• Patients with severely damaged teeth (abrased, worn, cracked, severely decayed etc.)
• Patients whose teeth cannot be restored by minimal treatments (eg. small cavities suitable for composite restorations)
• Patients with tooth structure loss, crowding and/or discolored teeth.

• The preparation of your existing teeth will take 1 to 4 hours according to the comprehension of the treatment.
• The temporary restoration will be inserted after the preparation.
• The prosthodontist will produce the crown within 2 to 7 days.

• The crown preparation may cause irritation of your teeth, surrounding structures and the healing usually takes a few days. Patients may initially feel some sensitivity, discomfort or pain. However, these symptoms would decrease and disappear in a few days.The dental crown treatment requires more than one appointment. Thus, a temporary crown will be necessary to use between appointments for prevention of the tooth tissue and the health of gums.

How is the post-treatment aftercare period of a dental crown?

• In normal circumstances, there would be no discomfort in the post-treatment period. If there are any sensitivity and/or pain in your teeth your dentist can recommend a suitable medication. You should attend to recall appointments.
