Two to threeSittings for most crowns and bridges
Shade matchedChecked against the teeth beside it
Crowns and bridges at Radiant 32 are planned from an impression of your own teeth, so the fit and the shade are not guessed at. Dr Madhulika Purkait examines the tooth or the gap first, then decides whether a crown, a bridge or an implant supported option is the better fit before any preparation begins.
Tell us about the tooth or the gap that is bothering you and the clinic calls back during working hours with a slot. Nothing is charged to book the consultation fee of 500 rupees is paid at the clinic.
Don't wait out these signs of a weakened or missing tooth. If any sound familiar, book a check - early treatment is smaller, faster and cheaper than treatment delayed.
A tooth that has cracked from an old filling, an injury or grinding usually needs a crown to hold it together and stop the crack spreading.
When a filling covers most of the tooth, there is often too little natural tooth left to bite on safely without a crown over it.
A gap left by a missing tooth lets the teeth beside and opposite it drift out of position, which a bridge is built to prevent.
A tooth that has had root canal treatment becomes brittle afterwards a crown is what protects it from cracking under normal biting force.
A crown covers a weakened tooth completely, restoring its shape and letting it take normal biting force again. A bridge does the same job across a gap, anchored to the healthy teeth on either side so a missing tooth doesn't leave a visible space.
Both are built from an impression of your own teeth, so the finished piece sits naturally against the teeth beside it rather than standing out as an obvious repair.
Radiant 32 provides crowns and bridges in Bhowanipore, Kolkata for teeth weakened by decay, injury, heavy fillings or root canal treatment for gaps left by missing teeth.
Dr Purkait completed her BDS at Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences and Research in Kolkata in 2015 and has spent eleven years treating patients in Bhowanipore and across South Kolkata since. She is registered with the West Bengal State Dental Council under number 4324A.
Her day to day work is the ordinary, useful kind: cleanings that stop gums bleeding, root canals that save a tooth already written off, crowns and bridges that let people chew on both sides again. Patients on Practo mention two things repeatedly, that the treatment stayed comfortable and that the clinic is clean.
Three stages cover every crown and bridge fitted at the clinic, from the first exam to the final fitting.
The tooth or gap is examined and an X-ray is taken to decide whether a crown, a bridge or an implant supported option fits best.
The tooth is shaped to hold the crown or bridge securely an impression is taken so it is built to match the bite exactly.
The finished crown or bridge is checked against the neighbouring teeth for shade and fit, then cemented in and adjusted until the bite feels right.
Most crowns and bridges at Radiant 32 are completed in two to three sittings. The first sitting prepares the tooth and takes the impression a temporary crown or bridge protects it while the permanent piece is made. The material, whether metal ceramic or zirconia, is chosen and discussed before work begins, so there are no surprises once the final piece arrives. The final sitting fits and adjusts the finished crown or bridge until the bite feels right, checking it against the neighbouring teeth for shade and shape before it is permanently cemented in. Nothing is left loose, high against the opposite teeth noticeably different from the teeth beside it.
Three reasons patients choose Radiant 32 for crowns and bridges, again and again in reviews and at the chair.
Every crown and bridge fitted at Radiant 32 is planned from an impression of your own teeth, personally overseen by Dr Madhulika Purkait.
The crown or bridge is checked against the teeth beside it in daylight before it is finally cemented in.
The same dentist plans, prepares and fits the crown or bridge, so nothing is repeated or handed to a locum.
A tooth that has cracked, been heavily filled or been lost altogether rarely gets better on its own the surrounding teeth often start shifting to fill the gap. A crown restores a weakened tooth to full strength a bridge closes a missing gap without surgery.
Most crowns and bridges at Radiant 32 finish in two to three sittings, with the shade and fit checked against the teeth beside it before anything is permanently cemented in.
Recovery is usually straightforward. These four points cover what actually matters in the first few days.
Mild sensitivity to hot and cold for a few days after fitting is normal and settles on its own.
Avoid biting directly into hard or sticky foods on a new crown or bridge for the first couple of days.
Floss or a small interdental brush is used to clean under a bridge daily, since the gum below still needs care.
Regular check-ups let any small change in fit be caught early, well before it becomes a bigger repair.
Every crown or bridge at Radiant 32 starts with a proper look, not a guess. Dr Madhulika Purkait examines the tooth or the gap and takes an X-ray to check the root and the bone underneath before deciding whether a crown, a bridge or an implant supported option is the right fit. The condition of the neighbouring teeth and the gum is checked too, since both affect how well the finished piece will sit and last. Every instrument comes from a sealed sterilised pouch, opened at the chair in front of you, so nothing about the procedure is a mystery or left unexplained.
A cracked, heavily filled or missing tooth rarely improves on its own treatment is almost always smaller and cheaper the earlier it's caught. Call the clinic or leave your number and Radiant 32 will call you back with a slot that fits your week.
Five answers to the questions patients ask most before a crown or bridge. Anything else, call the clinic and ask.
A well fitted crown or bridge typically lasts eight to fifteen years with regular brushing, flossing and check-ups, sometimes longer.
Most cases take two to three sittings, from the first preparation to the final fitting once the crown or bridge has been made.
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before any shaping starts, so the appointment itself feels similar to a filling. Any soreness afterwards is usually mild.
It depends on the material chosen and the number of teeth involved. At Radiant 32, the exact cost is confirmed in writing after the exam, so nothing is estimated over the phone.
Both replace a missing tooth well. A bridge is usually quicker and does not need surgery, while an implant does not rely on the teeth beside the gap. Which one suits you best is discussed at the exam.
