Dental crowns are prosthetic structures that cover a weakened tooth or replace the crown of a natural tooth, restoring its shape, function and aesthetics. This treatment is especially indicated when the tooth structure is too compromised to be restored with a simple filling.
At IDC.Clinic, we place crowns on both natural teeth and implants, using durable and aesthetically advanced materials, always supported by digital planning tailored to each clinical case.

After receiving a dental crown, patients should:
The dentist may recommend occlusal guards or adjustments if signs of excessive bite pressure are present.
A photographic protocol is performed and the most suitable crown type is selected (on natural tooth or implant), using digital technologies for greater precision in function and aesthetics.
The tooth is carefully shaped, and provisional crowns are placed during the same appointment to protect the tooth and preserve aesthetics until the final stage.
After tissue healing, the final crowns are placed with proper adjustment of colour, shape and occlusion, ensuring comfort, a natural look and long-term durability.

Results
Dental crowns are long-lasting solutions, but not considered permanent for life. With proper care and regular follow-up, they can last 10 to 15 years or more, depending on the material used and the patient’s oral hygiene.
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is completely pain-free. After placement—either provisional or definitive—you may feel slight sensitivity, which usually resolves within a few days.
Yes. We use high-quality ceramic or zirconia materials that replicate the color, shine and translucency of natural teeth. Each crown is customized to integrate seamlessly with your smile.
Your dentist will perform a clinical and radiographic assessment. In general, when a tooth has lost significant structure or is devitalized, a crown offers greater protection and resistance than a conventional restoration.
Only in very specific cases, usually with provisional solutions. Ongoing bone and tooth development limits the use of permanent crowns in younger patients.
In the first few days, avoid very hard, sticky or extremely hot or cold foods. Afterwards, you can resume your normal diet, maintaining good hygiene habits.
It’s rare, but it can happen due to decay at the tooth base, fractures or habits such as chewing on objects. Regular maintenance and professional follow-up help prevent such issues.
