Dental crowns

A crown is fitted when a filling is impossible, when a large part of the tooth is missing or when the tooth may break – most often with devitalised teeth.

A crown restores the correct surface and shape of the tooth and significantly improves chewing function and aesthetics.

Types of crowns

  • metal (gold);
  • with a resin facing;
  • porcelain-fused-to-metal – the strongest and most aesthetic;
  • ceramic;
  • the newest – with excellent aesthetics and a zirconia base.

How it is made

After a local anaesthetic the tooth is prepared and an impression is taken, from which the dental laboratory makes the crown. A temporary crown is placed on the prepared tooth for about a week.
