Crowns & Veneers in Sector 15, Gurugram
A cracked tooth, an old filling that keeps breaking, a chipped front tooth, or teeth that look uneven in photos are all common reasons patients in Sector 15 come in to ask about crowns and veneers. Both are ways of restoring or reshaping a tooth from the outside, but they are used for different problems, and knowing the difference helps you understand what your dentist recommends and why.
What crowns and veneers actually do
A crown is a cap that covers the whole visible part of a tooth. It is usually suggested when a tooth is cracked, has had root canal treatment, has a large old filling that is failing, or is simply too weak to bite on safely without extra support. A veneer is a thin shell placed mainly on the front surface of a tooth. It is generally used for cosmetic concerns such as chips, staining that has not responded to whitening, small gaps, or teeth that look slightly misshapen, provided the tooth itself is otherwise healthy.
Neither treatment is right for every situation, which is why an in-person examination and X-rays usually come before any decision.
What happens visit by visit
First visit: examination and planning
Your dentist checks the tooth, takes X-rays if needed, and discusses whether a crown, a veneer, or another treatment fits your case best. If the tooth needs prior treatment, such as a filling or root canal, that is addressed first.
Second visit: preparation and impressions
The tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the crown or veneer, and impressions or digital scans are taken. A temporary crown or veneer is placed so you can eat and speak comfortably while the permanent one is made.
Final visit: fitting
The permanent crown or veneer is checked for fit, bite and appearance, adjusted if needed, and then cemented in place.
What changes the cost from case to case
There is no single price for crowns and veneers because each case is different. Factors that affect cost include the material used, the number of teeth being treated, whether any preparatory work like a filling or root canal is needed first, and the complexity of your bite. Rather than quoting a figure here, we keep our starting prices on our price list page, and your dentist will give you a clear estimate once they have examined your teeth.
Aftercare that helps it last
- Brush twice daily and floss gently around the treated tooth, taking care near the gum line.
- Avoid biting directly on very hard foods, ice, or non-food objects like pen caps.
- If you grind your teeth at night, ask about a night guard to protect the crown or veneer.
- Keep up with regular dental check-ups so any wear or loosening is caught early.
Why a trusted local clinic matters
Crowns and veneers involve decisions about tooth preparation, material choice and fit that are easier to get right when your dentist can examine you in person, review your bite over time, and be reachable if something feels off afterward. Being able to walk into a clinic in your own neighbourhood in Sector 15 for a check, an adjustment, or simply to ask a question adds a layer of reassurance that matters for a treatment meant to last for years.

Frequently asked questions
How is a crown different from a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when a tooth is weak, broken, root-treated, or heavily filled. A veneer covers mainly the front surface and is used to improve the shape, colour or alignment of a tooth that is otherwise structurally sound. Your dentist will examine the tooth and X-rays before suggesting which one suits your case.
Does getting a crown or veneer hurt?
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia before any preparation, so the procedure itself should not be painful. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterward is common and usually settles on its own or with simple care.
How long does a crown or veneer last?
With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and avoiding habits like biting hard objects or grinding, crowns and veneers can last many years. Lifespan varies by material, bite pressure and how well they are cared for.
How much will my crown or veneer cost?
Cost depends on the material chosen, the number of teeth involved, and the condition of the tooth underneath. Our price list page lists our starting prices, and we will confirm exact costs after your examination.
