Restore Your Smile With Crowns at Dr. Mukund Tawari Clinics-Malad.
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth — to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, and strength, and improve its appearance.
The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

Root canal treatment Services in Malad-Mumbai. Root canal treatment consists of several steps that take place over several office visits, depending on the situation. These steps are:
Temporary crowns: these crowns are acrylic or metal alloy.They cover the tooth while a permanent crown is being created in our in-house dental lab. (i.e Dr. Mukund Tawari-Malad, Mumbai)
Stainless steel crowns: These are prefabricated crowns that are used on permanent and baby teeth. Stainless steel crowns are generally used for children’s teeth because they are cost-effective and can be put on in one visit. The crown covers the entire tooth and protects it from further decay. When the primary tooth comes out to make room for the permanent tooth, the crown comes out naturally with it
Metal crowns : These crowns can be made from cast gold alloys or cast silver palladium alloys. With a metal crown, less tooth structure needs to be removed and the wear on opposing teeth is minimal. Metal crowns with stand biting and chewing well and last the longest. They also rarely chip or break. The metallic color is the main drawback. Metal crowns are a good choice for out-of-sight molars.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns: Best Dental Crowns Services In Malad-Mumbai,by Dr. Mukund Tawari. These dental crowns contain an inner metal casting with porcelain baked over it. They look natural and can be very aesthetic. Occasionally they may chip and show the underlying metal. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth
All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide better natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
