A dental crown is a cap made for one tooth. It covers the whole visible part of the tooth, holds a cracked or weakened tooth together, and gives it back its shape so you can chew on it again. A filling repairs a hole; a crown is for a tooth that has lost too much of its own structure for a filling to hold.

Crowns come in metal, ceramic and zirconia. Each suits a different tooth: a back molar needs strength more than looks, a front tooth needs to match its neighbours. Most crowns are done in two visits over one to two weeks: one to prepare and scan the tooth, one to fit the finished crown.

At The Smile Super Speciality Dental Clinic, in Kondapur, Hyderabad and in Maharani Peta, Visakhapatnam, you get an X-ray, an iTero 3D scan, the material options for your tooth side by side, and a written plan with the price before anything is done.

What patients tell us when they first come in

  • "A piece of my back tooth broke off while eating. It does not hurt, but it feels sharp."
  • "I had a root canal last month. Do I really need a crown on it?"
  • "This filling has been redone three times and it keeps falling out."
  • "My old crown has a dark line at the gum. Can it be changed to something that looks natural?"
  • "I was quoted very different prices for a crown at two places. Why?"

Why patients choose us for a crown

  • Caring for families in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam since 1997, ISO 9001 certified
  • An iTero 3D scan instead of moulds, used both to plan the crown and to send it to the lab
  • A written plan with the material, brand and full price before treatment, and the cheaper option named first when it does the job
  • Dr. Varsha Reddy, Dental Surgeon, and Dr. Rajesh Kumar Y, MDS Orthodontics, Facial Orthopedist and Fellow of Implantology (Germany), so a crown, a root canal and an implant are weighed by people who do all three. Kondapur has an all-women team. Visit Smile Dental Clinic Kondapur or Smile Dental Clinic Vizag.
