Crowns and Bridges

A dental crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using the teeth beside the gap, or implants, for support. At Dental Comfort Zone in Patna, crowns cost ₹3,000 per tooth for metal, ₹5,000 for PFM, and ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 for zirconia. Most crowns and bridges take two to three visits. A cracked, broken or missing tooth does more than spoil your smile. It makes chewing harder and can let nearby teeth drift. Crowns and bridges restore the strength, shape and look of your teeth, and this page explains the options, costs, steps and aftercare in plain words so you can decide with confidence.

Crowns and bridges in Patna for restoring damaged and missing teeth

Metal dental crown used to restore a damaged back tooth in Patna

Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are strong, long-lasting, and ideal for back teeth that handle heavy chewing. They resist wear well and need minimal tooth reduction, making them a durable, budget-friendly choice for restoring damaged molars.

Traditional Dental Bridges

A traditional bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the natural teeth on either side. It restores your bite, prevents shifting of nearby teeth, and gives you a complete, functional smile again.

Cantilever dental bridge supported by a single adjacent tooth

Cantilever Bridges

A cantilever bridge is used when only one natural tooth is available for support, usually on one side of the gap. It's a practical option for replacing a missing tooth without needing support from both sides.

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap fitted over a weak, broken or heavily decayed tooth. It restores the tooth's strength, shape and appearance. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to crowns on the neighbouring teeth, or to dental implants. Both are made to match your bite and the colour of your natural teeth.

Do I Need a Crown or a Bridge?

Your situation	Usually suggested
Cracked or worn tooth	Crown
Large filling that keeps failing	Crown
Tooth treated with a root canal	Crown, to protect it
One or more missing teeth with healthy teeth beside the gap	Bridge
Missing tooth and no healthy neighbours	Implant or implant-supported bridge
Discoloured or misshapen tooth	Crown, or a veneer for the front teeth

Your dentist makes the final recommendation after an examination and X-ray. If your tooth needs a root canal first, see our root canal treatment page. If you are in pain now, see toothache treatment.

Crown Types and Materials Compared

Crown	Cost per tooth	Strengths	Limits	Best for
Metal	₹3,000	Very strong and durable, needs less tooth removed	Not tooth-coloured	Back molars
PFM (porcelain fused to metal)	₹5,000	Strong, with a tooth-coloured surface	A dark line may show at the gumline over time, and the porcelain can chip	Back and some front teeth
Zirconia	₹10,000–₹15,000	Very strong, natural-looking, metal-free	Higher cost	Visible teeth and patients who want metal-free

These are our listed rates. Your dentist confirms the final material and cost after examining the tooth.

Types of Dental Bridges

Traditional bridge: an artificial tooth held by crowns on the teeth on both sides of the gap. The most common type.
Cantilever bridge: supported on one side only, used when there is just one neighbouring tooth, usually where chewing forces are lighter.
Maryland bridge: a conservative bridge with a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of the neighbouring teeth, so less tooth is removed.
Implant-supported bridge: supported by dental implants, so the natural teeth beside the gap are not cut. See dental implants in Patna.

How Much Do Crowns and Bridges Cost in Patna?

Treatment	Unit	Cost
Metal crown	Per tooth	₹3,000
PFM crown	Per tooth	₹5,000
Zirconia crown	Per tooth	₹10,000–₹15,000

Bridge cost depends on how many teeth are missing, the support needed and the material, and is explained after your examination. [Add your bridge price per unit here if you want to publish it.] We explain every cost before treatment begins.

What affects the cost: the crown material, the position of the tooth, whether a root canal or a build-up is needed first, and the number of units in a bridge.

Digital impressions: a precise record of your teeth.

Technology We Use

Digital X-rays for accurate diagnosis
Intraoral camera to show you what we see
Digital impression system for a precise fit
Shade matching so the crown blends with your teeth
Strict sterilization of every instrument

Pain, Recovery and Aftercare

The tooth is numbed, so treatment is usually comfortable. Mild sensitivity or gum soreness for a few days is common. For aftercare:

Eat soft foods at first and avoid very hard or sticky foods
Brush twice a day and floss daily, including around the crown or bridge
Do not chew ice, hard sweets or pens
Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Visit your dentist for follow-ups and professional cleaning. See teeth scaling and cleaning.

How Long Do Crowns and Bridges Last?

Often 10 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. How long yours lasts depends on the material, your bite and your hygiene. Good cleaning around the edges, regular check-ups and avoiding hard objects make the biggest difference.

Risks and Long-Term Care

Temporary sensitivity or gum irritation
A crown or bridge can loosen over time
Decay can develop around supporting teeth if cleaning is poor
A porcelain surface can chip

Returning for check-ups helps us catch small problems early. For worn, damaged or missing teeth across the mouth, see full mouth rehabilitation. For baby teeth, see pediatric dentistry, where we use stainless steel crowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Dental Comfort Zone, a metal crown costs ₹3,000 per tooth, a PFM (porcelain fused to metal) crown costs ₹5,000 per tooth, and a zirconia crown costs ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 per tooth. Your dentist confirms the exact material and cost after examining the tooth.

It depends on the tooth. Metal crowns are strongest and suit back molars, PFM crowns balance strength and appearance, and zirconia crowns are strong, tooth-coloured and metal-free, which suits visible teeth. Your dentist recommends one based on bite force, tooth position and budget.

Commonly 10 to 15 years, and sometimes longer, depending on the material, your bite and how well you clean around the crown. Grinding, chewing hard objects and poor hygiene shorten a crown's life. Daily flossing and regular check-ups help it last.

The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so treatment is usually comfortable. Mild sensitivity or gum soreness for a few days afterwards is common and usually settles. See your dentist if pain increases or the new crown feels high when you bite.

Most crowns and bridges take two to three visits. The first visit prepares the tooth and takes digital impressions, a temporary crown protects it while the permanent one is made, and the final visit fits and adjusts it. Complex cases may need more visits.

A bridge is quicker and needs no surgery, but it requires preparing the teeth beside the gap. An implant replaces the tooth root, protects the jawbone and does not rely on neighbouring teeth, but needs surgery and healing time. Your dentist advises after examining your teeth and bone.

Yes. A loose, cracked or worn crown or bridge can usually be replaced if the supporting tooth is still healthy. Your dentist first checks why it failed and the condition of the tooth underneath before recommending a new restoration.

Yes, especially ceramic and zirconia crowns, which are matched to the colour, shape and size of neighbouring teeth. Metal crowns are not tooth-coloured, so they are usually used on back teeth where they are less visible.
