Book nowA metal-ceramic crown is a fixed restoration with a durable metal framework covered by tooth-coloured ceramic. It is fitted over a heavily damaged, root-canal-treated or weakened tooth to rebuild its shape, restore chewing function and improve appearance. The crown protects the remaining tooth from further fracture and is also used on implants and as part of bridges.
- A tooth destroyed by more than half through decay or trauma that a filling can no longer restore
- A tooth after root-canal treatment, which becomes brittle and needs protective coverage
- A missing tooth needs to be replaced with an implant crown or a bridge
- A large old filling is failing or the tooth's shape and colour need restoring

FAQ
How long does a metal-ceramic crown last?
With good care and regular hygiene it usually lasts 8–12 years or more; the exact lifespan depends on the tooth and chewing load.
Is preparing the tooth and fitting the crown painful?
Preparation is done under local anaesthesia, so the procedure is usually painless; mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is possible.
What is the difference between metal-ceramic and zirconia?
Metal-ceramic has a metal framework under the ceramic — strong and more affordable; zirconia is metal-free, looks more natural and usually costs more. Your dentist can advise which fits your case.
Can the tooth under the crown still decay?
Decay can develop at the crown margin if hygiene is poor, so regular cleaning and a check-up once or twice a year are important.
How long does it take to make the crown?
It usually takes 2–3 visits and a few days of lab work (often 1–2 weeks); the timeframe depends on the clinic and the case.
What should I watch for after the crown is placed?
Avoid very hard or sticky foods at first, brush twice a day and use floss; see your dentist if you notice pain, looseness or an uneven bite.
