Crowns are dental restorations that are used to restore damaged or weakened teeth. At IJssel Dental we offer custom-made crowns that not only improve the functionality of your teeth, but also maintain their natural appearance.
A crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to strengthen and protect it. These crowns are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of metal and porcelain, depending on your specific needs and preferences.
Crowns are particularly useful for restoring teeth that have been severely damaged by wear, acid, trauma, or large fillings. They can also be used to strengthen a tooth after root canal treatment or to cover a dental implant. Crowns help restore both the normal function and aesthetics of your tooth.
We understand that a visit to the dentist can sometimes raise questions and concerns, so we have put together this section to provide you with clear and concise answers to the most common questions.
If your question is not answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our team is always ready to help you.
Placing a crown is a two-stage procedure. During the first appointment, the damaged tooth is prepared and an impression is taken to create the custom-made crown. You will receive a temporary crown for protection. During the second appointment, the permanent crown is placed and adjusted to ensure it fits and functions properly.
The process of placing a crown usually takes two appointments, with a period of about 1 to 2 weeks in between to make the crown to size. The first appointment involves preparing the tooth and taking impressions. During the second appointment, the permanent crown is placed.
The cost of a crown varies depending on the material used and the complexity of the treatment. On average, the cost of a crown is between €500 and €1000 per crown. During your consultation, we will give you a clear overview of the costs and discuss possible payment options.
Placing a crown is usually painless, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, you may experience some temporary sensitivity, especially to cold or hot foods. This discomfort usually disappears within a few days. If you experience severe pain or other problems, please contact us.
Crowns are designed to last. With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, crowns can last for decades. It is important to take good care of your tooth and crown and visit your dentist regularly for checkups.
Yes, a crown can also be placed if a tooth is already partially lost. In some cases, it may be necessary to first build up the tooth with filling materials before placing the crown. Your dentist will determine the best approach based on the condition of your tooth and your overall oral health.
You maintain a crown in the same way as your natural teeth. Brush your teeth and crown twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, use dental floss or interdental brushes daily to keep the area around the crown clean, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
