What is a dental crown?
A dental crown is a type of restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. It helps maintain the tooth’s functionality, reinforces it, and provides an aesthetic look, and can be made from porcelain, metal-ceramic, or zirconia.
TOP-LEVEL DURABILITY AND AESTHETICS
A dental crown is one of the most reliable and long-lasting restorative solutions, ideal for repairing damaged, broken, discolored, or root-treated teeth. Thanks to digital design and premium-quality materials, the final result fits perfectly, provides a natural appearance, and maintains long-term stability. A dental crown not only enhances the smile aesthetically but also protects the tooth from further damage, making it an ideal choice for any patient seeking a durable, high-quality restoration.
AESTHETIC OPTIONS MADE FROM PREMIUM MATERIALS
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, allowing every patient to find the solution that best suits their needs. Premium ceramic and zirconia crowns offer a natural appearance, while metal-ceramic and gold crowns are known for their exceptional durability. Below is a brief overview of the most commonly used types.
1
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crown: It has an inner metal framework and an outer porcelain layer, providing excellent durability and stability. It withstands high chewing forces well, making it especially ideal for posterior teeth, but in suitable cases it can also be used for aesthetically restoring front teeth.
2
Ceramic crown: A completely metal-free crown made of porcelain, offering exceptional aesthetics and a highly natural appearance. It is an ideal choice for restoring front teeth, where appearance is especially important.
3
Zirconia crown: An extremely durable, fully metal-free restoration that provides exceptional strength along with a highly aesthetic, natural-looking appearance. Thanks to its premium zirconia framework, it withstands strong biting forces, making it an ideal choice for both front and molar teeth. Its biocompatibility and lifelike appearance make it one of the most popular types of modern dental restorations.
4
Gold crown: An extremely durable, precisely fitting, and biocompatible restoration that is gentle on opposing teeth and the gums. Thanks to its high strength, it provides a long-lasting and reliable solution, especially for molars. Although it is less favorable aesthetically, it remains a popular choice due to its outstanding longevity and stability.
Step by step
We briefly present the process of making a dental crown, from the preparation and impression taking all the way to the fabrication and placement of the final crown.
Consultation
The first step is a personal consultation, during which the dentist examines the teeth, assesses their condition, and selects the appropriate type of crown.
Tooth preparation and impression taking
First, the dentist prepares the tooth, and if it is severely damaged, a build-up or post is used to ensure stable support. Then, a traditional impression or a digital 3D scan is taken, based on which the dental laboratory fabricates the precisely fitting final crown.
Placement of a temporary crown
Until the final crown is ready, the patient receives a temporary crown, which protects the prepared tooth, ensures an aesthetic appearance, and allows comfortable chewing.
Fabrication of the final crown
Based on the impression or digital scan, the dental laboratory precisely shapes the crown, taking into account the tooth’s color, shape, and bite alignment. The resulting crown matches the natural teeth both aesthetically and functionally, ensuring a durable and comfortable outcome.
Final crown placement
The dentist checks the crown’s fit, shape, color, and bite, making fine adjustments if necessary. Once everything is perfect, the crown is permanently cemented with a special adhesive, restoring the tooth to a stable, functional, and aesthetic state.
Root canal filling
During root canal filling, the dentist fills the cleaned root canals with a special material to prevent reinfection. After drying the canals, the filling material is placed along their entire length to hermetically seal the canal cavity.

Maximum Safety for Your Teeth
The rubber dam is a protective rubber sheet system we use during every root canal treatment. It keeps the patient safe by preventing infections, shielding the mouth from chemicals, and allowing the teeth to be treated in a completely dry, clean environment. As a result, procedures are faster, more precise, and more comfortable, while the chances of treatment success increase.
When dental crown Is Recommended?
Extensive Decay or Broken Tooth
If a tooth has suffered mechanical damage (fracture, crack) or extensive decay, a traditional filling may no longer provide adequate protection. A crown completely covers the tooth, restores its original shape, reinforces its structure, and prevents further breakage or damage.
Root-Treated Tooth
Root-treated teeth are often fragile due to the removal of internal tissue. A crown surrounds and reinforces the tooth, preserving its functionality over the long term and protecting it against chewing forces.
Aesthetic Restoration
A crown can be used not only for functional but also for aesthetic purposes. For discolored, deformed, or irregularly shaped teeth, a crown provides a natural-looking, harmonious smile, enhancing the patient’s confidence and appearance.
Instead of Large Fillings
If a tooth already has multiple or large fillings, its structure becomes weaker, and additional fillings may not provide long-term protection. A crown stabilizes the tooth permanently, reduces the risk of fracture, and offers a long-lasting solution for tooth preservation.

An Unexpected Solution for Inflamed Skin
Dental Problem Behind Skin Issues – Don’t Spend Only on Cosmetics!
I have always taken great care of my teeth, yet due to an over-drilled filling one of them had to undergo root canal treatment four years ago.
‘It is a relatively new discovery that an inflammatory process developing in one part of the body can trigger disease in another.’ At first it seemed astonishing that a dental infection could be behind my eczema. Yet this is exactly what happened: the bacteria causing the inflammation, or the toxins they produced, reached the skin on my face through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and caused a rash.
Unfortunately, neither dermatologists nor cosmetic or laser treatments could relieve the symptom, so I decided to consult a dentist as well. Dr. László Póti saw on the panoramic X-ray and the in-office CT scan that my root-treated tooth was indeed inflamed.
The next step was to eliminate the inflammation around the root tip, which required a new ‘microscope-assisted’ root canal treatment. Unlike traditional root canal therapy, the microscopic approach saved my tooth painlessly in a single session with perfect cleaning. After the treatment, as the inflammation subsided, my eczema symptoms diminished and disappeared completely within a few days.
