Crowns and Bridges in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru
Restore damaged teeth and replace missing teeth with durable, natural-looking crowns and bridges at MED Rx Dental Centre.
What Are Crowns and Bridges?
A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, weakened, or heavily filled tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A dental bridge uses crowns on the teeth adjoining a gap to support a false tooth, filling the space left by one or more missing teeth. Both are made from durable materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or metal-ceramic, matched to your natural tooth shade.
When Are Crowns and Bridges Needed?
- A tooth is cracked, worn down, or weakened by a large filling
- After root canal treatment, to protect the treated tooth
- To cover a severely discolored or misshapen tooth
- To replace one or more missing teeth without removable dentures
- To anchor a dental implant with a crown restoration
Materials We Use
- Zirconia crowns: Extremely strong and natural-looking, ideal for both front and back teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): A durable, cost-effective option combining strength with a tooth-colored surface.
- All-ceramic crowns: Best aesthetic match for visible front teeth.
The Crown or Bridge Procedure
- Examination and X-ray: We assess the tooth or gap and plan your restoration.
- Tooth preparation: The tooth (or supporting teeth for a bridge) is gently reshaped to make room for the crown.
- Impression: A precise mold or digital scan is taken to design your custom restoration.
- Temporary crown: A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent one is made.
- Final fitting: Your permanent crown or bridge is bonded securely in place, checked for fit and bite.

Crowns and Bridges FAQs
Is getting a crown painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal.
How many visits does a crown or bridge take?
Typically two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and a second to fit the final restoration, usually one to two weeks apart.
Can a bridge replace multiple missing teeth?
A traditional bridge can replace one or more consecutive missing teeth, depending on the strength of the supporting teeth.
How do I care for my crown or bridge?
Brush and floss normally, paying extra attention to the gumline and under the bridge, and keep up with regular dental checkups.
