What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped “cap” placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Bulvardiş, we use crowns to fully encase the visible portion of a tooth that has been compromised by decay, injury, or wear. Whether we use Zirconium, E-max, or high-grade porcelain, our goal is to protect the underlying natural structure while providing a look that is indistinguishable from your original teeth.3
When are Dental Crowns Necessary?
Our senior specialists, with over 20 years of expertise, recommend crowns in various clinical scenarios:
- Structural Protection: To protect a weakened tooth (e.g., from decay) from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth.
- Restoration: To restore a tooth that is already broken or severely worn down.
- Post-Root Canal Support: To cover and support a tooth after a root canal treatment, as these teeth can become brittle over time.
- Dental Implants: As the final aesthetic and functional piece placed on top of a dental implant.5
- Aesthetic Transformations: To cover misshapen or severely discolored teeth when other cosmetic options are not sufficient.
The Advantages of the Bulvardiş Standard
Choosing a crown at Bulvardiş offers significant benefits beyond simple repair:
- Reinforced Strength: Crowns provide a protective shield, extending the life of your natural tooth for years.
- Artistic Aesthetics: We focus on Bio-Mimicry. Every crown is hand-finished to ensure the color, texture, and light translucency match your surrounding teeth.3
- Improved Function: Restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably, contributing to better overall oral health.
- Longevity: With our meticulous bonding protocols and 20 years of technical refinement, our crowns are designed to last 10–15 years with proper care.4
- Gum Health Integration: We prioritize bio-compatible materials that integrate perfectly with your gum line, preventing irritation and ensuring a healthy appearance.
The Procedure: Meticulous and Gentle
The process of receiving a dental crown at Bulvardiş is typically completed in 2–3 visits, focused entirely on your comfort:
- Initial Evaluation: Our experienced doctors perform a comprehensive exam, using digital diagnostics to understand the tooth’s foundation.
- Preparation: We follow a Micro-Prep protocol, gently reshaping the tooth to create space for the crown while preserving as much natural enamel as possible.3
- Impression & Temporary Crown: A precise digital impression is taken to ensure a millimetric fit. A temporary crown is then placed to protect your tooth and maintain your smile while your permanent restoration is crafted.
- Final Bonding: Once your custom crown is ready, we meticulously adjust the fit, bite, and color before bonding it permanently into place.
Material Choices: Expert Guidance for Your Needs
The choice of material depends on your specific needs, budget, and the location of the tooth. Our 20 years of experience allows us to guide you to the perfect choice:
- Zirconium: Highly durable and metal-free, making it the preferred choice for both strength (back teeth) and aesthetics (front teeth).3
- E-max (Lithium Disilicate): The gold standard for front teeth, offering the highest level of translucency and natural beauty.3
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): A traditional, durable option often used for its strength in complex bridge cases.
Temporary vs. Permanent Crowns: Why the Detail Matters
A hallmark of boutique care is the attention paid to the “transition” phase.
- Temporary Crowns: These are essential for maintaining function and protecting the prepared tooth from sensitivity while the lab crafts your permanent crown.
- Permanent Crowns: These are the final, high-strength masterpieces. Designed for the long term, they are resistant to the daily forces of chewing and provide a permanent aesthetic upgrade.
Aftercare: Protecting Your Investment
Maintaining your new crown is as simple as caring for your natural teeth. We recommend:
- Standard oral hygiene (brushing twice daily and flossing).
- Avoiding using your teeth as “tools” (e.g., opening packages).
- Regular check-ups at Bulvardiş (we recommend twice a year) to monitor the integrity of the restoration.
