Dental Crowns

Prosthetic Crown resembles a kind of cap applied to the tooth. With resistant materials from which it is made, prosthetic Crown strengthens the tooth and simultaneously restores its natural, healthy look.
What different Crown types are available?

Metal in the crown is not visible - it is hidden under the porcelain. These Crowns are the most common group of crowns due to its features and price. Metal substructure provides very high mechanical strength of such crowns, while the high-quality porcelain provides satisfactory aesthetic result in most cases.

What are the recommendations for the crowns in Budapest?

- rebuilding the missing tooth
- as dental bridge pillar
- when veneers are recommended but cannot be performed
What is a Post and when is it needed?
The Post is necessary, when the degree of tooth destruction precludes the maintenance of a prosthetic crown. For example, when the tooth has only a thin wall remaining, which, after grinding, will additionally weaken, prosthetic crown attached only to them may come off with these walls with some time. Therefore, you must then execute a solid foundation for the future crown. This foundation is the Post.
Will I be left without any tooth before the crown is prepared?
Not at all, the dentist will prepare a temporary crown so that the loss of a tooth will not be visible. Temporary crowns are much less accurate and durable than the permanent crown, so you can not have them for long, while for a few days, the temporary crown perfectly fulfill its role.
Is the crown installation painful?

After Treatment:
The dental crown does not require any special care that would be different from the natural teeth. You should remember that the crowned teeth are also exposed to decay, so you should brush and floss them regularly.
