Dental crowns cap a damaged, root-treated or worn tooth to restore strength and appearance. The two most common choices are metal-ceramic and zirconia. At Astra Dental Care, crowns start from ₹3,000, with warranty options.
Metal-ceramic crowns
A metal base with a ceramic outer layer — strong and affordable. They look good, though a thin dark line can sometimes appear at the gum over time. A reliable, budget-friendly option for back teeth.
Zirconia crowns
Metal-free, tooth-coloured and extremely strong. Zirconia looks the most natural and is excellent for front teeth and patients who want the best aesthetics. It resists chipping and is highly durable.
