Dental crowns at Ky Hoa Dental

When you should come in

  • A tooth is too badly broken for a filling to hold
  • A root-treated tooth has become brittle and is prone to cracking
  • A tooth is discoloured and has not improved with other approaches
  • A bridge is needed to replace a missing tooth

What happens at Ky Hoa Dental

  1. Examination, X-ray and advice on the type of crown suited to your tooth
  2. A detailed cost estimate before any work begins (this is a self-pay service)
  3. The tooth is prepared, an impression is taken and a temporary crown is fitted
  4. The crown is made in the laboratory and tried in
  5. The crown is cemented, the bite is adjusted and you are given care instructions

How health insurance applies

This is a restorative and cosmetic service, so it falls outside health insurance (BHYT) coverage. The cost will be explained clearly before any work begins. Note that treatment of an underlying condition beforehand may still be covered.

Frequently asked questions

Are dental crowns covered by health insurance?

No. A crown is a restorative and cosmetic treatment using a replacement material, so it falls outside health insurance coverage. However, any treatment of the underlying condition beforehand - root canal treatment of the tooth to be crowned, for example - may be covered.

Do I always need a crown after root canal treatment?

Not in every case. The dentist assesses how much tooth structure remains and where the tooth sits: some teeth only need a filling, while others are better protected with a crown so they do not fracture during chewing.

How long do crowns last?

That depends on the material, how the work is carried out and how well each person cleans and looks after them. The dentist will discuss this with you and explain how to care for the crown.
