Dental Crowns & Bridges in Lahore: Cost, Types & Care

Dr. Saleh Rafaqat

Smile Heaven Dental Clinic, Lahore

When a tooth is badly damaged, cracked or missing, dental crowns and bridges are two of the most reliable ways to restore your smile and bite. They protect weak teeth, fill gaps and look completely natural when done well. Here's a clear guide to crowns and bridges in Lahore — including types, cost and care.

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown — sometimes called a tooth cap — is a custom cover placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after a root canal, on a cracked tooth, or to cover a large filling that has weakened a tooth.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the natural teeth (or crowns) on either side of the gap. It restores your ability to chew and speak properly and prevents the surrounding teeth from drifting out of position.

Types of crowns

All-ceramic / porcelain crowns — the most natural-looking, ideal for front teeth.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal — strong with a natural appearance.
Metal crowns — extremely durable, often used for back teeth.
Zirconia crowns — strong and aesthetic, a premium option.

The crown and bridge procedure

Treatment usually takes two visits. First, the tooth is gently prepared and an impression is taken so your crown or bridge can be custom-made to match your other teeth. A temporary cover protects the tooth in the meantime. At the second visit, the permanent crown or bridge is fitted and adjusted for a comfortable bite.

How much do crowns and bridges cost in Lahore?

At Smile Heaven, ceramic crowns start from around Rs. 15,000, with bridge pricing depending on the number of teeth and the material chosen. As always, you'll receive a clear, written quote after your consultation — no hidden costs.

Caring for crowns and bridges

With good care, crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or more. Brush twice daily, clean carefully around the bridge (special floss helps), avoid biting very hard objects, and keep up your six-monthly check-ups so your dentist can keep everything in top condition.

Frequently asked questions

How long do dental crowns last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental crowns typically last 10–15 years, and often longer. Avoiding very hard foods and night-time grinding helps them last even longer.

Is getting a crown or bridge painful?

No. The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia during preparation, so the process is painless. Some patients feel mild sensitivity afterwards, which settles quickly.
