Dental crowns in Tunisia

Before opting for a dental crown, consider the following:

• Tooth Condition: Teeth damaged or treated with root canal therapy are ideal candidates.
• Material Choice: The type of material (ceramic, metal, etc.) affects aesthetics, durability, and cost.

Dental crowns are recommended for individuals:

• With severely damaged or decayed teeth.
• Needing protection after a root canal treatment.
• Wishing to enhance the appearance of their teeth.

• Durable Protection: Crowns shield fragile teeth from further damage.
• Aesthetic Appearance: Modern crowns mimic the look of natural teeth perfectly.
• Improved Functionality: Restores the ability to chew and speak effectively.

• Ceramic Crowns: Known for their aesthetics, ideal for visible teeth.
• Metal Crowns: Highly durable, often used for molars.
• Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns: Combine the strength of metal with the beauty of ceramic.

• Porcelain Crowns: Aesthetic and suitable for front teeth.
• Gold or Metal Crowns: Exceptional longevity but less aesthetic.
• Composite Resin Crowns: More affordable but less durable.

1. Tooth Preparation: The tooth is shaped to fit the crown.
2. Impression Taking: Molds are created to design a custom crown.
3. Temporary Crown: A provisional crown is placed while the permanent one is made.
4. Permanent Crown Placement: The permanent crown is cemented in place.

• Tooth Sensitivity: Possible during the first few days after placement.
• Oral Hygiene: Maintain proper dental hygiene for the crown’s longevity.
• Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups to monitor the crown’s condition.

Dental crowns can last 10–15 years or longer with proper care and oral hygiene.

• Strict Hygiene Routine: Brush at least twice a day and floss regularly.
• Avoid Staining Substances: Limit coffee, tea, and other products that may stain teeth.

Results are immediately visible after placement, though it may take a few days to adjust to the feel of the new crown.
