Many adult children in Akhbar Nagar first notice a parent's dental trouble at the dinner table. Chapatis are cut into small pieces, one side of the mouth is avoided, or a front tooth has quietly chipped. Teeth worn down over decades, or broken around old fillings, rarely fix themselves. At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, we see older patients with exactly these problems and help them chew comfortably again with well-fitted crowns and bridges.
A crown is a cap that covers and protects a weakened tooth, while a bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth by resting on the teeth beside it. For older patients, the choice depends on how strong the remaining teeth and gums are. Dr. Prattik Kkeswani, our prosthodontist, examines each tooth, takes X-rays where needed and explains to both the parent and the family what can be kept and what needs support.
Families from Akhbar Nagar Circle and Nirnay Nagar Cross Roads usually reach us by taking the 132 Ft Ring Road west towards Sola, then heading south on SG Highway to Iskcon Cross Roads. We try to keep appointments for elderly patients unhurried, with time to sit, ask questions and rest between steps. If a tooth first needs a root canal, that is planned before the crown so the parent is not surprised later.

A prosthodontist plans the work. Crowns and bridges are the core of prosthodontics, the specialty Dr. Prattik Kkeswani trained in at AB Shetty Dental College, Mangalore. For parents from Akhbar Nagar, this means the bite, the gums and the strength of neighbouring teeth are all checked before anything is prepared, so the new teeth sit naturally and share the chewing load.
Materials chosen for older mouths. We work with trusted crown systems such as 3M Lava and Ivoclar, and the choice depends on where the tooth sits and how hard the patient bites. Back teeth need strength for grinding food, and front teeth need a natural shade. We explain the options in plain words, without pressure.
Follow-up after the crown is fitted. Older patients sometimes notice a high spot or mild sensitivity in the first days. We ask families from Akhbar Nagar to come back for a short review so the bite can be adjusted and the gums checked. Regular cleanings afterwards help crowns and bridges last well.
Our clinic is a short drive from the landmarks you already know in Akhbar Nagar.
