Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a custom made cap placed on top of a damaged, treated or worn tooth. Crowns are used when fillings are not enough to restore the shape and function of your teeth. They protect, cover, and strengthen the tooth so you can bite and chew comfortably again. Metal, porcelain, resin, and advanced ceramic materials like zirconia and graphene can be used for dental crowns.
If you are searching for a dental crown in Hyderabad or exploring ‘dental crown near me’ to find a trusted clinic, Eledent Dental Hospital offers complete crown solutions under one roof.
Why Would You Need a Dental Crown?
You may need a dental crown for several reasons, including:
- To protect a weak tooth (possibly from decay) from breaking, or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- To restore a broken, cracked or a severely worn down tooth.
- There is a large cavity or old filling that can no longer support the tooth
- To hold a dental bridge in place.
- You want to improve the shape, size, or colour of a tooth in your smile line.
- You have a dental implant that needs a tooth-like crown on top.
- To cover a tooth that has been treated with a root canal.
Whether the crown is for a single damaged tooth or part of a full smile makeover, Eledent’s specialists help you choose the right option, from metal and porcelain to high-strength zirconia crown in Hyderabad based on your bite, aesthetics, and budget.

How is Your Tooth Prepared for a Dental Crown?
Most dental crowns are completed over two visits. At Eledent Dental Hospital whether you are planning a dental crown in Manikonda or at any of our other Hyderabad branches, the preparation process follows the same careful, step-by-step protocol for accuracy and long-term durability.
During your first visit, all clinical planning and tooth preparation are completed.
- Clinical check-up and digital X-ray.
- Discussion about symptoms, expectations, and crown material options.
- Tooth preparation under local anaesthesia.
- Removal of any decay or weak old fillings.
- Digital scan or impression of your tooth and bite.
- Placement of a temporary crown to protect your tooth until the final one is ready.
This visit ensures your tooth is fully prepared and your crown is designed accurately.
Your second visit focuses on fitting and permanently placing your custom crown.
- The final crown is tried in and checked for exact fit.
- Shade, shape and bite are verified.
- Minor adjustments are made if needed.
- The crown is permanently cemented once everything is accurate.
- You receive instructions for care and comfort.
After this visit, your tooth is fully restored, protected and ready for normal chewing.
Same-day crowns are made using CAD/CAM technology, where a scanner captures digital images of your tooth and an in-office CEREC unit designs and mills a ceramic crown on the spot. The entire process scanning, designing, milling, trial, and cementation is completed in about 15 minutes, allowing you to leave with a permanent crown in a single visit.

What is the cost of a dental crown in Hyderabad, and what affects it?
For a dental crown in Hyderabad, prices per unit are: Nickel-Chromium ₹4,000; PFM ₹7,000; Zirconia ₹8,000–₹18,000 (Basic/Monolith/Platinum Plus); All-ceramic ₹15,000–₹18,000.

Which crown is best—zirconia, all-ceramic (E-max), or PFM?
A zirconia crown in Hyderabad is usually chosen for strength on back teeth; all-ceramic/E-max excels for front-tooth aesthetics; PFM balances durability and budget. Your dentist confirms the ideal option after clinical exam, digital scan, and bite analysis to match function, look, and cost.
Can I get a same-day CAD/CAM crown in Hyderabad?
Yes—same-day CAD/CAM crowns are available for eligible cases. Workflow: scan → chairside design → mill → fit in one visit; complex cases use a short two-visit plan. If you’re searching dental crown near me or comparing dental crown in Kukatpally, we’ll confirm suitability during your consult.
How long does a crown last, and what aftercare is required?
With proper planning and hygiene, crowns are long-lasting. Expect brief sensitivity (24–48h); avoid very hard/sticky foods initially, maintain brushing/flossing, and attend bite/margin checks. This applies whether you book a dental crown in Manikonda or a dental crown in Kondapur.
Do I need a crown after a root canal, and how soon can it be placed?
Most root-canal-treated teeth benefit from a crown to prevent fractures and restore function. Once symptoms settle and the core build-up is complete, we can place a same-day CAD/CAM crown (if suitable) or proceed with a precise two-visit plan, even when you’re considering a dental crown in Banjara Hills.
