Are you dealing with a damaged or missing tooth? At Epione Dental Care, we specialize in crown replacement, dental implants and crowns, and advanced bridgework to help restore your natural smile and chewing ability. With our custom treatment plans and precision dentistry, we help you regain confidence—one tooth at a time.
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile. They can affect your bite, speech, jawbone health, and self-esteem. That’s why our Pondicherry-based dental team offers cutting-edge options, including dental implants and bridges, and urable dental teeth caps, tailored to your oral health needs.
Whether you need a single dental cap or a full-mouth solution, we make sure your treatment is painless, lasting, and aesthetically pleasing.
For those looking for a long-term answer to tooth loss, dental implants and crowns provide the closest match to natural teeth. The process involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a root substitute. Once healed, a custom-made crown is placed on top, blending perfectly with your existing teeth.
This solution is ideal for patients with missing teeth due to injury, decay, or failed root canals. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants and crowns are fixed, comfortable, and allow you to chew, smile, and speak without hesitation.
If you’ve lost multiple teeth in a row, we also offer dental implants and bridges, which use implant-supported crowns to replace a group of missing teeth. This hybrid method ensures strength, aesthetics, and bone preservation.
Many patients worry about dental crown pricing, but we offer affordable packages without compromising on materials or technology. We believe quality dental care should be accessible to everyone in Pondicherry.
Dental crowns typically last for many years, but they aren’t designed to last forever. You may need a crown replacement if your existing crown is:
At Epione Dental Care, we evaluate the condition of your crown and determine whether repair or full crown replacement is the best solution. Our advanced imaging tools allow us to precisely match the shape, colour, and fit of your new dental teeth caps with your natural smile.
Replacing an old or faulty crown not only improves aesthetics but also prevents further oral health issues like gum disease or bacterial infections.
One of the most common questions we hear is: “How long do crowns and bridges last?” The answer depends on several factors, including the type of material used, your oral hygiene habits, and whether you grind your teeth.
On average:
If you’ve received dental implants and bridges, the implant posts themselves can last a lifetime, while the prosthetic crowns or bridge units may require periodic updates.
To increase the longevity of your dental caps, we recommend:
Dental bridges, also known as fixed removable dentures, literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A typical bridge is made up of two crowns (one on either side of the gap) and a false tooth/teeth in between. Bridges are attached to surrounding natural teeth or dental implants for support. The anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth and the false teeth are called pontics. Pontics can be made from porcelain, alloys, gold or a combination on materials.
If you have lost a tooth/teeth, bridges can restore your smile, your ability to properly speak and chew and maintain your facial structure. Bridges can also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
How long does dental bridges last? Depending on which type of bridge your dentist suggests, its success depends on the foundation. This is why it’s vital to keep your remaining teeth strong and healthy. On the average, dental bridges can last five to seven years. With good oral hygiene and regular professional cleaning, a fixed bridge can even last for over a decade.
Crowns, veneers and bridges can be made of various metals, high strength ceramics or a combination of both. Different types are suitable for different people and in different areas of the mouth, and different aesthetic demands. The quality and appearance of your crown is not dependent on what it’s made of, its dependent of the skill and artistry of how it’s made.
On average fixed restorations lasts 7-15 years. This time can be reduced if you do not clean the teeth properly and allow gum disease or dental decay to affect the teeth. Also trauma can damage restorations in the same way it damages natural teeth.
No, teeth often receive crowns without a root canal.
Not necessarily. If the teeth either side of a gap require crowns is may be more sensible and economical to have a bridge.
No, only the best quality crowns, bridges and veneers are used for all patients. We use different labs for different cases because some labs can recreate teeth for younger people, older people, or bleached teeth better than others. Under no circumstance do we use inferior medical devices even if they are cheaper.
No, good crowns look highly realistic and can match to you existing teeth very well. If however you want a Hollywood smile you can have that also.
First the area is numbed with local anesthetic. The teeth are prepared so a restoration can fit over them. This preparation is important and detailed work, and takes time. After this an impression is made of the prepared teeth and the teeth in the opposite jaw in order to get the correct bite. These impressions are send to one of our high quality dental laboratories to have the restorations manufactured. During this phase you wear a plastic temporary crown, bridge or veneer that looks like teeth. When they are returned to us, we try them in and check they fit properly, bite properly and look good to you and us. If everything is good, the restoration is cemented permanently onto your teeth.
This will depend on your situation and clinical needs. A good quality restoration will take several weeks to be manufactured meaning that you will need at least two appointments several weeks apart. You have a temporary crown or bridge in the meantime.
