A crown is a cap, which covers the whole surface of your tooth. It restores the tooth to its original shape, size, and function. A crown can make the tooth stronger or improve the way it looks. It could be made with a metal frame covered by white (tooth colored) porcelain or from a metal free material. Dental crown can only be placed on a natural tooth. If a missing tooth should be replaced a bridge would be recommended.

What is a dental crown?

When and why do I need a dental crown?
A dentist might suggest having a crown in the following cases:
- the tooth is decayed or has a cavity which is too big for a filling
- having problems but still can be saved and no extraction is recommended
- if you had root canal treatment the crown will protect the tooth
- or you can also have a crown for aesthetic reason simply, when you are not satisfied with the aesthetics of your tooth



What are the pros and cons of a dental crown?
The pros of having a dental crown are:
- you can protect, keep and preserve the healthy part of your tooth
- protect the tooth after root canal treatment
- improve the appearance of a tooth by changing its shape or color
The cons of having a dental crown are:
- may experience discomfort shortly after the work is completed, particularly sensitivity to hot or cold (this can be treated by using a special toothpaste)
- crowns can sometimes be chipped (this could be corrected under the guarantee)
- cementing can get loose in some case, but refitting is possible in most of the cases

I am EXTREMELY nervous of dentists, to the point where I start crying just sitting in the waiting room. Everyone at Vital Europe was so lovely, both in the UK and in Budapest and they managed to make what I was building up to be a horrific experience, into one that I won't say I enjoyed - because I hate dentists, (sorry Vital Europe) but that I dealt with, with the minimum amount of fuss and tears. I had my top two front teeth crowned as they were discoloured, and now, have a near perfect smile again. I normally have to be properly sedated to have a dentist even approach me, however unfortunately, that was not an option as they needed me to be coherent and agree on shape and shading. Answer, I was given two sedative tablets an hour before each appointment which took the edge of everything. I've just been for my first check up in London after my crowns were put in, (minus sedative tablets), and again, everyone was so kind and patient, despite me getting the appointment time wrong. I cannot praise all at Vital Europe enough and will be going to them for any dental treatment I need in the future. Thank you everyone at Vital Europe in London and BudapestPosted on Googlekristin milward26. October, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I was treated with exceptional care and kindness throughout my treatment with VitalEurope. The dentistry itself was first class and conducted at a speed that would never happen in the UK. The result was that I was able to have all the work - which included the making and fitting of three new crowns - done within a week. I have nothing but praise for the dental staff and the wonderful people on reception. Thank you all so much.Posted on GoogleJean-Hugues Jousset21.
