All-Ceramic Crown (E.max / Full Zirconia)

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers and protects a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, restoring its shape, strength and appearance. Klinika dr Gajda offers a range of crowns, with all-ceramic E.max and full-contour zirconia options at 2,600 zł giving a natural, metal-free result well suited to visible teeth. Tooth preparation and a temporary crown are listed separately, and the laboratory work is colour-matched to the surrounding teeth.

A crown is an individually made restoration that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth, used when a tooth is too broken down, cracked, heavily filled or weakened by root canal treatment to be restored with a simple filling. By encasing the tooth, a crown restores its natural shape and biting strength and protects the remaining structure from further damage, while a well-matched ceramic crown also improves how the tooth looks. At Klinika dr Gajda the choice of crown is discussed at consultation. All-ceramic options — an E.max pressed-ceramic crown or a full-contour zirconia crown, both at 2,600 zł — contain no metal and are associated with excellent light handling and a natural appearance, making them a popular choice for front teeth and visible areas. More cost-conscious or higher-load situations may use a metal-ceramic crown (1,800 zł), a CAD-CAM milled ceramic crown (2,100 zł) or a porcelain-faced zirconia crown (3,350 zł). The tooth is prepared under local anaesthetic and an impression or digital scan taken; a temporary crown protects it while the laboratory makes the final restoration, which is then checked for fit, bite and shade before being cemented. Crowns can be made on natural teeth, on posts in root-treated teeth, or as part of a bridge to replace a missing tooth. The dentist confirms the most appropriate material and the total cost, including preparation and any temporary, at consultation.
