What is Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps designed to cover and protect damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth. They restore both the functionality and appearance of your teeth, creating a natural and durable solution. In Switzerland, dental crowns are crafted with precision using advanced materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys, ensuring long-lasting results.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who require a restoration for a tooth that cannot be repaired with a filling. Swiss dental clinics prioritize safety and excellence, maintaining high standards in both materials and procedural techniques.

How Dental Crowns Work

The process involves shaping the affected tooth, taking precise impressions, and fabricating a custom crown that fits perfectly over the tooth. Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience, and advanced Swiss dental technology guarantees optimal results.

Who Is a Good Candidate

Dental crowns are suitable for individuals with severely damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth. They are also recommended for those who have undergone root canal treatments or need to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

The Procedure

1. Initial Consultation: A comprehensive dental examination and discussion of your needs.
2. Tooth Preparation: The damaged tooth is shaped and cleaned.
3. Impressions: Precise molds are taken for a perfect fit.
4. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown may be placed until your custom crown is ready.
5. Crown Placement: The custom-made crown is secured onto the tooth.
