Dental crowns

What are they?
A dental crown is similar to a tooth-shape hat that is going to entirely cover a healthy altered tooth (for example after a filling). This way, the crown protects tooth from aggressions. It restores and improves the tooth’s shape, size, shade and “strength” in order to make the smile look aesthetically perfect and to recover dental comfort in a lasting way.

 

- To cover a malformed tooth (ex: dwarf tooth) or a severely stained tooth.

- To restore a fractured tooth or a severely worn tooth.

- To restore a fractured tooth after an extended filling, when there is not much
   healthy dental material left.

- To protect a damaged or too fragile tooth against rupture.

- To keep together the portions of a cracked tooth.

- To cover a dental implant.

 

They represent the very best of aesthetic dentistry. In one hand, they have first class longevity. In the other hand, thanks to the diffusion of the light through the tooth-ceramic complex, they have the very natural and vivid appearance of a tooth. The result is then a harmonic integration to the living teeth.

 

They give an aesthetic result less optimal than the crowns that are completely made out of ceramic. There is almost no difference between the functional characteristics, the setting and the price of the two types of crowns. Although, the ceramic-metallic crowns are characterized by the presence of a grey line at the gum level and do not have the transparency of all-ceramic crowns or of living teeth to the light. Less aesthetic, their use remains however more common because they are more classical.

 

Retro-alveolar radiographies, pictures and moulds that the dentist will take at his/her office…etc.

 

When your tooth is deeply altered, the dentist previously performs the complementary cares that will allow him/her to solidly and durably place the crown. Then he/she reduces the contour of the tooth to leave the necessary space to the crown. He/she makes the mould of your tooth that will be used to elaborate the crown. Finally, he/she places the temporary crown to protect your tooth until your next appointment.

 

The dentist removes the temporary crown then he/she uses dental cement to place the permanent crown custom-modeled for your tooth. This permanent crown is adapted to your denture, to its shape, size, shade and strength. It totally covers the portion of the tooth that is over the gum to get a lasting result.

 

- The process of placing a crown is usually fast and does not need more than two sessions.

- The final result obtained is a new tooth perfectly adapted to your denture.

- In general, it lasts between 5 and 20 years according to the oral hygiene performed by the patient, to his/hers alimentary habits, to the type of crown chosen and to his/hers oral habits (biting his/hers nails, gnashing of the teeth, etc.)

 

- After a dental examination, a surgeon dentist establishes the diagnosis of the treatment that is more suitable for you and includes personalized advice. You can check that information in the “diagnosis” section located in your “private zone” (you can access it once your consultation form is completely filled).

- To bite ice, to bite nails…etc. can alter and even fracture a crown.

- Dental sensibility: You can experience sensibility to hot and cold right after the procedure. Do not be worried, this sensibility is only temporary and normal. You can treat it with toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

- Discomfort sensation: Point out to your dentist any sensibility or pain that appears when you bite any food. Do not worry, it just indicates that your crown is positioned a little higher over the tooth and your dentist will easily repair it.

 

- Prefer biting the aliments with the opposite side to where the temporary crown is placed.

- Avoid sticky food (nougat, chewing gum, etc.) that can unglue it.

- Avoid hard-to-bite food that can fracture it.

 

It is recommended to have a good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth after each meal and by using dental floss once a day (even in between crowns).

 

The all-ceramic price is of 320 euros.

The ceramo-metallic crown price is of 240 euros.

These prices do not include complementary treatments price (ex: filling…etc.).
