What’s a dental crown

A dental crown is a cap that fits snugly over a tooth that is decayed or badly damaged.

Dental crowns not only cover the entire teeth they also restore the shape of the teeth, function, strength and most importantly appearance.

In effect a dental crown becomes the new exterior for the surface of the affected teeth adding a much improved look, smile and functionality to damaged or decayed teeth.

What are dental crowns made from

Dental crowns are made from three different materials:

  • Porcelain most widely used, metal free
  • Zirconia hard ceramic, bio-compatabile, durable, look like teeth
  • Metal crowns, gold or alternative metal

Do you really need a dental crown

For a long time different types of dental crowns have been recommended by dentists across the world as a solution for decayed teeth.

They give a new-look and functionality to teeth, the cost of dental crowns can prevent people from going ahead with treatment.

To know for sure if you definitely need dental crowns please call us at Hungarian Dental Implant Centre Wexford town

We can offer you a free dental consultation with our dentist and we can help you to save money on dental crowns.

Thorough examination

During your first visit to our Wexford town dental clinic our lovely dentist will take a panoramic xray.

Then he will do a thorough examination of your mouth, teeth and gums to determine if you are a suitable person for types of dental crowns.

Generally speaking there are seven reasons why dental crowns will be a suitable treatment for you:

1. You have a tooth or teeth that have weakened following severe decay or a cavity.

2. A dental crown is needed to cover an implant

3. A dental crown will compensate for a large filling

4. Will replace a natural tooth that is cracked or damaged

5. Will cover a tooth that has been through root canal treatment

6. A crown can be used to align one’s bite

7. A dental crown can level the shape, size and teeth colour to obtain a beautiful smile

Types of dental crowns-the procedure

It will take a couple of visits to the dentist to get custom-made types of dental crowns.

Unless the dental clinic owns a CEREC® or a machine like it two visits are a likely scenario.

The process may vary a little depending on the types of dental crowns and the cost, in general these are the steps:

The dentist will get your teeth ready to take a crown by removing decay, perhaps root canal treatment or a combination of both.

A mold or cast will be taken to make sure that the crown fits exactly over the damaged or decayed teeth.

A temporary crown is applied to safeguard the teeth until the dental crown is prepared in the dental laboratory.

Depending on the circumstances the new dental crowns should be ready for fitting.

Once the new crowns are fitted they are put over the existing damaged teeth.

Or they can also cover extracted teeth temporarily for a month or so until they are permanently fixed.

Best types of dental crown

Zirconia crowns image

Zirconia crowns

One of the more popular types of dental crowns and the cost are Zirconia crowns.

One of the reasons that many people get Zirconia crowns is the fact that they are very strong and don’t wear down easily.

They are bio-compatible, free of metal and don’t cause any allergic reactions.

Just a couple of disadvantages, because Zirconia crowns are so strong the teeth that they are biting against can wear down slowly, they can be hard to adjust.

E-max crowns

A new type of dental crown is called E-max, it is manufactured from lithium disilicate a type of ceramic.

Some of the main advantages include, they look fabulous in the mouth, they are durable and extremely strong, they are a great option for the front and the back teeth.

Just one disadvantage that includes reported failures by some dentists when used for the back teeth or when inserting more than one crown.

Metal crowns

The types of dental crowns and the cost include crowns made from metal, they are unbelievably strong compared to porcelain crowns that are fused to meta.

Metal crowns are a good option for patients that need a replacement for their molars or premolars.

Some patients have reported that their metal crowns lasted between 15-20 years provided they are cared for properly.

The biggest disadvantage of metal crowns is the fact that they will never look exactly like the existing natural teeth.

In comparison porcelain or ceramic crowns are difficult to tell apart from natural teeth.

Traditional metal crowns aren’t nearly as visible to the naked eye as gold crowns.

However there is no comparison in the aesthetic value when compared to porcelain or ceramic dental crowns.
