We invite you to contact us: - When a tooth is too damaged to be restored in any other way (breakage, accident, fracture, very large cavity) - When it is necessary to rescue a severely weakened tooth (by substantial dental filling, often in amalgam). - When it is necessary to replace a crown for functional reasons (broken, recurrent loosening) or aesthetic reasons (poor shade, margin that has become visible). - In case of severe wear of the dental surfaces in connection with bruxism. - For aesthetic corrections in the anterior region.

Here are the different steps of **placing a dental crown** to restore a tooth: - The tooth is cleaned and milled to prepare it for the upcoming steps. - An impression (classic or digital camera) is sent to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of the final crown. - A temporary resin crown is placed on your tooth during the production period. When the latter is damaged and badly decayed, a tenon (reinforcing rod) can be placed inside. - After a trial period, the final dental crown is attached and provides shape and function to your tooth in a durable way.

This solution allows you to preserve your natural teeth. Tooth and crown loss can occur as a result of an accident or due to caries, old age or poor hygiene. #### Does it hurt to have a dental crown attached? The placement of a dental crown is painless. The preparation of the tooth and the fitting of the crown are carried out under local anaesthetic. The procedure is therefore totally painless, except in rare cases of resistance to anaesthetic products, in conditions of extreme fatigue or in the case of regular and consequent consumption of cannabis (which neutralizes the active agent of the dental anaesthetic). #### What is the price of a dental crown? The average price of a dental crown is 1,600 CHF. However, the cost of a crown may vary depending on its size and location.
