Dental Crowns - Results

Through the installation of dental crowns, the form and stability of teeth can normally be partially or fully regained. The most visually appealing results are achieved by all-ceramic crowns. Telling the difference between this type of crown and natural teeth is almost impossible. For this reason, they are often used for highly-visible incisors and canines.

Long-term results depend heavily on your individual dental care. With good care, full gold crowns can have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years. Crowns made of ceramic achieve a lifespan of 10 years in addition to their superior optical characteristics; long-term studies confirm this lifespan.⁹
Crowns made of synthetic material often discolor gradually and can therefore become unsightly after five to seven years.¹⁰ Ceramic is very biocompatible and causes no chemical reactions in the body.¹¹
