Strong, Long-Lasting & Cost-Effective Dental Crowns at i-Smile Charitable Dental Clinic
A damaged, broken, or weakened tooth does not always need to be removed. In many cases, it can be restored with a metal dental crown, providing excellent strength, durability, and long-term protection. At i-Smile Charitable Dental Clinic, Gurgaon, we offer high-quality metal crowns that are ideal for back teeth, root canal-treated teeth, and patients seeking a reliable and affordable restoration.
Our experienced dentists carefully assess your dental condition and recommend the most suitable crown material based on function, aesthetics, and budget.
What Is a Metal Crown?
A metal crown is a custom-made cap that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth's strength, shape, and function while protecting it from further fracture or wear.
Metal crowns are made from strong dental alloys designed to withstand heavy chewing forces. They are particularly recommended for molars and premolars, where durability is more important than appearance.
Unlike fillings, which restore only a portion of the tooth, a crown covers the entire visible portion above the gum line, providing comprehensive protection.
Types of Metal Crowns We Offer

Stainless Steel Crowns
Stainless steel crowns are commonly used as temporary restorations or for children's primary teeth requiring full coverage.

When Is a Metal Crown Recommended?

- A severely decayed tooth
- A fractured tooth
- A large filling that has weakened the tooth
- A tooth treated with root canal therapy
- Excessive tooth wear
- Cracked tooth syndrome
- Broken cusps
- Teeth affected by grinding (bruxism)
Benefits of Metal Crowns
Exceptional Strength
Metal crowns are among the strongest restorations available and can withstand years of chewing forces.
Long Lifespan
With proper care, metal crowns often last 15–20 years or even longer.
Minimal Tooth Preparation
Compared with some other crown materials, less healthy tooth structure may need to be removed.
Excellent Fit
Metal crowns can be fabricated with very precise margins, helping reduce the risk of leakage.
Affordable Solution
Metal crowns are generally less expensive than ceramic and zirconia alternatives.
Wear Resistance
They are highly resistant to fractures and chipping.
Are Metal Crowns Safe?
Yes. Dental metal alloys have been used successfully for decades and are considered safe for most patients.
If you have a known allergy to specific metals, please inform your dentist so that an appropriate alternative material can be recommended.
Metal Crown Procedure
Step 1 – Consultation
The dentist examines your tooth and may recommend digital X-rays if needed.
Step 2 – Tooth Preparation
The damaged tooth is reshaped to accommodate the crown while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Step 3 – Impression or Digital Scan
An impression or digital scan is taken to fabricate a custom-fit crown.
Step 4 – Temporary Crown
If required, a temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is being fabricated.
Step 5 – Crown Placement
The final metal crown is checked for fit, bite, and comfort before being permanently cemented.
Metal Crowns After Root Canal Treatment
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment become more brittle over time.
A metal crown helps:
- Prevent fractures
- Restore chewing ability
- Protect the remaining tooth structure
- Extend the life of the treated tooth

Frequently Asked Questions
Are metal crowns better than zirconia crowns?
Metal crowns are generally stronger and more economical, while zirconia crowns offer superior aesthetics. The right choice depends on the tooth's location and your priorities.
Can metal crowns be used on front teeth?
They can be, but because of their metallic appearance, tooth-coloured materials such as zirconia or porcelain are usually preferred for front teeth.
Will a metal crown rust?
No. Dental metal alloys are designed to resist corrosion in the mouth.
Are metal crowns painful?
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, and most patients experience only mild temporary sensitivity afterward.
How many visits are required?
Most cases require two visits:
- Tooth preparation and impressions.
- Placement of the permanent crown.
Can I eat normally with a metal crown?
Yes. Once the crown is permanently cemented, you can eat most foods comfortably. However, avoid biting very hard objects such as ice or pens.
