Restore Strength & Aesthetics Dental Crowns at Smile For All, Kolkata
At Smile For All Dental Clinic in Kolkata, we specialize in dental crowns—a durable and aesthetic solution for restoring damaged, decayed, fractured, or weakened teeth. Whether caused by trauma, large cavities, or post-root canal treatment, a crown (also known as a tooth cap) covers and protects your natural tooth while restoring its shape, strength, and beauty.
Each crown we place is custom-designed to match your natural teeth in color, contour, and function—helping you chew, speak, and smile confidently once again.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a full-coverage restoration that fits over the entire visible part of a tooth. It acts like a protective shield, restoring both form and function when a tooth is too damaged for a standard filling.
Crowns are often recommended when:
- A tooth is cracked, chipped, or fractured
- A tooth has undergone root canal treatment
- There is a large filling with minimal natural tooth structure
- A dental bridge needs support on adjacent teeth
- A dental implant requires a permanent restoration
- You want to improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth
Dental Crown Procedure Step-by-Step
At Smile For All, placing a crown typically takes two visits:
Visit 1: Tooth Preparation & Temporary Crown
- Local Anesthesia The area is numbed to ensure complete comfort.
- Tooth Reshaping Damaged or decayed parts are removed, and the tooth is shaped to fit the crown.
- Digital Impressions We take precise 3D scans or molds to design your custom crown.
- Temporary Crown A provisional crown is placed to protect your tooth until the permanent one is ready.
Visit 2: Final Crown Placement
- Removal of Temporary The temporary crown is gently removed.
- Crown Fitting The permanent crown is checked for bite, shape, and color match.
- Cementation Once approved, the crown is permanently bonded for long-lasting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns
A dental crown is used to restore and protect a tooth that is broken, decayed, weakened by large fillings, or treated with a root canal. It can also improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.
No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain. Some mild soreness may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but it typically resolves quickly.
With proper care and oral hygiene, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years—sometimes even longer. Regular dental check-ups and avoiding habits like teeth grinding will help extend their lifespan.
Fillings are ideal for small cavities. However, when the tooth is significantly damaged or has undergone root canal treatment, a crown provides better strength, protection, and longevity.
The cost depends on the crown material and tooth location. At Smile For All, we provide affordable dental crowns in Kolkata with transparent pricing and customized treatment options.
