Porcelain & All-Ceramic Crowns

A dental crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Tymodent offers all-ceramic crowns (Press and Cercon) for a natural, metal-free look as well as more economical porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, plus ceramic endocrowns for root-treated back teeth. Crowns and bridges are listed individually on the price list, quoted from a base figure that depends on the material chosen and the tooth being restored.

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 or heavily filled to be restored with a simple filling, or after root canal treatment when the remaining tooth needs protecting. Bridges use crowns on the teeth either side of a gap to carry a replacement tooth between them. Both rebuild the bite and restore appearance. At Tymodent several crown types are available so the restoration can be matched to the situation and budget. All-ceramic crowns — listed as Press and Cercon (zirconia) options from 1,800 zł — are metal-free and translucent, which makes them well suited to front teeth where a natural look matters. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, from 1,200 zł, pair a metal core with a porcelain surface and are a hard-wearing, more economical choice for back teeth. For root-treated molars the clinic offers a ceramic endocrown at 1,800 zł, which anchors into the prepared tooth without a separate post. Treatment usually involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression, fitting a temporary crown (from 150 zł, or 400 zł when made in the laboratory) and then cementing the final crown made by the dental laboratory. The dentist discusses which material is most appropriate for the tooth and the bite at the planning visit, and the final price is confirmed at that point.
