Who is this surgery for?

- To hold a dental bridge firmly in place.

How to prepare
- Initial consultation and examination, including X-rays, to assess the tooth and surrounding bone.
- Discussion of crown material options (e.g., porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-ceramic, zirconia).
- Possible treatment for any underlying issues like decay or gum disease before crown placement.
- Administration of local anesthesia to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
- Tooth preparation, which involves reshaping the tooth by removing a layer of its outer surface.
- Taking an impression or digital scan of the prepared tooth to create a precise model for the crown.
Risks & possible complications
- Sensitivity or discomfort, especially to hot or cold, which usually subsides.
- Risk of nerve damage in the tooth, potentially requiring a root canal.
- Allergic reaction to the crown material (rare, more common with metal alloys).
- Chipping or cracking of the crown, particularly with porcelain crowns.
- Loosening or the crown falling off if the cement weakens.
- Gum irritation or recession around the crowned tooth.
- Risk of decay at the margin where the crown meets the tooth if oral hygiene is poor.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Numbness from anesthesia wears off in a few hours; avoid eating until it does.
- Some sensitivity or mild discomfort is normal for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
- Practice good oral hygiene: brush gently and floss carefully around the temporary and permanent crown.
- Avoid chewing hard, sticky, or crunchy foods on the side of the temporary crown.
- Attend the follow-up appointment for permanent crown placement and cementation.
- After permanent placement, maintain regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure the crown and underlying tooth remain healthy.

Sneha Roy, a 42-year-old high school...
Sneha Roy, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and mother of two, had always been diligent about her dental health. However, a large, old silver filling in her upper left molar had finally given way after 25 years, causing a significant fracture in the tooth. She began experiencing sharp, intermittent pain when chewing, especially with nuts or crusty bread, and a constant dull ache. Her dentist, Dr. Sharma, explained that the fracture was too deep for another filling and that the tooth's structure was compromised. He recommended a dental crown to encase and protect the tooth, preventing a future root canal or extraction. Sneha was anxious about the multi-visit process and the cost, but she trusted Dr. Sharma's gentle manner. At the first appointment, the tooth was numbed, reshaped, and an impression was taken for the lab. She wore a temporary crown for two weeks, being careful with it. The final porcelain crown was cemented at the second visit, and it felt perfectly natural. Within days, she could eat pain-free again. Emotionally, Sneha moved from anxiety about losing a tooth and the procedure's complexity to immense relief and satisfaction. She felt she had preserved her natural smile for years to come and was proud she took proactive care.
