For example teeth become decayed, an injury can occur, teeth lose their size or shape.
A dental crown can do so much for damaged teeth, they are shaped to fit over the damaged tooth or teeth.
Think of it like a snug fitting hat, the crown recreates your own tooth in the same size, shape, strength and appearance.
Once the dental crown is manufactured in the laboratory it is placed on your tooth, it is cemented into place.
The crown fits comfortably into the the part of your old tooth that is visible
A crown is a bespoke customized cap for your damaged tooth or missing tooth.
In a nutshell it fits perfectly over the top of the decayed or damaged tooth.

Modern technology helps with crowns cost
Modern technology in dentistry terms, modern technology has a role to play in the success rate of crowns and dental implants.
High technology crown and implant solutions mean that new teeth are identical to natural teeth.
Crowns are the perfect choice to provide protection for existing teeth and to replace extracted teeth.
Dental crowns are highly recommended for teeth that have been treated for restoration and repair.
For example any tooth that has been cracked, chipped or repaired.

- Following the crown fitting patients may experience sensitivity, especially to hot or cold food
- Some patients complain of discomfort
- A patient may need to brush with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth

Why do crowns cost so much
Compared to other cheaper direct tooth replacements crowns are more expensive, no wonder people ask how much do crowns cost.
The cost of dental crowns can be prohibited for some people.
The good news is that a visit to Hungarian Dental Implant Centre can make a custom made dental crown more affordable.
One of the reasons why crowns are so expensive is the material that they are made from.
Many crowns are made from porcelain which tends to be more expensive than gold crowns.
The cost of a dental crown in Ireland can range from €800-€1,000, the cost of a crown in Hungary can be as low as €365.
Types of crowns
Because of advancements in dental technology many types of dental crowns are now available.
The dentist will decide which type of crown is the best option for you.
He will make a decision based on where the crown is needed.
Most common crowns
Porcelain is the most commonly used of all the crown types available.
Dentists can fit them into molars because they are very strong and can take the pressure associated with chewing on a molar.
Crowns are supported by a metal base that is fused to the porcelain crown.
This forms a very stable base and gives a superior natural look to the patient.
For those that need a metal free option crown E.max and Zirconium crowns are available.
Porcelain crows are in the main used for repairing front teeth.
Zirconium crowns are a viable alternative to a fused porcelain crown if molar teeth need to be replaced.
How long to get crowns in place
When researching how much do crowns cost I’ve decided to spend a bit of time writing about how long to get crowns in place.
The length of time involved is typically two visits to the dentist to have one crown replaced.
Where more than one crown is needed each visit will take longer.
When a tooth is damaged it must be repaired before the crown placement can be done.
If a tooth is chipped or cracked the repair should not take up too much time.
Following the tooth repair an impression will be taken.
It’s imperative that a good impression is taken to make sure the crowns are bite perfect and look as natural as possible.
The impression is then sent to the lab where the crown will be made.
Whilst the patient is waiting for the new crown to be made a temporary crown will be inserted to protect the tooth.
The temporary crown isn’t a replacement for the new crown.
Once it is ready the patient will return for fitting.
During the fitting the new crown will be permanently fixed using a dental cement.
During the procedure, if a patient feels uncomfortable a sedative can be offered.
