Porcelain (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crowns provide an excellent and cost-effective solution in cases when the tooth is so damaged it cannot be fixed by a filling or a veneer.
The porcelain crowns are produced using a special, computer-aided technology in a CAD-CAM system (Computer Aided Design et Computer Aided Manufacturing). The process of manufacturing the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown is almost completely automatized.
At the Medicover Dental Clinic, we only use high-quality materials to make porcelain crowns.
The cost of a porcelain crown depends on the complexity of the treatment and the materials used. Below, we will show you three examples for different scenarios (these estimates do not contain the prices of other treatments that might be necessary depending on the patient’s condition).

Bridges are dental restorations made up of two or more crowns. They can be used for partial or complete restorations. They needed to be supported at least on two points to ensure their stability. Bridges are usually supported by natural teeth, but they can also be placed onto implants (artificial roots).
If only one tooth is missing, the two adjacent teeth can be used as abutment to support the bridge. After the preparation and reduction of the two supporting teeth, an impression is taken, and the cast is sent to the laboratory to construct the three-unit bridge. The middle unit of the bridge is supposed to replace the missing tooth and the two adjacent units fit perfectly onto the prepared teeth. The bridge is bonded to the teeth with a special dental cement.

The complete bridge can be an ideal solution if the patient is missing the majority or all of their teeth or if their teeth are aesthetically lacking. If the patient has no teeth at all, the bridge needs to be placed onto implants (the cost of implants and abutments are not included in the below estimates. To learn more about the cost of implants, click here).
Porcelain crowns are high-quality, durable and aesthetic restorations. The colour of the crowns match the natural teeth, so after the treatment the patients can smile with full confidence.
