Zirconia, ceramic and PFM crowns can restore a damaged tooth. Dr. Sumit Firke can explain the material options, preparation and expected visits after examination.
Dr. Sumit Firke assesses whether a crown is suitable for your tooth and discusses zirconia, ceramic and PFM options. The material and treatment stages depend on your tooth and bite.
The dentist will discuss colour, fit, expected visits, aftercare and the full estimate before treatment.
A dental crown fully encases a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and natural appearance. It is recommended after root canal treatment on back teeth, for cracked or broken teeth, for teeth with large failing fillings, or to cover a dental implant.
At Tulip Dental, every crown is shade-matched to your existing teeth and fabricated by premium labs, ensuring a result that is both durable and aesthetically flawless.
The tooth is shaped under local anaesthesia to receive the crown. A temporary crown is placed the same day so you are never without a tooth.
A precision impression is sent to a premium dental lab. Your crown is custom-fabricated to your exact tooth shade and anatomy, typically 5–7 days.
The crown is tried in, checked for fit and bite, adjusted if needed, and permanently cemented. The result: a tooth that looks, feels, and functions naturally.
Dr. Sumit Firke recommends the right crown for your specific tooth, bite, and budget, always honestly.
