Dental Cap Treatment in Banjara Hills

We begin with a full dental exam and X-rays to see how much natural tooth remains and whether the root needs treatment first. Our prosthodontist checks your bite, photographs your smile and discusses goals such as colour, length and shape. For complex cases, we may advise CBCT imaging to understand bone and root support. This stage is included within your treatment planning, and we give you a written plan that outlines the sequence and expected chair time.

On the preparation visit, we numb the tooth and surrounding gum so you mainly feel vibration and water, not sharp pain. We then carefully trim the tooth in all directions, creating space for the crown material while keeping as much strong tooth structure as possible. We smooth the margins for accurate fit and manage any old fillings that need replacement. All trimming is part of the core cap fee, not a separate add-on.

After shaping, we take either a traditional putty impression or a digital scan, depending on the case. This records every surface where the crown must grip and seal. We then select shade using a physical shade guide under natural light and photos, especially for front teeth. We often reference any planned Dental Cap Treatment in Hyderabad across multiple teeth to keep everything consistent. This impression and shade work sits within the main treatment cost.

Before you leave Eledent Banjara Hills, we place a temporary crown made from tooth-coloured material to shield the prepared tooth. This temporary is cemented with a weaker cement so we can remove it easily later. You can chew softer foods, but we ask you to avoid very sticky or hard items on that side. This temporary phase is built into the treatment, so you’re never left with a bare prepared tooth while the lab fabricates your final crown.

At the next visit, we remove the temporary crown and try in your final crown. We check fit on the tooth, contact with neighbouring teeth and your bite in different movements. Any high spots are adjusted chairside. Once you and our prosthodontist are satisfied with the look and feel, we cement the crown with a strong dental cement. This visit typically completes the main active treatment and doesn’t normally add separate fees unless major remakes are needed.

We schedule a short review visit to confirm the gum around the crown has settled and chewing feels normal. At this appointment, we show you how to floss around the crown margins and what kind of brush and toothpaste to use. If you grind your teeth, we may advise a nightguard to protect the new work. The review helps catch early issues while adjustments are still simple and usually forms part of your planned course of care.
