Dental Crowns in Gurgaon
Dental crowns — commonly called teeth caps — protect damaged, cracked, or root canal treated teeth. At Center for Dental Implants & Esthetics, every crown is digitally scanned and made in a certified dental laboratory. All crowns come with a written lab warranty. Sector 51 (near Artemis Hospital) & Sector 74 (near Medanta), Gurgaon.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that fits over your existing tooth. Think of it like a helmet — it covers and protects the tooth from all sides.
In India, crowns are commonly called teeth caps. Both words mean exactly the same thing — a protective cover placed over a damaged tooth.
From the gum line upward — protects all surfaces
Tooth functions normally again after crown placement
Not removable — works like a natural tooth
Depending on material and lab quality
When Do You Need a Dental Crown?
Your dentist will recommend a crown when the tooth structure is weakened, damaged, or needs a complete restoration. Here are the most common situations.
Crown After RCT (Root Canal Treatment)
- RCT removes the nerve — tooth becomes brittle
- Crown prevents the tooth from cracking after RCT
- Strongly recommended for molars & premolars
- Without a crown, a root canal treated tooth often breaks
Cracked or Broken Molar
- Crack spreads deeper if left untreated
- Crown holds the tooth together
- Stops pain while chewing
- Prevents extraction
Large Decay or Old Filling
- Too much tooth lost for a filling to hold
- Old metal fillings that keep breaking
- Decay that reaches deep into the tooth
- Crown covers and seals the tooth completely
On a Dental Implant
- Implant screw sits in the jaw bone
- Crown is the visible tooth on top
- Same crown materials apply
- Add ₹1,500 to standard crown cost
Cosmetic Improvement
- Severely stained or discoloured tooth
- Misshapen or worn down tooth
- Gap closure in some cases
- When veneers are not suitable
As Part of a Bridge
- Missing tooth replaced with a bridge
- Two crowns on adjacent teeth support the bridge
- Non-implant tooth replacement option
- Fixed — not removable
“Crown always means root canal first.”
A crown can be placed on a healthy tooth too — for cracks, heavy wear, cosmetic reasons, or implants. Root canal is only needed if the nerve is infected.

- Specific cases root canal check — is it needed or not?
Tooth Preparation
- Local anaesthesia (if needed) — you feel nothing

Your Crown Is Made in a Lab.
The Lab Determines the Quality.
Your dentist shapes the tooth. But the crown itself is made in a dental laboratory. Two crowns that look identical on day one can perform very differently by year five.
Lab Certification
- Certified lab = audited, traceable materials
- Any lab can print a warranty card
- Only IAL labs follow international quality protocols
- We name our lab before you sit in the chair
The Technician Skill
- Shade matching is a skilled, manual process
- Poor technician = colour mismatch, rough edges
- Dentcare and Illusion employ prosthodontic-trained technicians
- You cannot see this difference on day one
Material Purity
- Zirconia is not just zirconia — grade and purity vary
- Certified labs use FDA-approved, traceable blanks
- Cheap imports look fine at first — problems appear later
- No way to verify material without lab documentation
CAD/CAM Precision
- 5-axis milling gives a near-perfect marginal fit
- Poor fit = bacteria entering under the crown
- Results in decay under a crown years later
- Not visible to the eye — appears on X-ray
Warranty Portability
- Local lab warranty = valid only at this one clinic
- Change dentist or move city — warranty is void
- IAL warranty = claimable at any associated dentist in India
- Your crown moves with you
- Lab name not disclosed to patient
- Material certification not shared
- Warranty void if you change clinic
- Unverified or uncertified materials
- No audit trail on quality
- ISO 13485 · MDR · US FDA certified

“When a patient asks me which crown to choose, I ask three questions first — which tooth, how long do you want it to last, and what is your budget? A metal cap on a hidden molar is a perfectly sensible choice. A 25-year warranty zirconia on a front tooth is right for someone else. My job is to help you decide honestly — not to push the most expensive option.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from patients at our Sector 51 and Sector 74 clinics in Gurgaon.
What is a dental crown and when is it needed?
A dental crown (also called a tooth cap) is a tooth-shaped cover placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. It is recommended when:
- The tooth has had a root canal treatment (RCT)
- The tooth is cracked or heavily decayed
- A large filling has failed and there is not enough tooth structure left
- The tooth is on a dental implant
- Cosmetic improvement is needed on a discoloured or misshapen tooth
Is a crown necessary after root canal treatment (RCT)?
Yes, a crown is almost always necessary after root canal treatment on a back tooth. The root canal removes the nerve and hollows the tooth, making it brittle and prone to fracture. A crown holds the tooth together and protects it from breaking. Without a crown, a root canal treated molar can crack within 1–2 years.
- Front teeth — sometimes manageable without a crown, at the dentist’s discretion
- Molars and premolars — crown is strongly recommended in almost all cases
- Without a crown, the tooth is at high risk of cracking and needing extraction

How long does a zirconia crown last?
A well-made zirconia crown lasts 15–25 years and sometimes longer. A 2025 study in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry found monolithic zirconia crowns had a 10-year survival rate of 86%. Longevity depends mainly on lab quality, bite forces, and oral hygiene.
- Zirconia (local lab): 10–15 years typically
- Zirconia (Illusion IAL lab): 15–20 years with warranty
- Zirconia (Dentcare lab): 15–25+ years with up to 25-year warranty
Key factors affecting lifespan: oral hygiene, whether you grind your teeth at night, and the quality of materials used in the lab.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
No, a dental crown procedure is not painful. It is done under local anaesthesia, which numbs the tooth completely. You may feel pressure but not pain. After the anaesthesia wears off, mild sensitivity for 2–3 days is normal and settles on its own.
- Mild sensitivity after the temporary crown — settles within a few days
- Slight tenderness when biting — usually resolves on its own
- Cold sensitivity — typically resolves within a week
Most patients describe the experience as much easier than they expected.
What is the difference between zirconia and ceramic (PFM) crown?
Both look tooth-coloured but they are fundamentally different:
- PFM crown: Metal core with porcelain baked on top — can show a dark line at the gum over time
- Zirconia crown: 100% metal-free ceramic — no dark line, no allergy risk, stronger and more natural looking
- Cost: Zirconia costs more but performs significantly better long-term
- For front teeth: Zirconia is almost always the better choice
See full comparison: Zirconia Crown in Gurgaon →
Does a crown require a root canal first?
No — a crown does not always require a root canal. Root canal is only needed if the inner nerve (pulp) is infected or dead. A crown can be placed on:
- A live tooth with a crack or heavy decay
- A worn down or cosmetically imperfect tooth
- A dental implant (no nerve involved at all)
However, after a root canal treatment, a crown is strongly recommended to protect the now-brittle tooth.
What is the cost of a zirconia crown in Gurgaon?
Zirconia crown cost in Gurgaon ranges from ₹10,500 to ₹19,000 depending on the lab, warranty period, and type of zirconia. Basic zirconia from a local lab starts around ₹10,500. Premium monolithic zirconia from certified labs like Dentcare with 15–25 year warranty costs ₹15,500–₹19,000.
- Metal cap: ₹4,500 – ₹5,500
- PFM / ceramic cap: ₹6,800 – ₹9,000
- Zirconia crown: ₹10,500 – ₹19,000 (depends on lab and warranty tier)
- Emax crown: ₹15,000 (front teeth only)
- Implant crown: Add ₹1,500 to any crown price above
All prices are fixed — what you see is what you pay. See full price list →
Is zirconia crown safe? Does it cause any allergy?
Zirconia is one of the safest dental materials available:
- Completely metal-free — zero allergy risk
- Biocompatible — the body does not react to it
- Does not corrode or release ions into gum tissue
- No gum discolouration over time — a known issue with older PFM crowns
- From a certified lab with FDA-approved material — the current gold standard
How many appointments does a dental crown take?
Typically 2 appointments over 5–7 working days:
- Appointment 1: Examination, tooth preparation, digital scan, temporary crown — all in one visit
- 5–7 day gap: Certified lab makes your permanent crown
- Appointment 2: Final crown placed, bite checked, warranty card issued
No third appointment needed in most cases.
What happens if my crown falls off or breaks?
Stay calm — this is manageable. Here is what to do:
- Keep the crown safely — do not discard it
- Do not try to glue it yourself at home
- Avoid chewing on that side
- Visit your dentist within 1–2 days
- If recently placed — it may just need re-cementing
- If broken — a replacement is needed; warranty may cover material failure
