Dental Crowns restore teeth that are broken, badly decayed, or have had root canal treatment, back to strength and function like a natural tooth. This article covers everything you need to know — price, process, and lifespan — from Panda Dental Clinic.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A crown is a material that covers the entire visible tooth after it’s reduced in size, replacing the original enamel and reinforcing strength so the tooth can chew normally. Panda Dental Clinic uses All Ceramic material, which looks close to a natural tooth and is strong and durable.
Who Should Get a Crown?
- Those who’ve had root canal treatment, since the tooth becomes brittle and needs protection
- Those with cracked, fractured, or badly decayed teeth beyond what a regular filling can fix
- Those needing an anchor tooth for a bridge
- Those with a dental implant needing a crown on top
Crown Price at Panda Dental Clinic
Service | Price |
|---|---|
Temporary crown / tooth | 2,000–5,000 baht |
All Ceramic crown / tooth (installments available) | 12,000–20,000 baht |
Removing a crown made elsewhere / tooth | 1,500–2,000 baht |
Re-cementing a crown made elsewhere / tooth | 500–1,000 baht |
All Ceramic crowns can be paid in installments — ask the clinic for payment plan details.
Crown Treatment Steps
- Check tooth condition and X-ray to assess strength
- Local anesthesia, then reduce the tooth to a smaller size to prepare space
- Take impressions or digital scan sent to the lab to make the crown, with a temporary crown fitted while you wait
- Second visit (about 1–2 weeks later) to bond the final crown to your tooth
Does Getting a Crown Hurt?
Generally not, since local anesthesia is used while reducing the tooth — you’ll only feel vibration from the tools. Once the anesthesia wears off, you may have mild sensitivity or irritation for 1–2 days, which improves on its own.
How Long Do Crowns Last?
A well-cared-for All Ceramic crown can last many years, depending on your usage habits and oral care. Your dentist recommends regular checkups to monitor the crown’s condition.
My Crown Fell Out, or Was Made Elsewhere — What Now?
If your original crown fell out but is still in good condition, your dentist can re-cement it for 500–1,000 baht. If you want a new crown, or the original is damaged, the old crown needs removing first (1,500–2,000 baht), then a new one made.
Caring for Your Teeth After Getting a Crown
- Avoid biting hard things like ice or bones, to prevent the crown cracking or coming loose
- Brush and floss as usual, especially around the crown edge
- Get regular checkups every 6 months so your dentist can check the crown and gums
Summary
Dental crowns restore damaged teeth back to strength for long-term use, especially teeth that have had root canal treatment.
