Porcelain 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. Stomatologia Chrobrego offers porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns from 1,200 zł and metal-free zirconia (Cercon) crowns for a more natural look. Crowns are made from impressions and fitted over two visits, and can also be combined into bridges to replace a missing tooth.

A crown is a tooth-shaped restoration that fits over a prepared tooth to protect and rebuild it when a filling would not be enough — for example after root canal treatment, a large fracture or extensive decay. It restores the tooth's natural contour and biting function while improving its appearance. At Stomatologia Chrobrego the tooth is first shaped and an impression taken; a laboratory then makes the crown, which is cemented at a second appointment. The practice offers several crown types so the restoration can be matched to the tooth and budget. A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown combines a strong metal core with a tooth-coloured ceramic surface, while a full-ceramic Cercon crown is made of zirconia with no metal, giving a translucency that is well suited to front teeth and to patients who prefer metal-free work. A composite overlay is also available as a more conservative option. Crowns are associated with extending the working life of a compromised tooth and, when joined together, can form a bridge that replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side. Colour is matched to the surrounding teeth, and the dentist discusses the most appropriate material at the planning visit. As private treatment, crown and bridge work can be financed in instalments through MediRaty.
