Dental Crowns in Sharm El Sheikh

Dental crowns in Sharm El Sheikh can restore damaged, weakened, heavily filled, worn or root canal-treated teeth while also rebuilding their natural shape and appearance. For international patients, crowns can often be planned and completed within approximately five days, making treatment possible during a typical holiday in Sharm El Sheikh.

We offer three main crown options:

Zirconia crowns — €200 per tooth

Full porcelain crowns — €200 per tooth

Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns — €150 per tooth

The right dental crown is not simply the most expensive material or the one that looks best in a photograph. Your dentist needs to consider where the tooth is located, how much natural tooth remains, your bite, the reason the crown is needed and your aesthetic expectations.

For many patients, zirconia offers an attractive combination of strength and aesthetics. Full porcelain is another highly aesthetic metal-free option, while porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns remain a well-established solution that can be considered in appropriate cases.

Treatment typically requires two or three appointments over approximately five days, although the exact schedule depends on the individual case.

If you are travelling to Sharm El Sheikh and think you may need one or several crowns, Contact Us before your trip whenever possible. Tell us your travel dates and, if available, provide any relevant information about the teeth you want assessed.

What Is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers a prepared tooth.

You may also hear people call it a tooth cap or dental cap. These terms generally refer to the same type of restoration.

Unlike a filling, which replaces a portion of missing or damaged tooth structure, a crown covers the visible prepared portion of the tooth.

Crowns are commonly used when a tooth has lost enough structure that a filling alone may no longer provide the most appropriate restoration.

They can restore the tooth’s shape, help protect weakened tooth structure, improve function and, when required, significantly improve appearance.

Dental crowns are also used over dental implants and are commonly considered for certain teeth following root canal treatment.

The important point is that a crown is not simply a cosmetic cover for a tooth.

It is primarily a restorative dental treatment, although modern crowns can provide excellent aesthetic results as well.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

There are many reasons why a dentist may recommend a crown.

A badly damaged tooth

When substantial tooth structure has been lost through damage or decay, there may not be enough remaining tooth for a conventional filling to provide the desired restoration.

A crown can cover and rebuild the tooth.

A broken or cracked tooth

Depending on the type, location and severity of the damage, a crown may be used to protect and restore a compromised tooth.

Not every crack can be treated with a crown, however. The dentist first needs to determine whether the tooth is suitable for restoration.

A heavily filled tooth

A tooth containing a very large existing filling may have relatively little natural tooth structure remaining.

In appropriate cases, a crown can provide coverage and restore the tooth.

A worn-down tooth

Significant tooth wear can change tooth height, shape and function.

Crowns may form part of a restorative plan for selected worn teeth.

After root canal treatment

Root canal-treated teeth are one of the common situations in which crowns may be considered, particularly when significant tooth structure has already been lost.

Cleveland Clinic includes covering a root canal-treated tooth among the established indications for dental crowns.

Before placing a crown, some teeth may first require root canal treatment in Sharm El Sheikh if the nerve has become infected or severely damaged.

Cosmetic improvement

Crowns can also change the visible colour, shape and proportions of a tooth.

However, that does not mean every cosmetic problem requires a crown.

If a healthy tooth only needs a colour improvement, professional Teeth Whitening may be more appropriate.

For selected cosmetic concerns involving the front surface of otherwise suitable teeth, Dental Veneers may be considered.

And for smaller chips or edges, bonding may sometimes provide a more conservative option.

On top of a dental implant

A dental implant replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. The visible replacement tooth attached above the implant is a restoration such as an implant crown.

You can learn more about the complete process on our Dental Implants in Sharm El Sheikh page.

Types of Dental Crowns We Offer in Sharm El Sheikh

Choosing a crown material matters because different materials have different characteristics.

Our main options are zirconia, full porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

This page gives you an overview of all three. Each material will also have its own detailed treatment page.

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns cost €200 per tooth.

Zirconia is a ceramic material known for its strength and increasingly widespread use in modern restorative dentistry.

It can provide a combination of durability and attractive dental aesthetics, making zirconia one of our most commonly selected crown materials for international patients.

Zirconia may be used in both functional and visible areas depending on the clinical situation.

For front teeth, aesthetics become especially important. We frequently consider zirconia when a patient requires a crown in the visible smile area, although the final material recommendation depends on the individual tooth and case.

For posterior teeth, strength and chewing forces become particularly important considerations.

Modern zirconia can therefore be useful across a wide range of restorative situations.

Cleveland Clinic describes zirconia crowns as extremely durable compared with several other ceramic options and capable of withstanding substantial forces.

Our dedicated Zirconia Crowns in Sharm El Sheikh page will cover the material, advantages, limitations, procedure, suitability and aftercare in much greater detail.

Full Porcelain Crowns

Full porcelain crowns cost €200 per tooth.

Our porcelain option is a full ceramic crown, meaning it does not rely on an internal metal framework.

One of the main reasons patients consider full porcelain is aesthetics.

Ceramic materials can reproduce many of the visual characteristics associated with natural teeth, making them particularly relevant when appearance is a major priority.

The absence of a metal framework is also attractive to patients specifically seeking a metal-free restoration.

However, we do not describe porcelain as automatically “better” than every other crown material.

Dental material selection needs to account for where the crown will be placed, the patient’s bite, remaining tooth structure and other clinical factors.

A front tooth and a heavily loaded molar do not necessarily present the same requirements.

Our Porcelain Crowns in Sharm El Sheikh page will explore full ceramic crowns in detail without duplicating this hub.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns

Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns cost €150 per tooth.

Often abbreviated as PFM, these crowns combine a metal substructure with an outer porcelain layer.

The metal provides the internal framework while the porcelain provides the tooth-coloured external appearance.

PFM crowns have been used in restorative dentistry for many years and remain a legitimate option for selected cases.

They can be used for front or back teeth, although material choice should take both aesthetic and functional requirements into account.

One potential difference from an all-ceramic restoration is that PFM contains metal beneath the porcelain. Over time, changes around the gum line or damage to the porcelain can sometimes make the underlying structure more noticeable. Porcelain can also chip in some cases.

For posterior teeth where strength and function are particularly important, PFM may be one of the options considered.

We do not position PFM as an inferior crown simply because it costs less.

It is a different restorative option with different characteristics.

Read our dedicated Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns in Sharm El Sheikh guide for more information.

Zirconia vs Porcelain vs PFM Crowns

There is no single crown material that is automatically best for every tooth and every patient.

Feature	Zirconia	Full Porcelain	PFM
Price	€200	€200	€150
Metal-free	Yes	Yes	No
Aesthetics	High	High	Good
Strength	High	Depends on ceramic/case	Established restorative option
Front teeth	Often considered	Often considered	Possible
Back teeth	Often considered	Case-dependent	Often considered
Treatment time	Approx. 5 days	Approx. 5 days	Approx. 5 days
Main characteristic	Strength + aesthetics	Metal-free aesthetics	Metal framework + porcelain exterior

This comparison is intentionally general.

Your dentist may recommend one material over another because of factors that cannot be determined from a website.

Which Crown Is Best for Front Teeth?

For front teeth, appearance becomes particularly important because these teeth dominate the visible smile.

Colour is only one part of that.

Translucency, contour, proportions and how the crown integrates with neighbouring natural teeth all affect the final appearance.

We commonly use zirconia for front crowns when clinically appropriate.

Full porcelain may also be considered when a metal-free aesthetic restoration is desired.

The final choice should be made after examining the tooth rather than from a generic online ranking of crown materials.

Which Crown Is Best for Back Teeth?

Posterior teeth experience significant chewing forces.

Strength and function therefore become major considerations.

Zirconia is frequently considered for posterior restorations because of its strength.

PFM crowns may also be used for molars and other posterior teeth in suitable cases.

Full porcelain may be appropriate in certain situations as well, but the dentist needs to consider the exact tooth, bite and material.

The key point is that front and back teeth do not necessarily have identical restorative requirements.

Dental Crown Prices in Sharm El Sheikh

Our dental crown prices are straightforward:

Zirconia crown: €200 per tooth

Full porcelain crown: €200 per tooth

PFM crown: €150 per tooth

Consultation: €40

Temporary crowns can be provided where required but are not automatically included in the crown price, so any applicable temporary restoration cost should be confirmed as part of your treatment plan.

For a single crown, the difference between crown materials may appear relatively modest.

For international patients requiring several crowns, however, the total difference compared with private treatment in the UK can become substantial.

Dental Crown Costs: Sharm El Sheikh vs UK

Private dental crown pricing in the UK varies significantly between practices, regions and materials.

A current 2026 pricing analysis based on 1,758 UK dental practices reports a median private crown price of approximately £950, with a broad range of roughly £950–£1,400. The same analysis places zirconia and other higher-end all-ceramic crowns around £995–1,500, while PFM tends to be lower at approximately £700–£900.

Compare that with our prices in Sharm El Sheikh:

Crown	Sharm El Sheikh	Example Current UK Market Range*
Zirconia	€200	Approx. £950–£1,500
Full porcelain	€200	Often around 1,000 pounds
PFM	€150	Approx. £590–£790

*UK prices vary considerably by clinic, region, material and treatment complexity. These figures are market context, not a claim that every UK dentist charges these amounts.

This difference is significant without exaggerating it.

And that is exactly how we prefer to present dental treatment in Sharm El Sheikh.

The objective is not to offer the lowest possible standard at the lowest possible price.

The advantage for international patients is the opportunity to access professionally planned dental treatment at pricing that can be considerably lower than private dentistry in the UK and parts of Western or Northern Europe.

What About Eight Dental Crowns?

The difference becomes much clearer in larger cases.

At our prices:

8 zirconia crowns = €1,600

8 full porcelain crowns = €1,600

8 PFM crowns = €1,200

Using the 2026 UK zirconia/all-ceramic market range above purely as an illustration, eight crowns priced at £700–£995 each would amount to approximately £5,600–£7,960 before considering differences between individual treatment plans.

This is not an exact like-for-like quotation.

Different dentists, materials, laboratories and clinical cases can produce very different totals.

But it demonstrates why the financial difference can become important for someone requiring multiple restorations.

For patients already planning a holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, there is another consideration: you may already have your flights and accommodation.

Dental treatment can therefore potentially be incorporated into a journey you were taking anyway.

Why Can Crowns Cost Less in Sharm El Sheikh?

A lower price does not automatically tell you whether dental treatment is good or bad.

The cost structure of providing dentistry differs between countries.

Commercial property, salaries, administration and other operating costs vary substantially between Egypt and countries such as the UK.

That can translate into very different patient prices.

Our position is therefore not that patients should choose a crown because it is inexpensive.

A crown affects your natural tooth and needs to fit, function and look appropriate.

The priority remains appropriate diagnosis, material selection, tooth preparation, fit and final result.

The lower treatment price is an advantage, not a substitute for those fundamentals.

How Does the Dental Crown Procedure Work?

Understanding the process is particularly important when arranging crowns during a holiday.

1. Consultation and examination

The dentist first assesses the tooth.

This is where we determine why a crown may be required and whether the tooth is suitable for restoration.

If another dental problem needs to be addressed first, this should form part of the treatment plan.

2. Selecting the crown material

The dentist discusses the available materials with you.

Depending on the case, that may include zirconia, full porcelain or PFM.

The decision can take into account appearance, tooth position, function and your preferences.

3. Local anaesthetic

Local anaesthetic is used when preparing the tooth so that the procedure can be performed comfortably.

If you are anxious about treatment, tell the dentist before the procedure begins.

4. Tooth preparation

A crown needs sufficient space to fit over the tooth.

The dentist therefore prepares the natural tooth by removing an appropriate amount of external tooth structure and shaping it for the planned restoration.

This is a fundamental difference between a crown and some more conservative restorative options.

5. Impression or digital scan

Once the tooth is prepared, an accurate record of its shape and surrounding teeth is required.

We can use conventional dental impressions or digital scanning, depending on the case.

The information is then used for production of the custom crown.

6. Temporary crown

When necessary, a temporary crown can protect the prepared tooth while the final restoration is being produced.

Temporary crowns are not included automatically in our listed crown prices.

Follow the dentist’s instructions while wearing a temporary restoration because it is not designed to function exactly like the final crown.

7. Final crown fitting

At the final fitting, the temporary restoration is removed where applicable.

The dentist checks the new crown, including its fit and relationship with the surrounding teeth.

Adjustments may be made when necessary.

Once the dentist is satisfied that the crown is appropriate, it can be permanently cemented or bonded according to the restoration and clinical situation.

The conventional crown workflow commonly involves preparation, impressions, a temporary restoration and a later fitting of the final crown.

Do Dentists Have to Shave the Tooth for a Crown?

Yes, a conventional crown requires tooth preparation.

This is sometimes described online as “shaving down the tooth.”

That wording can sound alarming without context.

The purpose is to create appropriate space for the crown and a suitable shape for the restoration to fit over the remaining tooth.

The amount of preparation required varies according to the existing tooth, material and clinical situation.

This is also one reason we do not recommend crowns automatically for every cosmetic concern.

If a healthy natural tooth can achieve the desired result through a more conservative procedure, that option may be worth discussing.

Do Dental Crowns Hurt?

The crown procedure is performed with local anaesthetic during tooth preparation.

You should tell the dentist if you feel discomfort during treatment so it can be addressed.

After treatment, some patients experience temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness.

Cleveland Clinic notes that a degree of sensitivity, particularly to temperature, can occur after crown placement and may persist temporarily.

Persistent pain, a crown that feels unusually high when biting, swelling, a loose crown or other concerning symptoms should be assessed by a dentist.

Dental Crowns in Around Five Days

For international patients, treatment time can be almost as important as price.

Our crown treatment can typically be completed within approximately five days.

Most patients require two or three appointments.

The precise schedule depends on the number of crowns and the clinical work required.

This makes crowns practical for many people visiting Sharm El Sheikh for seven or more days.

Rather than travelling to Egypt solely for dentistry, you may be able to combine treatment with an existing Red Sea holiday.

Example 5-Day Crown Treatment Schedule

A typical schedule might look something like this:

Day 1 — Consultation, examination and planning

The dentist assesses your teeth, discusses materials and confirms the treatment plan.

Preparation and impressions or digital scanning may also be carried out according to the planned case.

Days 2–3 — Crown production / intermediate stages

If temporary crowns are required, you wear them while your final restorations are prepared.

Days 4–5 — Trial, adjustments and final fitting

Your final crowns are assessed and adjusted as required before final placement.

This is an example, not a guaranteed timetable.

Some cases move faster, while others require additional time.

Same-day crowns may occasionally be possible in exceptional circumstances, but we do not advertise them as our standard crown workflow.

Can I Get Multiple Crowns During One Holiday?

Yes, multiple crowns can be completed during one visit to Sharm El Sheikh when the case is clinically suitable and enough treatment time is available.

This can include six, eight, ten or more crowns depending on the treatment plan.

Larger cases require more planning than replacing a single crown.

Colour, proportions, bite and the relationship between multiple restorations become increasingly important as the number of treated teeth increases.

If you are considering several crowns, Contact Us before travelling rather than waiting until the final days of your holiday.

Can I Have a Full Smile With Crowns in Seven Days?

A larger crown-based smile transformation can often be planned within approximately seven days in suitable cases.

But not every smile makeover should consist entirely of crowns.

Some teeth may require crowns for restorative reasons.

Others may be better suited to veneers.

Some natural teeth may only need whitening.

Missing teeth may involve dental implants.

A comprehensive Smile Design approach allows the dentist to consider the smile as a whole rather than automatically placing the same restoration on every tooth.

This is particularly useful for international patients seeking a substantial transformation.

Dental Crown vs Veneer

Crowns and veneers can both dramatically change the appearance of a tooth, but they are not interchangeable.

A crown covers the prepared tooth much more extensively.

A veneer primarily covers the visible front surface.

Crowns are commonly used when a tooth needs substantial restorative coverage, whereas veneers are more commonly associated with aesthetic changes to suitable teeth.

If a tooth is heavily damaged, extensively restored or otherwise requires significant coverage, a crown may be appropriate.

If the tooth is comparatively healthy and the concern is mainly cosmetic, a veneer may be worth considering.

Our Dental Veneers in Sharm El Sheikh hub explains the veneer options in detail.

Dental Crown vs Filling

A filling restores a specific damaged portion of a tooth.

A crown provides much more extensive coverage.

A small cavity does not automatically require a crown.

However, when a tooth has lost a substantial amount of structure or already contains a very large filling, the dentist may determine that a crown provides a more appropriate restoration.

There are also intermediate restorative options such as inlays and onlays in some cases. Cleveland Clinic notes that these may be considered when a tooth is too damaged for a filling but does not necessarily warrant full crown coverage.

The correct choice depends on how much healthy tooth remains and the condition of the tooth.

Dental Crown vs Dental Implant

This comparison causes a lot of confusion because an implant treatment can itself include a crown.

A dental crown restores the visible portion of a tooth or forms the visible restoration attached to an implant.

A dental implant replaces the missing tooth root.

If your natural tooth can predictably be restored, the dentist may consider ways to preserve it.

If a tooth cannot be saved and needs to be removed, an implant may be one possible replacement option.

The implant is placed in the jaw, and a restoration such as a crown is eventually attached above it.

Therefore, asking “crown or implant?” is sometimes really asking:

Can my natural tooth be restored with a crown, or does it need to be replaced?

That decision requires examination and appropriate diagnostic information.

Read our Dental Implants in Sharm El Sheikh guide for more information about implant treatment.

Do I Need a Crown, or Can My Natural Tooth Be Saved?

A crown is actually one method of saving and restoring a natural tooth.

It does not replace the tooth root.

The natural tooth remains underneath the restoration.

The more important question is whether the remaining tooth is suitable to support a crown and whether that provides a predictable treatment option.

In some situations, a tooth may be too compromised for a crown.

In other situations, a crown may be unnecessarily extensive because a more conservative restoration can solve the problem.

This cannot be determined responsibly from a website description alone.

The dentist needs to assess the individual tooth.

Dental Crowns After Root Canal Treatment

Crowns and root canal treatment are closely related topics, but they are not the same procedure.

Root canal treatment addresses problems inside the tooth.

A crown restores and protects the external tooth structure.

Depending on how much structure remains and which tooth has been treated, a crown may be recommended after root canal treatment.

Root canal-treated teeth are specifically recognised as one of the situations in which crowns are commonly used.

Dental Crowns on Implants

Crowns can also form the visible part of dental implant treatment.

In this situation, the crown does not cover a prepared natural tooth.

Instead, it forms part of the prosthetic restoration attached to the implant system.

The treatment sequence, components and pricing can therefore differ from a conventional crown placed over a natural tooth.

For that reason, the €150–€200 prices listed on this page should not automatically be assumed to represent the complete price of an implant crown case.

Implant patients require an individual treatment plan.

Our Dental Implants page explains implant treatment separately.

Crowns as Part of a Smile Makeover

Crowns can sometimes be combined with other treatments.

A smile makeover might include:

• crowns for teeth that require structural restoration;
• veneers for selected teeth where cosmetic coverage is appropriate;
• professional whitening for suitable natural teeth;
• dental implants for missing teeth;
• and other treatments according to the patient’s needs.

The advantage of this approach is that every tooth does not automatically receive the same procedure.

The treatment plan can instead use different solutions for different problems.

This is the principle behind our Smile Design and Cosmetic Dentistry in Sharm El Sheikh approach.

Should Healthy Teeth Be Crowned Just for a Better Smile?

This requires careful consideration.

Crowns require tooth preparation and therefore should not be treated as a casual cosmetic accessory.

If a patient’s teeth are healthy and the concern is primarily colour, professional teeth whitening may be worth discussing.

If the concern is cosmetic shape or appearance and the tooth is suitable, veneers or other options may sometimes offer a more conservative approach.

That does not mean crowns cannot provide excellent cosmetic results.

They can.

But the reason for choosing a crown should make sense for the individual tooth.

A trustworthy cosmetic treatment plan should not automatically turn every aesthetic concern into a full crown.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

No responsible dentist can promise that a crown will last forever.

Longevity depends on the restoration, tooth, bite, oral hygiene, habits and other individual factors.

Cleveland Clinic gives an average range of approximately five to 15 years for dental crowns, while noting that some can last considerably longer with appropriate care.

Rather than treating this as an expiry date, think of it as evidence that crowns are long-term restorations but not indestructible ones.

They can eventually wear, chip, fracture, loosen or require replacement.

The tooth underneath also still requires proper oral hygiene.

How Do I Look After a Dental Crown?

A crowned tooth still needs normal dental care.

Brush your teeth thoroughly and clean between them.

Pay particular attention to the area where the crown meets the gum.

Avoid using crowned teeth as tools for opening packages or biting extremely hard objects.

If you grind or clench your teeth, discuss this with your dentist because excessive forces can affect both natural teeth and restorations.

Regular dental examinations remain important even when the crown feels completely normal.

A crown protects and restores the tooth—it does not make the underlying tooth immune to future dental problems.

Can I Fly After Getting a Dental Crown?

For an uncomplicated crown fitting, our international patients can generally fly the following day.

Many patients can return to ordinary activities soon after crown placement; Cleveland Clinic similarly notes that most people can resume routine daily activities immediately after treatment.

However, your own dentist’s instructions take priority because additional dental procedures or complications can change the advice for an individual patient.

If possible, we prefer larger international cases to be completed with enough time remaining in Sharm for any necessary adjustment before departure.

Why International Patients Choose Dental Crowns in Sharm El Sheikh

For visitors from the UK, Ireland and Northern or Western Europe, Sharm El Sheikh offers an unusual combination.

You can access professional dental treatment while staying in a major international holiday destination.

Our clinic is located in the Pyramids Mall area of Sharm El Sheikh and can be reached by taxi from the main hotel and resort areas.

Crown treatment can typically be completed in approximately five days, making it possible to integrate treatment into many seven- to fourteen-day stays.

Our prices are also substantially below typical private UK crown prices:

€200 for zirconia

€200 for full porcelain

€150 for PFM

But price is only one reason.

The objective is to provide international patients with clear treatment planning, appropriate crown options and a result designed around the individual tooth or smile.

A full porcelain crown costs €200 per tooth.

How much is a PFM crown?

A porcelain-fused-to-metal crown costs €150 per tooth.

Which crown is best?

There is no single best crown for every patient. Tooth position, remaining tooth structure, bite, aesthetics and other clinical factors influence material selection.

Is zirconia good for front teeth?

Zirconia can be considered for front teeth and is commonly selected because it combines strength with attractive aesthetics. Whether it is appropriate for your front tooth requires individual assessment.

Is zirconia suitable for molars?

Its high strength makes zirconia a commonly considered material for posterior teeth.

Can PFM crowns be used on back teeth?

Yes. PFM crowns are an established restorative option and may be considered for posterior teeth in appropriate cases.

Are porcelain crowns metal-free?

The full porcelain crowns described on this page are full ceramic and therefore do not use the metal framework found in PFM crowns.

What does PFM mean?

PFM means porcelain fused to metal. The restoration has an internal metal structure covered by tooth-coloured porcelain.

Do you have to shave the tooth for a crown?

A conventional crown requires preparation of the natural tooth to create space and an appropriate shape for the restoration.

Is getting a crown painful?

Local anaesthetic is used during tooth preparation. Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness can occur after treatment. Persistent or significant pain should be assessed by a dentist.

Do I receive a temporary crown?

Temporary crowns are available where required while the final restoration is being produced. They are not automatically included in the listed crown price.

Do you use digital scans for crowns?

We can use digital scanning or conventional dental impressions, depending on the individual case.

How many appointments do I need?

Most crown treatments involve approximately two or three appointments.

Can you make a crown in one day?

Same-day treatment may be possible in exceptional circumstances, but it is not our standard crown workflow. We recommend planning for approximately five days.

Can I get eight or ten crowns during one holiday?

Multiple crowns can be planned during one visit when clinically appropriate. Larger cases require advance planning, and a seven-day treatment window is preferable.

Can crowns be part of a Hollywood smile?

Yes. Crowns may form part of a larger smile makeover when individual teeth require crown coverage. Other teeth may instead be treated with veneers, whitening or another appropriate procedure.

Is a crown the same as a veneer?

No. A crown provides much more extensive coverage of a prepared tooth, while a veneer primarily covers the front surface.

Is a crown the same as an implant?

No. An implant replaces a missing tooth root. A crown can restore a natural tooth or form the visible restoration attached to an implant.

Do root canal-treated teeth need crowns?

Crowns are commonly used for root canal-treated teeth, but whether a particular tooth requires one depends on its location, remaining structure and clinical condition.

How long do crowns last?

Dental crown longevity varies. Cleveland Clinic gives an average range of approximately five to 15 years, although individual restorations may last shorter or substantially longer depending on multiple factors.

Can I fly home after getting my crown?

For an uncomplicated case, our patients can generally fly the following day. Follow the individual advice given by your dentist.

Can I pay by card?

Yes. Card and cash payments are accepted.
