Question 1

What is a dental crown ?

Accepted Answer

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns are used to protect weak teeth, restore broken teeth, cover dental implants, or improve the aesthetics of discolored teeth.

Question 2

How long do dental crowns last?

Accepted Answer

Zirconia crowns and all-ceramic dental crowns typically last 10-15+ years with proper dental care and good oral hygiene. The lifespan of your crown depends on the crown material, your oral hygiene habits, and regular dental check-ups at your dental clinic.

Question 3

Is getting a dental crown painful?

Accepted Answer

The crown treatment procedure is not painful because local anesthesia is used during tooth preparation. You may experience minor sensitivity after the anesthesia wears off, but this typically resolves within a few days. Most patients report that getting a dental crown is no more uncomfortable than getting a dental filling.

Question 4

Can I still eat normally with a dental crown?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Once your permanent crown is bonded to your tooth, you can eat normally. Dental crowns are designed to withstand normal chewing forces. However, we recommend avoiding extremely hard foods (ice, hard candy) that could damage any tooth, crowned or natural.

Question 5

What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?

Accepted Answer

A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is used for damaged or weak teeth requiring structural restoration. Dental veneers are thin shells that cover only the front surface of teeth and are primarily used for cosmetic purposes on healthy teeth.

Question 6

How much do dental crowns cost in Bangkok?

Accepted Answer

Dental crown prices in Bangkok range from 16,000 THB ($490 USD) for all-ceramic crowns to 18,000 THB ($550 USD) for zirconia crowns. These prices include the crown material, dental laboratory work, and placement by our dentist.

Question 7

Which type of crown material is best?

Accepted Answer

The best crown material depends on your specific needs. Zirconia crowns offer the best combination of strength and aesthetics, ideal for both anterior and posterior teeth. All-ceramic crowns (E-max) provide superior aesthetics for front teeth. Your dentist Bangkok will recommend the best type of crown for your situation.

Question 8

How many visits are required for dental crown?

Accepted Answer

Traditional dental crowns typically require 2 visits over approximately 7 days. The first visit includes consultation, tooth preparation, and temporary crown placement. The second visit is for permanent crown bonding and final adjustments.
