How much does it cost to put a ceramic crown on the tooth, the features of pricing, the pros and cons of ceramics

The crown is a prosthetic tooth that helps restore the normal anatomical shape of the tooth, preserving the chewing function and giving the aesthetic look to the smile.It is necessary to strengthen the destroyed tooth, so that destruction does not go further.They are single or connected to each other.The latter is called a bridge.

At the tooth before the installation of such a prosthesis, the root canals are first indurated, restoring the crown part with the help of a seal.Then the tooth is rounded by 1.5-2 mm , this is the thickness of the future crown.Its edge should be immersed in the gum at 0.3-0.5 mm.

Indications for installation

Crowns are installed in the following cases:

• If it is destroyed more than half.In most cases, these teeth are removed nerves, resulting in they become brittle and lifeless.
• If the hard tooth tissues of the are strongly erased and this is clearly visible.Such prostheses in this situation help to eliminate this problem, do not allow the bite to lose height, restoring it.
• If there is no tooth.Crown in this case is installed in its place, and the adjacent teeth are grinded under the supports of the bridge prosthesis.
• If the tooth has changed color, shape or size.In this case, the eliminates the wide gaps of the between them.

If the tooth is too loose, this is a contraindication for fitting the prosthesis.

Types of crowns

Depending on the materials used, the crowns are of the following types:

• Metal ceramic.
• Ceramic.
• One-piece.
• Metal-plastic.
• For implants.

Cost of the crown on the teeth

• Ceramic-ceramic.

cermets are characterized by high strength , a beautiful appearance and an affordable price.Their disadvantage is that the teeth are ground on each side by 1.5-2 mm and are depopulated.

How much does a crown for a tooth of cermets?For example, made of German high-quality ceramics or Japanese ceramics with a cobalt-chrome alloy of excellent quality, provided that it was made by an orthopedic doctor and dental technician of the highest qualification, it will cost about 6,000 rubles.

In dental clinics they can offer a ceramic-metal crown with a cost of 4.5 thousand rubles.Basically it is made of cheap materials, for example, metal or ceramic mass, of domestic production or Belarusian .They are also prescribed by doctors who do not have high qualifications.

If the cermet is made on a gold-palladium or gold-platinum alloy, then its price will fluctuate within 9,000 rubles, excluding the cost of gold.Such a cermet tooth along with gold will cost about 17,000 rubles .

There are times when a patient is first put on temporary crowns.The cost of one unit will be equal to 800-1000 rubles, which is added to the basic value.

• Ceramic.

Their main difference from cermets is that they are made entirely of a ceramic mass that does not have a metal frame inside it.This significantly improves the appearance of the dentures, they can hardly be distinguished from real teeth.Ceramic crowns are made from porcelain and zirconia.

Porcelain crowns are remarkably reminiscent of natural teeth, because this material is similar in properties to the natural enamel of the tooth.It is not recommended to make bridges of such material.The cost is quite high - about 13,000 rubles for one unit of .To this is added the cost of a temporary plastic crown.

Crowns made of zirconium dioxide are made of a very strong frame based on zirconium dioxide, and on top of it porcelain mass is applied.They have a lot of advantages - they have a wonderful appearance, very closely fit, heavy-duty, reliable, durable.The disadvantage is a high price.The cost of one unit is 16,000 rubles .To this, the cost of temporary plastic dentures is also added.

• One-piece.

Solid-cast tooth structures are manufactured in a modern way, when they are cast from metal according to the exact model, and not stamped from the sleeve.The material used is a cobalt-chromium alloy.The price of them begins from 3.6 thousand rubles .They can also be made of gold.They are manufactured in state dental clinics, because working with this metal requires a license, which is very difficult to obtain.The price of gold crowns is composed of the cost of gold and works.Large dentures require a lot of gold, so the cost will be more expensive than usual.

• Metal-plastic.

Such crowns are considered to be combined.They are made by the method of solid casting from cobalt-chromium alloy, and the front part of is lined with snow-white plastic .Appearance is quite aesthetic.Disadvantages of metal-plastic teeth are as follows: after a while, the plastic from white to gray.In addition, plastic can absorb liquid and this swells.Because of this, after a while, the smell of unclean teeth will come from her.

Such prostheses are unreliable.If you strongly clench your teeth, the plastic lining can easily fall out.In addition, plastic is not entirely safe for the human body, because it contains a chemical active monomer in a small amount, in the , which lasts quite long .

Despite these drawbacks, such dentures are considered very popular among clients of dental clinics because of their low price, which is 4,000 rubles.Dental crowns for implants.

• .

The cost of the design for implants depends directly on the material used.It can be cermet or non-metal ceramics.The cost of crowns on implants is very different from the cost of conventional.This is due to the fact that their is more difficult to manufacture and they are fixed to the implant in a different way.

The cost of a metal-ceramic crown for implants ranges from 10 000 to 14 000 rubles.Metal-free ceramics has a price of 25,000 rubles per unit.
