Evaluating Tooth Crown Cost in India

Tooth crowns are used as covers to protect the natural teeth. Tooth crowns, when joined together, form a dental bridge. Dental Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth.

The cost of dental crown/bridges varies considerably depending on the material used for the construction and the workmanship of the designing technician. There are several materials available today used for fabrication of crowns and bridges:

1. Metals: Metals provide the most durable material used for construction. The commonly used metals are an alloy of nickel-cobalt and chromium(non-precious metals) to gold alloys(precious metals). However, there use now has become very limited due to their color as the emphasis today on cosmetics is very high.

2. Metal fused to porcelain: These have an inner core of metal to which tooth-colored ceramic is fused. The choice of metal used varies from non-precious to precious. These are the most popular ones due to a balance between budget and cosmetics.

3. Metal free crowns: These are the higher and expensive versions usually indicated for cases where an emphasis on cosmetics is very high. They are also very durable. They are the ones who are gaining popularity now.

However each one of these has a specific indication of use.

With dental crowns and bridges restoring both cosmetics and function, it is very important to understand the patient”s expectations before zeroing in on the material.
