A broken tooth, a tooth weakened by a large filling or root canal treatment, or a gap where a tooth used to be can all make eating uncomfortable and affect how you feel about your smile.
Apollo Dental Care offers zirconia crown and dental bridge treatment in Patna on Boring Road. Zirconia crowns are strong, tooth-coloured and metal-free, and bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth. We examine your teeth and bite, explain which option suits you, and give you a clear estimate before we begin.
Zirconia crown
A crown, or cap, is a custom-made covering that fits over a tooth and restores its shape, strength and appearance. Zirconia is a strong ceramic material that contains no metal. It is available in different shades and levels of translucency, so it can be matched to your natural teeth. A zirconia crown is often used for teeth that are broken, worn, heavily filled, or have had a root canal.
Dental bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is made of artificial teeth held in place by crowns on the teeth next to the gap, or by dental implants. A bridge restores your chewing, supports your smile and helps stop nearby teeth from drifting into the space.
In simple terms: a crown protects a tooth you still have, and a bridge replaces a tooth that is missing.
From your first consultation to the final fitting, we explain each stage so you know what to expect during your dental treatment.
We examine your teeth, gums and bite, take X-rays when needed, and discuss whether a zirconia crown or dental bridge is suitable for your dental condition.
We explain the available treatment options, materials, expected number of visits and estimated cost. You can ask questions before deciding how to proceed.
After administering local anaesthesia when appropriate, the dentist carefully reshapes the affected tooth or supporting teeth to create space for the crown or bridge.
We take an impression or digital scan of your teeth. This information helps the dental laboratory create a crown or bridge designed to fit your bite and smile.
When required, a temporary crown or bridge protects the prepared teeth while your permanent restoration is being made.
We check the crown or bridge for fit, bite and colour. After making any necessary adjustments, the restoration is securely cemented or fixed in place.
We guide you on brushing, flossing and cleaning around your restoration. Regular dental check-ups help monitor its condition and support long-term oral health.
Most zirconia crowns and dental bridges require two or more visits. The exact number depends on your dental condition, laboratory time and individual treatment plan.

A zirconia crown usually costs around ₹8,000 to ₹18,000 per tooth, depending on the material, dental laboratory and complexity of your case. We provide a clear estimate after examining your tooth and discussing your treatment needs.
The cost of a dental bridge depends on the number of units, material used and condition of the supporting teeth. After your consultation and examination, we explain the recommended treatment and provide a cost estimate for your case.
Zirconia crowns are metal-free and can provide a natural appearance. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are another option and may be more economical. The right choice depends on your tooth, bite, appearance preferences and budget.
A zirconia crown can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Its lifespan depends on your bite, teeth-grinding habits, daily care and the condition of the tooth underneath.
Local anaesthesia is used when needed during tooth preparation, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild sensitivity or gum soreness afterwards may occur for a few days. Contact your dentist if the discomfort persists or worsens.
A crown is often recommended after root canal treatment, especially for back teeth that handle greater chewing forces. It helps protect the treated tooth from cracking. Your dentist will assess how much tooth structure remains before recommending a restoration.
Crown and bridge treatment usually requires two or more visits. The exact number depends on tooth preparation, laboratory fabrication, fitting and any additional treatment required.
A dental crown covers and protects an existing tooth that needs restoration. A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth and is usually supported by neighbouring teeth or other suitable supports.
Neither option is best for everyone. A bridge may offer a quicker treatment route and a lower initial cost, while an implant can replace a tooth without relying on neighbouring teeth for support. Your bone health, oral condition, budget and treatment goals help determine the right option.
Yes, a well-designed crown can blend naturally with your smile. Your dentist considers the shade, shape and size of nearby teeth. Zirconia crowns are available in different levels of translucency to suit different teeth and aesthetic needs.
Although uncommon, a crown or bridge can become loose because of cement failure, heavy biting forces or decay around a supporting tooth. Contact your dentist if it moves, feels loose or causes discomfort. Avoid chewing hard foods on it until it is checked.
