Dental Crowns and Bridges in Gwalior
Weak, chipped or missing teeth can make eating and smiling difficult — but they're fixable. At Dental Tonic, Gwalior, Dr. Rashmi Sukhwani offers gentle, precise dental crowns and bridges in Gwalior focused on restoring your teeth's strength, function and natural appearance.
We don't just cover up the problem — we restore your teeth properly, so you can chew comfortably and smile with confidence.
What Are Crowns & Bridges?
Dental Crown
A protective cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Think of it as a custom-fitted helmet for your tooth.
Dental Bridge
A fixed tooth replacement that literally "bridges" the gap created by missing teeth, using neighboring teeth for support. This helps restore your ability to chew properly and keeps remaining teeth from shifting.
💎 Natural Results: Modern crowns and bridges are made from tooth-colored materials that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Who Needs Crowns or Bridges?
You may benefit from these treatments if you have:
How the Treatment Works
Getting a crown or bridge typically takes 2-3 visits over a few weeks:
- Visit 1: Preparation — The tooth is carefully reshaped under local anesthesia for comfort. A digital scan or impression is taken to create your custom crown or bridge.
- Temporary Restoration — A temporary crown or bridge is placed to protect your tooth while the permanent one is being made in the lab.
- Visit 2: Final Fitting — Your permanent crown or bridge is carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, then permanently cemented in place.
✓ Comfortable Process: Most patients feel only mild pressure during the procedure, not pain. The area is kept numb throughout treatment.
Types of Materials Used
We offer different materials based on your needs, budget and location of the tooth:
- Ceramic (Porcelain) — Most natural-looking option, excellent for front teeth. Stain-resistant and blends beautifully with natural teeth.
- Zirconia — Extremely strong and durable, ideal for back teeth that handle heavy chewing forces. Also tooth-colored.
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) — Combines strength of metal with natural appearance of porcelain. Cost-effective and durable.
🎯 Personalized Choice: We'll discuss the best material for your specific case, considering aesthetics, durability and your budget.
Benefits of Crowns & Bridges
💪 Durability: With proper care, regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups, crowns and bridges typically last 8-15 years or even longer.
Caring for Your Crowns & Bridges
Maintaining your dental work is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
- Floss daily, especially around bridge areas
- Avoid chewing very hard foods (ice, hard candy, pens)
- Visit your dentist every 6 months for checkups
- Don't use your teeth as tools to open packages
- Consider a nightguard if you grind your teeth
🦷 Long-Term Success: Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help your crowns and bridges last for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during treatment. You may experience mild pressure or sensitivity afterward, which typically subsides within a few days. Most patients find the process very comfortable.
How long do crowns and bridges last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, crowns and bridges typically last between 8 and 15 years. Many patients keep their crowns for 20+ years with excellent care. Longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, diet, and whether you grind your teeth.
Do crowns and bridges look natural?
Yes. Modern ceramic and zirconia materials are custom-made to match the exact color, shape and translucency of your natural teeth. Your dentist will ensure the crown or bridge blends seamlessly with your smile, so most people won't notice you have dental work.
How much do crowns and bridges cost in Gwalior?
The cost depends on the material chosen (ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain-fused-to-metal) and the number of teeth involved. At Dental Tonic, we provide transparent, detailed pricing before treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden fees.
Can I eat normally with a crown or bridge?
Yes. Once your permanent crown or bridge is placed and you've adjusted to it (usually within a few days), you can eat normally. Avoid extremely hard foods initially and be mindful not to bite down on very hard objects, which could damage the restoration.

Don't let damaged or missing teeth hold you back from enjoying life. Dental crowns and bridges can restore your ability to eat comfortably and smile confidently.
