Dental crowns

Thin-layer ceramic crowns restore the lost shape and anatomic structure of teeth with the service life span more than 20 years. Highly aesthetic.

What are dental crowns?

Dental crowns are a type of dental prosthetics used to restore the shape, size, strength and aesthetics of a tooth. Crowns are placed over a damaged or weakened tooth, completely covering the visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. This allows you to restore a tooth after major destruction, prevent further damage, or change the appearance of the tooth.

    Teeth with large defects

    Due to tooth decay or trauma requiring restoration of their original appearance and functionality.

    How do crowns differ from veneers?

    Dental crowns and veneers are popular dental solutions for restoring and improving the appearance of teeth, but they differ in a number of ways

    • Tooth turning volume

      Crowns require grinding away most of the tooth as they cover the entire tooth, restoring shape, size, and function.

      Veneers are thin plates that are bonded to the front surface of the tooth, requiring minimal grinding of the enamel.

    • Purpose of application

      Crowns are used to restore teeth with significant damage, teeth weakened after root canal treatment or when a large amount of tooth tissue needs to be replaced.

      Veneers are mainly used for cosmetic correction of the appearance of teeth: changing the colour, shape or to close gaps between teeth.

    • Durability and strength

      Crowns tend to be more durable and strong, due to the full coverage of the tooth, they are able to withstand significant chewing pressure.

      Veneers are less durable than crowns due to their thinness and limited tooth coverage, making them more vulnerable to chipping and cracking under extreme pressure.

    • Change of appearance

      Crowns can dramatically change the appearance of a tooth, its colour and shape, offering a solution for more complex dental cases.

      Veneers offer a gentler and smaller change, ideal for aesthetic smile makeovers.

    Stages of work

    The procedure for dental crowns consists of several steps, each of which is key to achieving the best possible result:


    01

    Consultation and planning

    Initially, the dentist will examine and discuss with the patient all the details of the upcoming procedure. X-rays may be required to assess the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues.

    02

    Tooth preparation

    The tooth is ground down to create the optimal shape for the crown. This step involves removing the damaged part of the tooth and shaping the tooth surface so that the crown can be held securely on the tooth.

    03

    Taking an impression

    After preparing the tooth, the dentist makes an accurate impression of the tooth, which will be used by the dental laboratory to make the crown. Modern technology allows this to be done digitally, which ensures high accuracy.

    04

    Placement of a temporary crown

    Before the permanent crown is ready, a temporary crown is placed on the tooth to protect it and keep it functional while the permanent crown is being made.

    05

    Crown fabrication

    In the laboratory, a crown is created on the basis of an impression that strictly corresponds to the shape and size of the prepared tooth. The material and colour are selected individually.

    06

    Trying on and installation

    After the crown is made, the dentist will perform a fitting. At this stage, the size, shape, colour and bite are checked. If the crown fits perfectly, it is fixed on the tooth.

    07

    Care instructions

    Once the procedure is complete, the dentist will make recommendations on how to care for the new crown to prolong its life.

    "I am afraid of dentists and everything related to dental treatment. But I can confidently say that after 10 years of living in the UAE, I have finally found my dentist. I've had dental hygiene done, and am currently treating my teeth, having visited twice already. Among the perks is a large TV on the ceiling; you can get absorbed in YouTube or even watch a movie, which is cool as it distracts me and eases my anxiety. Once I'm done with my dental treatment, I'll also work with an orthodontist."

    "I’ve done braces, 4 implants and 28 porcelain veneers and crowns with the 1M1 colour. So I trusted my full mouth to this dentist clinic and haven’t regretted at all! The owner Lilia is just adorable. She is very patient, attentive and friendly. All people that work at clinic are also very nice and patient even with this kind of person as me, who always asks so many questions about everything. I’m totally happy with the work that they’ve done and now my husband and his parents are also doing the whole mouth work there! Always happy to recommend DentalDate!"

Highly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch orthodontic care!"

    How do you care for a crown?

    Caring for a dental crown is easy, but following simple rules can help extend its life and keep your smile healthy:

    1. Regular hygiene: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily can help prevent plaque and decay on the tooth adjacent to the crown.
    2. Antibacterial mouthwash: Using an antibacterial mouthwash will help reduce bacteria and keep your gums healthy.
    3. Avoiding hard foods: To prevent damage or chipping of the crown, you should avoid excessively hard or sticky foods.
    4. Visiting the dentist: Regular check-ups and professional cleanings by the dentist twice a year can help detect and correct potential problems in a timely manner.
    5. Avoiding bad habits: You should avoid habits such as grinding your teeth or using your teeth as tools to avoid damaging the crown.

    Following these simple guidelines will ensure that your crown is well protected and will help keep it beautiful and functional for years to come.

    F.A.Q

    How long do dental crowns last?

    Dental crowns can last from 5 to 15 years or more, depending on the material of fabrication, quality of care, and individual patient characteristics such as eating habits and oral hygiene.

    Can poor oral hygiene destroy a crown?

    Poor oral hygiene will not destroy the crown itself, but it can lead to tooth decay on the underlying tooth or gum disease around the crown, which in turn may require replacement.

    Is a dental crown whitened along with the teeth?

    Dental crowns made of ceramic or other non-porous materials cannot be whitened. Therefore, if natural teeth are whitened, the colour of the crown will remain unchanged, which may result in a colour difference between the crown and the whitened teeth.

    Is the procedure for placing crowns painful?

    The procedure for placing a dental crown is usually not painful as it is performed under local anaesthesia. There may be some temporary discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides on its own within a few days.

    What is the difference between temporary and permanent crowns?

    Temporary crowns are placed while the permanent crown is being made and serve to protect the prepared tooth. They are usually made of less durable material and have a less precise fit. Permanent crowns are made of high-strength materials, taking into account all anatomical and aesthetic requirements, ensuring long-term restoration of the function and appearance of the tooth.
