Dental Crown (Zahnersatz)

A dental crown is a custom cap that restores a damaged, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, rebuilding its shape, strength and appearance. BerlinBite provides crowns and prosthetic restorations (Zahnersatz) as part of its general and aesthetic dentistry, planned to blend with the surrounding teeth. Costs are individualised and explained in a written treatment and cost plan, with German- and English-speaking care.

A crown is a tailor-made restoration that fits over the whole visible part of a tooth. It is 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. By encasing the tooth, a crown restores its natural shape and biting surface and is associated with reducing the risk of further fracture. Modern metal-free ceramic crowns avoid the dark line that can show at the gum with older metal-based crowns and give a natural, translucent appearance well suited to visible teeth. At BerlinBite in Berlin-Lichtenberg, crowns are part of the practice's prosthetic and aesthetic dentistry (Zahnersatz). Treatment usually takes two stages: the tooth is prepared and shaped, a scan or impression is taken, and a temporary crown is fitted while the permanent one is made; at the second visit the definitive crown is tried in, adjusted for a comfortable bite and fixed in place. Shade and shape are planned to match the neighbouring teeth. Because crown costs depend on the material and the laboratory work, and because German statutory and private insurance can contribute, the practice gives an individual written treatment and cost plan rather than a fixed list price. Crowns suit adults with a significantly damaged, discoloured or root-treated tooth, or who need a restoration on top of an implant; the dentist confirms the most suitable option at examination.
