Dental crowns & bridges in Kakinada
Caps that rebuild a damaged tooth, and bridges that fill the gap left by a missing one.
What it is
A crown is a cap that fits over a tooth to rebuild its shape and strength, often used after a root canal, a large filling, or when a tooth is cracked or worn. A bridge joins one or more replacement teeth to the teeth on either side of a gap, filling the space left by a missing tooth.
This is core work for a prosthodontist. Crowns are often placed after a root canal to protect the tooth. They are available in metal, ceramic and zirconia, which differ in strength and how closely they match a natural tooth.
What to expect at a visit
- The tooth is shaped to make room for the crown, and an impression is taken so the crown can be made to fit.
- A shade is matched to your natural teeth for the tooth-coloured options.
- The finished crown or bridge is checked for fit and bite, then fixed in place.

Common questions
What is the difference between metal, ceramic and zirconia crowns?
Metal crowns are very strong but do not match tooth colour. Ceramic and zirconia crowns are tooth-coloured, with zirconia being both strong and natural-looking. The dentist will suggest what suits the tooth's position and how much it is used for chewing.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes. A tooth that has had a root canal is more brittle, and a crown protects it from cracking. The dentist will tell you whether yours needs one.
What is a bridge?
A bridge fills the gap of a missing tooth by anchoring a replacement tooth to the teeth on either side. It is one of a few ways to replace a missing tooth, an implant is another, and the dentist can compare them for your case.
