Porcelain / Ceramic Crown

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. At Dental Clinic Jankowscy crowns are made in modern all-ceramic materials such as Empress, e.max and zirconia for a natural, tooth-coloured result, with the material chosen to suit the tooth's position and load. The per-unit price also applies to bridge units, so multi-tooth bridges are quoted by the number of units involved.

A crown is an individually made restoration that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth, rebuilding it when it is too broken down, decayed or weakened — often after root canal treatment — to be restored with a filling alone. It protects the remaining tooth structure while restoring normal shape, biting function and appearance. At Dental Clinic Jankowscy the tooth is first prepared and an impression or digital scan taken, from which the laboratory creates a precise crown; a temporary crown protects the tooth in the meantime. The clinic works with a range of modern ceramics. All-ceramic options such as Empress, e.max and feldspathic porcelain give excellent aesthetics for visible teeth, while zirconia offers high strength for back teeth or longer-span bridges; a hybrid-ceramic option is also available. The same per-unit pricing covers individual crowns and the units that make up a fixed bridge, so a bridge replacing a missing tooth is costed by its number of units. Crowns are suitable for adults with a tooth that is cracked, extensively filled, discoloured or root-treated, and they can also be supported on implants as part of a wider plan. The dentist assesses whether a crown, an onlay or a more conservative restoration is the right choice and reviews the expected longevity and care at consultation.
