Ceramic crowns and bridges in Casablanca

Protect, restore, replace

A badly damaged or root-treated tooth does not necessarily need to be extracted: a ceramic crown protects it and restores its shape and shade. When a tooth is missing, a bridge or an implant replaces it.

Indications

When is a crown needed?

01

Root-treated tooth

More brittle after root canal treatment: the crown protects it.

02

Fractured tooth

Large cavity or fracture: the crown rebuilds the tooth.

03

Aesthetics

Unattractive colour or shape when a veneer is not enough.

04

Old crown

Damaged metal crown, or one visible at the gum line.

05

On an implant

The crown is screwed or cemented onto the implant.

06

Bridge

Several joined crowns to replace a missing tooth.

Materials

Zirconia or glass-ceramic?

The choice depends on the position of the tooth, the chewing force and the aesthetic requirements.

  • ZirconiaVery strong: molars and multi-unit bridges
  • Glass-ceramic (lithium disilicate)Translucency close to enamel: ideal for front teeth
  • Shade chosen with youIn daylight, for a natural result
Replacing a tooth

Bridge or implant?

01

The bridge

Rests on the two neighbouring teeth, which are prepared to receive crowns.

  • Quick to make
  • Worthwhile if the neighbouring teeth already have crowns
  • Does not preserve the bone under the missing tooth
02

The implant

Replaces the root without touching the neighbouring teeth.

  • Preserves healthy teeth
  • Maintains bone volume
  • Placed with guided surgery
How it works

Your crown, step by step

01

Assessment

Examination, X-ray and, if needed, a CBCT scan.

02

Preparation

Under local anaesthesia, the tooth is prepared and protected with a temporary crown.

03

Digital impression

The intraoral scanner records the preparation and the bite in 3D, with no paste.

04

Choosing the shade

With you, in daylight.

05

Fitting

Try-in, bonding of the final crown and adjustment of the bite.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

Is getting a crown painful?

No, the preparation is done under local anaesthesia. Slight sensitivity may appear for a few days.

Does a tooth need root canal treatment before a crown?

Not always. A living tooth can receive a crown if the nerve is healthy.

How long does a crown last?

Well looked after, it commonly lasts more than ten years. Hygiene, check-ups and a night guard if you grind your teeth extend its life.

Can a crown come off?

Rarely. Keep it and contact the clinic: it can often be re-cemented.
