What it is
A crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength and appearance. Common materials include porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-porcelain and zirconia.
Trips needed
Typically 2 visits for a lab-made crown, or 1 visit if the clinic uses same-day CAD/CAM milling.
Questions to ask any clinic
- What material is the crown made of, and is it zirconia, porcelain or metal-based?
- Is the price per crown, and what does it cost to add another crown or a post and core?
- What is the written warranty on the crown, and what does it not cover?
- Where is the crown made, and how long does the lab take?
- What is the license number (cédula profesional) of the dentist who will prepare and place the crown?
