Crown, bridge or implant — which is better?

A crown restores a tooth you still have. For a missing tooth, an implant is the best long-term option because it does not involve the neighbouring teeth; a bridge is faster and cheaper but requires trimming the teeth on both sides. We explain both honestly for your case.

Which crown material should I choose?

Zirconia is our usual recommendation for back teeth — very strong and metal-free. All-ceramic suits front teeth for the most natural look. Metal-ceramic remains a reliable, economical option.

How long does a crown last?

Typically 10–15 years, often longer. Longevity depends on the health of the underlying tooth and gums, your bite, and whether you grind your teeth.

Does getting a crown hurt?

No. The tooth is numbed for preparation, and fitting the final crown usually needs no anaesthesia at all.

OroCare Dental Clinic fits dental crowns and bridges in Kolkata at its Bhowanipur and Mukundapur centres. Crowns cap a broken, worn or root-treated tooth; bridges replace one or more missing teeth by joining to the teeth on either side.

The journey

Crowns & Bridges, step by step

1
Assessment
We check the tooth, the bite and the supporting bone, and discuss crown versus bridge versus implant.
2
Preparation & impression
The tooth is shaped under anaesthesia and a precise impression or digital scan is taken.
3
Temporary crown
You leave with a natural-looking temporary so you can eat and smile normally.
4
Fit & cement
The final crown or bridge is tried in, checked for bite and shade, then cemented.
