Porcelain Crown

A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. At Chodyra Clinic crowns are made to match the colour and form of the surrounding teeth and can be placed on a natural tooth or on an implant. They are a core part of the clinic's prosthodontic and implant work, with the fit planned digitally for accuracy.

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fully covers a tooth above the gum line. It is used when a tooth is too broken down, decayed, cracked or heavily restored to be repaired with a filling, or after root canal treatment when the remaining tooth needs protection. The crown restores the tooth's natural shape, biting surface and appearance while holding the underlying structure together. Porcelain and porcelain-based crowns are chosen for front and visible teeth because they reproduce the translucency and colour of natural enamel. At Chodyra Clinic the tooth is first assessed and prepared, an impression or digital scan is taken, and a crown is fabricated to match the shade and contour of the neighbouring teeth before being bonded into place. Crowns also form the visible part of an implant restoration and the units of a fixed bridge used to replace missing teeth, so they sit at the centre of the clinic's prosthodontic and implantology services. The practice's in-house digital workflow and operating microscopes support a precise fit and margin, and most work carries a written guarantee. A porcelain crown suits adults who need to restore a structurally compromised or root-treated tooth, or who want to improve the shape and colour of a visible tooth; the right material and approach are agreed at a prosthodontic consultation.
