Ceramic Dental Crowns

Dynasty Stomatology restores heavily damaged, root-canal-treated or cosmetically compromised teeth with ceramic crowns — zirconia at 12,000 Kč, E-max all-ceramic at 13,000 Kč, and metal-ceramic at 10,000 Kč. Crowns are designed digitally, with CAD/CAM milling available through the clinic's digital dentistry department, and the same materials extend to bridges and implant-supported restorations. A long-term temporary crown (3,600 Kč) protects the tooth during fabrication. Zirconia offers maximum strength for back teeth while E-max provides the most natural translucency for visible front teeth.

A crown is a full-coverage restoration that caps a structurally compromised tooth — after large decay, fracture, or root canal treatment — restoring its strength, function and appearance when a filling can no longer hold the tooth together. **Material options at the clinic:** - *Zirconia (12,000 Kč):* Zirconium dioxide is the strongest dental ceramic (900+ MPa), effectively unbreakable in normal function, metal-free and biocompatible. The standard choice for molars and bruxers, and modern multilayer zirconia is aesthetic enough for many visible positions. - *E-max (13,000 Kč):* Lithium disilicate offers the best optical match to natural enamel — first choice for front teeth where translucency matters most. - *Metal-ceramic (10,000 Kč):* The proven economical workhorse — a metal core veneered with porcelain. - *Long-term temporary (3,600 Kč):* Protects the prepared tooth and maintains aesthetics during fabrication or implant healing. **Digital workflow:** The clinic's CAD/CAM department designs and mills ceramic crowns digitally from intraoral 3D scans (1,200 Kč per jaw), improving fit precision and often shortening turnaround versus conventional impressions. **The process:** Prosthetic examination (900 Kč) and plan; preparation of the tooth under local anaesthesia; scan or impression; temporary crown; try-in and adhesive cementation of the final crown with bite adjustment. Root-canal-treated molars usually need a build-up core (4,800 Kč) before crowning. **Bridges and implant crowns:** The same materials extend to multi-unit bridges for missing teeth and implant-supported crowns (zirconia on implant 14,000 Kč), so a single prosthetic plan can cover mixed cases. **Longevity:** Ceramic crowns routinely last 10–20 years with good hygiene; the margin where crown meets tooth is the critical zone to keep clean.
