What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a weak or damaged tooth. Think of it like a protective cover — it sits on top of your natural tooth and gives it back its strength and shape.
You may need a crown if:
- Your tooth is cracked or broken
- You have a very large cavity that a filling cannot fix
- You had a root canal treatment and now need to protect the tooth
- Your tooth looks uneven and you want to improve how it looks
Types of Dental Crowns and Cost
There are different types of dental crowns, and each has its own price range:
The right crown for you depends on which tooth needs treatment and your budget. Dr. Ketaki will guide you to the best option during your check-up.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is used to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It works by attaching an artificial tooth to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap — like a bridge connecting two points.
A bridge is a good option if:
- You are missing 1 to 3 teeth in a row
- The teeth next to the gap are healthy and strong
- You want a fixed solution (not removable)
Dental Bridge Cost
Dental bridge cost depends on the material used and how many teeth need to be replaced. At Kiddie Dental Home, bridge treatment starts from ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 (basic PFM) up to ₹15,000–₹25,000 (premium/zirconia) per unit. We’ll give you the exact cost after checking your teeth.
What is a Denture in Dental Treatment?
Many patients ask, “what is a denture in dental care?” In simple words, a denture is a removable set of artificial teeth. It is used when a person has lost most or all of their natural teeth and needs a way to chew, speak, and smile normally again.
Dental Complete Denture
A complete denture is used when all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both are missing. It sits on the gums and is removable — you can take it out to clean it every day.
Dental Implant Dentures
For patients who want a denture that stays more firmly in place, a dental implant denture is also available. Here, the denture is attached to dental implants fixed into the jawbone, giving extra strength and stability compared to a regular denture. Ask Dr. Ketaki if you’re a good candidate for this option.
