Strong, natural-looking restorations for damaged or missing teeth.
A crown is a cap that fits over a tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. A bridge uses crowns on neighbouring teeth to hold an artificial tooth in the gap. Both are used when a filling is not enough or when a tooth has been lost.
A tooth that has been badly broken, heavily filled or treated with a root canal often needs more than a simple filling. A dental crown, sometimes called a tooth cap, covers the tooth completely to restore its shape, strength and appearance. A dental bridge replaces a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth to crowns on the neighbouring teeth. If you have been searching for dental crowns in Greater Noida or a tooth cap near me, this page explains how they work.
We suggest a crown when a tooth has lost too much of its structure to be repaired with a filling, after a root canal, when a tooth is cracked or worn, to protect a weak tooth from breaking, or to improve the look of a severely discoloured or misshapen tooth. A crown protects what remains of the tooth and spreads the chewing load, so that a repaired tooth can keep working for years.
Crowns can be made from several materials, including metal-ceramic, all-ceramic and zirconia. They differ in strength, appearance and cost. Back teeth that take a heavy bite may suit stronger materials, while front teeth are usually made with tooth-coloured materials that match the shade of your smile. We explain the options for your tooth and your budget, and shade-match the crown carefully.
A bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth. The teeth on either side of the gap are shaped to take crowns, and the replacement tooth is fixed between them. It is a fixed solution that you do not take out, and it usually takes fewer visits than an implant. The trade-off is that healthy neighbouring teeth have to be reduced. Implants, bridges and dentures are compared on our dental implants page so that you can decide with confidence.
Crowns and bridges need the same care as natural teeth. Brush twice a day and clean carefully along the gum line. Under a bridge, use floss threaders or interdental brushes to remove plaque. Avoid biting hard objects such as ice, pen caps or nuts with a crown. Regular check-ups allow us to catch any loosening or gum problem early.
At Pranjal Dental Clinic in Jagat Farm, Greater Noida, we plan each crown or bridge after a thorough examination, explain how many visits to expect and share the estimate before we begin.

Tooth-coloured materials can be matched to the shade of your other teeth.
Each has advantages. We will explain the pros and cons for your mouth so you can choose with confidence.
They are the same thing. Dentists call it a crown, while many patients say tooth cap.
With good cleaning, regular check-ups and sensible habits, crowns can last for many years. Their lifespan also depends on the material and the health of the underlying tooth.
The tooth is numbed before it is prepared, so the procedure itself should feel comfortable. Mild sensitivity for a few days is possible.
