What is it?
A dental crown (tooth cap) encases a heavily decayed, cracked, or root-canal-treated tooth to protect it from biting fractures while restoring normal chewing and lifelike aesthetics. At Kumar's Microscopic Dental Care in Yelahanka, crowns are digitally scanned using our advanced iTero® 3D Intraoral Scanner—ensuring flawless microscopic margin fit without messy impression pastes—and planned by Dr. RV Roshini, MDS Prosthodontist & Crown Specialist.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between zirconia and metal-ceramic (PFM) crowns?
Monolithic zirconia is 100% metal-free, biocompatible, and virtually unbreakable. PFM crowns have a metal core that can eventually show a dark line near receding gums.
How long does a dental crown last?
High-grade zirconia and ceramic crowns typically last 15 to 20 years or longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups.
How many appointments are needed for a crown?
Typically 2 appointments: Visit 1 for tooth preparation and 3D digital optical scanning with iTero; Visit 2 for trial and precision cementation.
Will my prepared tooth feel sensitive while waiting for the permanent crown?
We place a customized temporary crown to protect the tooth against temperature changes and maintain chewing comfort between visits.
Can a dental crown fall off or break?
Zirconia crowns are engineered with flexural strengths exceeding 1100 MPa, making fractures extremely rare. If a crown dislodges due to sticky food, it can usually be recemented promptly.
What is the cost of a zirconia crown in Yelahanka?
Zirconia crowns in Yelahanka generally vary by aesthetic translucency and lab warranty length ([[FILL: zirconia price range]]).
