Porcelain Crown

A porcelain crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. At Dentis crowns are used to protect teeth that are too broken down for a filling, to finish root canal treatment, and to improve the look of front teeth. Tooth-coloured porcelain blends with the surrounding teeth, and at Zgorzelec prices the work is markedly cheaper than equivalent restorations in Germany.

A crown is a tailored restoration that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth, rebuilding it when too little healthy structure remains for a simple filling to be reliable. Teeth that are extensively decayed, cracked, worn or that have had root canal treatment are at risk of fracture, and a crown distributes biting forces and holds the tooth together so it can stay in function. Porcelain and porcelain-bonded crowns also match the colour and translucency of natural enamel, which makes them a good choice where appearance matters. At Dentis the dentist first assesses whether the tooth can be saved and whether any groundwork — such as root canal treatment or a build-up — is needed. The tooth is then shaped to make room for the crown, an impression is taken, and a crown is made to fit your bite and blend with neighbouring teeth before being cemented in place. The clinic offers crowns as part of both restorative and cosmetic dentistry, including porcelain options for front teeth. A well-made crown on a sound foundation, looked after with normal brushing, flossing and check-ups, can last many years. For patients coming from across the border, the dentist can plan the preparation and fitting visits to fit a trip, and explains the options and costs in English beforehand.
