At Mondzorgpraktijk Haarlem Noord you can receive complete oral care, including crowns. In collaboration with our dental technician, we create beautiful and high-quality crown work. Our experienced dentists can advise you whether a crown will be necessary for you.
What exactly are crowns?
A crown is a cap made of metal and/or porcelain that fits exactly over a ground tooth. The cap is glued to the tooth. A crown restores the tooth to its original shape and function.
What material are crowns made of?
Full porcelain crowns Porcelain crowns can be used in many situations. New techniques have reduced the chance of breakage. The material is tooth-colored and looks very natural. Metal-porcelain Metal is used as a base. For appearance, a layer of tooth-colored porcelain is applied over the visible metal. Metal Sometimes crowns are only made of metal. This material is very strong and wear-resistant. They then get a gold or silver-colored gold alloy. Because of the color, the dentist only places them in the back of the mouth.
Are crowns reimbursed by health insurance?
Many insurers reimburse part of the costs for crowns, but it is important to consult your insurer about the specific coverage and reimbursement under your policy. Your dentist at Mondzorgpraktijk Haarlem Noord can draw up a budget for you, which you can use to inquire with your insurance company.
When are crowns placed?
1. There is insufficient support for a filling. A large part of the tooth or molar may be lost due to tooth decay. 2. To prevent fracture of a tooth or molar in the event of a large filling and/or root canal treatment. 3. To improve the appearance. This usually concerns discolored and/or poorly shaped teeth or molars at the front of the mouth.
