Dental Crowns and Bridges In Chennai

At Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic Tambaram, Chennai we specialize in dental crowns and bridges  to restore your teeth’s natural structure, function, and appearance. Whether you need to repair a damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, our advanced treatments provide strength, durability, and a natural look.

Metal Crown In Chennai

If someone is looking for a long-term and durable solution, metal crowns  are the answer. Nickel chromium composition is used for metal crown as they bond well with the tooth. They can withstand strong chewing forces and biting, lasting longer without wearing down easily. However, since they are visible, they are best suited for molars.

At Best Dental Clinic – Dr N Deenadayalan T Nagar, Chennai and Dr Julian’s Laser Dental Clinic Tambaram, Chennai, we recommend metal crowns for patients who value strength, durability, and functionality over aesthetics, especially in the back teeth where chewing forces are strongest.

Metal Crown – Dental Crowns and Bridges

Advantages of Metal Crowns

  • Extremely durable and long-lasting – Metal crowns can last 15–20 years or more with proper care.
  • Minimal tooth reduction – Compared to other crown types, less natural tooth structure needs to be removed.
  • Highly resistant to damage – Rarely chip or break, even under strong chewing forces.
  • Gentle on opposing teeth – Reduces wear and tear on the teeth that bite against them.
  • Ideal for back teeth – Best suited for molars and premolars where strength is more important than appearance.

Who Should Consider Metal Crowns?

  • Patients who grind or clench teeth (bruxism) – Metal crowns can withstand heavy forces without damage.

  • Individuals with heavily damaged back teeth – Provides strong support and restores proper function.

  • Patients seeking a cost-effective, durable solution – Long-lasting option that balances strength with affordability.

  • Those prioritizing function over aesthetics – Perfect for teeth that are less visible but need maximum durability.

While metal crowns  may not have the natural tooth-like appearance of ceramic or zirconia crowns, they are one of the most reliable solutions for protecting back teeth and ensuring long-term oral health.
