Dental Crowns in Costa Rica, Procedures and Prices

A dental crown is a type of restoration that covers a damaged tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are often used when a tooth has been weakened by decay, a large filling, or injury.

Process Of Getting a Dental Crown

The process of getting a crown typically involves two visits.

First Visit:

During the first visit, we will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to fit the crown. We then take an impression of the tooth, which is used to create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth. In the meantime, you may receive a temporary crown to protect the tooth.

Second Visit:

On your second visit, we will remove the temporary crown and place the permanent crown, securing it in position. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, depending on your needs and preferences.

Overall, dental crowns help restore function and improve the appearance of your smile!
