown. Clinically, they are exactly the same treatment. "Dental cap" is the traditional, colloquial term popularized because the restoration literally caps or covers the visible portion of a tooth. In modern restorative dentistry, clinicians use the term "dental crown" to describe a precision-engineered prosthetic restoration that covers 360 degrees of the prepared tooth down to the gum margin.

Unlike simple surface fillings that sit inside an existing tooth cavity, a crown acts as a continuous structural helmet. It shields the underlying tooth structure from horizontal shear forces, biting pressure, and bacterial micro-leakage. Crowns are indicated when more than half of the natural tooth enamel has been lost to deep decay, repeated fillings, trauma, or endodontic intervention.

Crown After Root Canal: Protecting Weakened Teeth

Undergoing a root canal treatment removes the diseased nerve, blood supply, and lymphatics from within the pulp chamber. While this resolves infection and relieves pain, it leaves the remaining natural tooth dehydrated, brittle, and hollowed out. Chewing forces on molars and premolars regularly exceed 500 Newtons, which can easily cause an unprotected, root-treated tooth to split vertically down the middle.

When a tooth fractures vertically below the bone level, it cannot be saved and requires extraction. Placing a high-strength CAD/CAM crown after root canal treatment distributes occlusal forces evenly across the entire root surface, preventing catastrophic breakage and ensuring your natural tooth foundation remains functional for decades. At Aureva Dental, we reinforce the tooth core with a bonded composite buildup before taking precision impressions for crown fabrication.

Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair: Bonding vs Full Crowns

Dental trauma, accidental biting on olive pits, or sports impacts often lead to chipped or broken teeth. The appropriate restorative strategy depends directly on the extent of tooth structure involved:

Dental Crown Materials: Zirconia, E-Max & PFM

Selecting the ideal crown material depends on tooth location, biting load, aesthetic expectations, and opposing enamel contact. Aureva Dental offers biocompatible, clinically proven crown systems:

Dental Bridges for Missing Teeth: Per-Unit Precision

When one or two consecutive teeth are missing, a fixed dental bridge offers a stable, non-removable restorative option without needing surgical implant placement. A bridge consists of two anchoring crowns placed over the natural teeth on either side of the space (abutments), connected to an artificial suspended prosthetic tooth in the middle (pontic).

At Aureva Dental, pricing for dental bridges is completely straightforward: it is calculated per unit, exactly matching the individual crown price of your chosen material. For instance, a 3-unit monolithic zirconia bridge replacing one missing molar consists of 3 crown units (₹10,000 – ₹18,000 per unit). Our clinicians verify perfect bite balance and seamless margin adaptation using digital RVG imaging so your bridge feels natural from day one.
