How is a dental crown fitted?

With a dental crown, you may imagine a kind of “sheath” shell that covers the ground tooth and makes it beautiful and new again. The fitting of a dental crown is usually divided into two sessions. The most important is our first session together, where you will have your teeth ground. But you don’t have to worry about it. The entire treatment is performed after the application of local anaesthesia. Grinding a tooth is similar to having your tooth drilled, when you have caries. We do our best to ensure our patients feel safe and, as far as possible, stress-free when they come to us. Therefore, the application of local anaesthesia is essential. The dentist grinds the tooth a few millimetres on each side. It is a longer process, but it is crucial in the creation of a dental crown. After thorough grinding, impressions are made with a special material.

And now comes the best part! After the second session you will have your beautiful smile again. All that’s left is to choose the right colour of the crown. When choosing the right colour of the crown, it is important that it matches the colour of your teeth. The finished crown must be tested properly before it is fully fitted on the ground tooth. If everything fits perfectly, only a small amount of fixing material is applied to the crown, it’s placed on the tooth and it’s done! Your smile is as good as new.

What is a dental crown made of?

What a dental crown is made of depends in most cases on the price. There are several materials available.

  • One type is all-metal crowns, which are among the cheapest. They are very strong and durable in structure and material. Nowadays, however, they are not used very much, as they do not look aesthetically pleasing in the mouth.
  • The combination of metal and ceramics created metal-ceramic crowns. Their inner part is made of metal, which provides the parameters of durability and strength. However, the surface already looks much better than that of all-metal crowns. They are covered with ceramic, which creates a beautiful white effect.
  • If you’re looking to get your smile back to the way it was before, we recommend opting for the all-ceramic crowns. They are the most aesthetic and can perfectly mimic the appearance of your lost tooth. Once they are inserted into the mouth, it is very difficult to distinguish them from normal teeth.

Does a dental crown last forever?

If you don’t take care of your teeth properly, you can lose not only just your healthy teeth, but your dental crown as well. It may happen that it will start to wobble, in which case definitely do not delay your visit to our clinic! It is necessary for the dentist to remove the crown and reapply it, but only after the area has been thoroughly cleaned. If you delay your visit to the dentist, bacteria can get underneath and destroy the healthy tooth underneath the crown.
