What is the duration required to install a dental crown?

The process of fitting a crown necessitates a minimum of two appointments at our clinic. During the first visit, we will eliminate decay, mold the tooth, and equip it with a temporary crown made of either plastic or metal. On your next visit, we will take off the temporary crown and proceed to fit and fine-tune the permanent crown. We will then secure the crown in place with cement, leaving you with a newly restored, aesthetically pleasing tooth.

Primary Advantages of Dental Crowns

  • Substitutes for lost teeth
  • Provides support for deformed or severely damaged teeth
  • Appears entirely natural
  • Corrects issues with "smile" and chewing functionality

What can crowns do?

Crown and bridgework are reliable solutions for significant dental issues caused by accidents, diseases, or wear and tear. These techniques typically correct major problems using high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. For severe dental problems, we recommend using stronger porcelain and gold materials. Crowns and bridges serve as a long-term solution for lost or broken teeth due to accidents, excessive wear, or old fillings.

Unexplained pain from filled back teeth is often due to hairline cracks in the chewing part. Crowns can relieve this pain and restore full dental function. In front teeth, old fillings can weaken the teeth and cause appearance issues due to staining or chipping. Porcelain crowns and bridges are suitable where porcelain veneers are not. For teeth with root canal fillings, crowns can prevent breakage.

Dental crowns are an excellent way to restore damaged or weakened teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits.
