What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover and protect damaged or decayed teeth. They restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Shree Krishna Dental Care, we specialize in providing high-quality dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics. Our skilled dentists use advanced materials and techniques to create crowns tailored to your unique needs.

What to Expect During the Crown Procedure
During your first visit, our dentist will assess your dental health and determine if a crown is the best solution for you. We may take X-rays to evaluate the tooth's structure and surrounding bone.
Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort. The affected tooth will be reshaped to accommodate the crown. If decay is present, it will be removed. We will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom crown that fits perfectly.
A temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth while your custom crown is being fabricated.
Once your custom crown is ready, you'll return for a second appointment. The dentist will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent crown. We will ensure proper fit, bite, and aesthetics before permanently cementing the crown in place.

Brush and floss regularly, paying attention to the area around the crown.
