Dental crowns (caps) in Kakinada
A cap that covers and protects a weak, broken or root-canal-treated tooth and restores its shape.
What it is
A crown, often called a cap, covers the whole visible part of a tooth. It is used when a tooth is too weak or broken to hold a filling, and is often fitted after root canal treatment to protect the tooth.
Crowns are made to match the shape and colour of your other teeth so they look natural when you smile and chew.
What to expect at a visit
- An examination to check the tooth is strong enough to support a crown.
- The tooth is shaped and a measurement or impression is taken.
- A final fitting, with a check that your bite feels right.
- Advice on cleaning around the crown and on regular check-ups.
Common questions
Why do I need a crown after a root canal?
A tooth that has had a root canal can be more brittle. A crown covers and protects it so it is less likely to crack. The dentist will advise whether your tooth needs one.
How long does a crown last?
It depends on the material, your bite and how well the tooth is cared for. Ask the dentist about the options for your tooth.
