Dental Crown in Malaga

Teeth weaken over time, either as a result of habitual wear, a bad bite or poorly cared dental treatment. If you are looking for a clinic to perform a dental crown in Malaga, you are in the right place.

Next, we will talk about dental crowns, what they are, the types that exist, prices, and other dental importance.

What are dental crowns

If you do not know what dental crowns are, below we will explain what they are about and why they are so well known in the world of dentistry and dental aesthetics.

Dental crowns are a type of dental prosthesis, similar to covers, that perform a total restoration on a tooth that has suffered some type of oral disease such as cavities, bruxism, trauma, etc. They can even completely restore a tooth.

If your tooth does not have the proper anatomy, structure, or coloration, this type of dental treatment is also usually performed.

Dental crowns are custom made for each specific patient.

Next, we discuss the different types of dental crowns that exist.

Types of dental crowns

Well, in relation to the types of dental crowns, the classification starts from the type of material with which these prostheses are designed. There are many types but the most common are porcelain and composite.

• Porcelain crowns. It is used in a very natural way and it can be combined with a color that is most natural to our teeth before treatment. Although, being made of such a hard material makes it more fragile than resin crowns, but at the same time they are more durable than any type of crown, and can last up to 10 years.
• Resin crowns. These crowns are less durable but much more comfortable and resistant. It is an alternative in which the tooth is formed in much more detail than any other type of crown, starting from the taking of measurements and the implementation on the tooth itself.

Other less common but still current crowns are metallic, acrylic, metal, alumina or zirconium.

• Metal dental crowns. These are characterized by their resistance and durability. The drawback of this material is that it is not very aesthetic.
• Acrylic dental crowns. They are another type of material with which a dental crown can be made. Unlike the metallic ones, they are aesthetically good and cheap, but they are not resistant and have little durability.
• Porcelain on metal, they are the most traditional dental crowns and used by most of the world. When we visit the clinic and the dentist tells us about dental veneers, he is surely referring to these. Its characteristics are the same as the metallic ones but, removing the inconvenience of these, its aesthetics. These porcelain-on-metal dental crowns are aesthetically pleasing and also have long-lasting durability and good resistance.
• Porcelain on alumina, it is another type of dental crown very similar to porcelain on metal, the only difference is found in its aesthetics. Alumina dental crowns fulfill the function of the metallic core of the previous ones, but they have a similar color to the tooth, which achieves better physical results. The drawback of these is that they are not as resistant as metal ones.
• Porcelain on zirconium. These are the most modern ones, they have the advantages of the aluminum ones but they fit like the metal ones.
• Lithium disilicate. They may be the ones with the best aesthetic results due to their high translucency.

How much does a dental crown cost?

We already know the types of dental crowns that exist. But how much does a dental crown cost? Well, the price of the dental crown will depend, logically, on the type of dental crown we choose.

Metal dental crowns normally have a price that ranges between 90 and 150 euros, while ceramic or porcelain ones have a higher price, ranging from 190 to 500 euros.
