RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Crowns and Bridges in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru
Restore damaged teeth and replace missing teeth with durable, natural-looking crowns and bridges at Med RX Dental Care.
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.
How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns and bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or longer. We’ll guide you on care to help your restoration last as long as possible.

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.
