A dental crown is a versatile prosthetic device used in restorative dentistry to treat a number of issues.

Essentially acting as a “cap” or replacement tooth, crowns are placed over a damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth to restore its function, structure, and appearance, with the material color-matched to the rest of your teeth.

Common circumstances where a crown is used are:

When patients have a large cavity too big for a filling

When a tooth is cracked, thus weakened

When a tooth has been severely worn down

To provide additional support following root canal therapy

When a patient has a missing tooth, a crown, attached to a dental implant, can act as a false (or replacement) tooth

The exact procedure for a dental crown in Gyor will depend on the reason it’s being used and the extent of the work required.

Typically, x-rays are taken and a mold of the tooth is made for the crown to be processed. Under local anesthetic, the receiving tooth will be filed down and a temporary crown placed. The permanent crown will be placed at a follow-up appointment.

Learn more about this common type of dental treatment with our Dental Departures Ultimate Guide to Crowns.

How Long Will I Need to Stay in Gyor for Crowns Treatment?

Typically, the course of treatment will take between one and three days (longer if root canal therapy is involved).

However, patients can often complete their course of treatment in just one day (“same-day crowns”) if their chosen dental clinic has in-house CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture) equipment.

This enables dentists to almost immediately start the manufacturing process after impressions of the tooth/teeth have been made.

In many cases, the crown will be ready to be fitted a few hours after the initial morning appointment.
