WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWNS?
Dental crowns (dental caps) are fixed prosthetic devices that imitate the shape, the size, and the color of the natural tooth, which are permanently fixed on the placed dental implants (it is an extension of the implant) or on a natural tooth that has been weakened or is aesthetically unpleasing. A permanent crown will cover the entire visible part of the existing tooth, it represents a new surface and thereby replaces natural teeth. The main goal of dental crowns is the restoration of the lost function of the teeth, strengthening teeth, or repairing their aesthetic features.
What is the price of a dental crown?
In order to get a precise price offer, it is certainly best to go in for a first dental examination, when it will be determined which dental treatments you require, with the help of detailed panoramic x-ray diagnostics, and an appropriate price offer for will be made for you accordingly.
DENTAL CROWN TYPES
There are various materials for making dental crowns. Until recently, metal was most commonly used as the base for dental crowns, but today a non-metal base (full ceramics) is also often used to make dental crowns, this includes E-max, Empress, and zirconium ceramics, which is the cutting edge of aesthetic dentistry because it enables a totally natural and transparent appearance of the augmented tooth.
The Štimac Dental Center uses two types of materials for the dental crowns, those are: metal-ceramic crowns (metal as the base for the crown) and non-metal ceramics (zirconium, e.max ceramics, and empress as the base for the crown). The non-metal ceramic crown is made using CAD-CAM computer technology that enables total precision in making a tooth by a dental technician, from the aesthetics to the functionality and bite, that is why it is often recommended to the patients, especially when talking about crowns on the front teeth.
Fully ceramic dental crowns are an excellent solution for high quality teeth aesthetics. The characteristics of fully ceramic crowns, or porcelain crowns, like translucence, color, and transparency (the way light is reflected and let through), are the best representation of all the properties of teeth visible by the eye, which results in a crown indistinguishable from a natural tooth. E-max ceramics is three times as strong as dental enamel, which reduces the possibility of cracking in those ceramic crowns to a minimum and these are often used in the back regions for controlling chewing motions. Once it is attached to the tooth, the ceramic crown and the tooth are a single unit, and they cannot be separated.
Today, zirconium dental prosthetics are considered the best that aesthetic dentistry can offer. All zirconium prosthetics look completely natural, because zirconium imitates the optical properties of a natural tooth. Zirconium ceramics is the alternative to metal substructures used under the porcelain in crowns. Zirconium is an airy material that provides a lighter and more natural appearance to the tooth, it is completely biocompatible and it does not cause allergies. Fully ceramic zirconium crowns are made using the CAD-CAM technology available within our dental center, which results in a crown with all the properties of a natural tooth and top quality aesthetics. The non-metal zirconium crowns made using CAD-CAM technology enable incredible precision in creating perfect teeth, through planned aesthetic dentistry and through functionality, thereby greatly increasing the patient's satisfaction.
Metal-ceramic crowns represent a type of prosthetic devices in which ceramic devices are connected to a metal base (substructure). Due to the low price of dental crowns, but also their excellent properties, like strength and durability, as well as solid aesthetics, the use of metal-ceramic crowns in prosthetic rehabilitation is still common today, especially for back teeth. The metal interior provides stability and strength for the teeth, and the ceramics imitates the shape and color of the tooth on the outside.

Results of the procedure
Ceramic dental crowns are permanent prosthetic devices, and in the healthcare sense, permanent means a period of 10 to 15 years. The lifespan of dental crowns is highly individual for each person and it depends on a number of factors like the health of the person, quality of the material, experience and skills of the dentist, properly determined bite and inter-jaw interaction, oral hygiene, and regular control at a dentist's office which can prevent further decay of dental structures, if such a process has started on the teeth.
In order to prolong the lifespan, after the placement treatment on a natural tooth or a dental implant, tooth crowns must be maintained regularly, same as natural teeth, and enough time each day must be devoted to dental hygiene. In order to properly maintain the health of your oral cavity, we recommend using a toothbrush, dental floss, mouthwash, and an interdental brush. With regular and proper tooth cleaning we can prolong the lifespan of dental crowns.
Apart from the mentioned, the durability of dental crowns also depends on the quality of the tooth structures, gums, and the bone. Over the years, several conditions can develop, like gum disease and gum and bone recession, which leads to exposed roots and consequently movement of the natural teeth, which is difficult to predict for a dentist and is most commonly related to the person's oral hygiene.
We should definitely mention that avoiding habits like nail, pencil, or ice biting should be avoided, as well as biting other hard substances that are not food. You should also avoid heavy jaw clenching and nighttime teeth grinding, which is the usual cause of chipped, broken, and destroyed teeth.
The tooth under a ceramic crown cannot develop a cavity, but it can become inflamed. In case there is an inflammation and the tooth begins to hurt, there are two options. One is to remove the crown and treat the tooth, and the other is to drill through the crown, reach the center of the inflammation and begin treatment.
If you experience gum inflammation or toothache, it is very important to visit a dentist as soon as possible, discover the source, and remove the cause of the inflammation.
