Dental Crowns

What are dental crowns?

A crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, root-treated or heavily filled tooth, restoring its strength, shape and appearance. Modern all-ceramic materials — zirconia and E.max — are both remarkably strong and indistinguishable from natural enamel.

Crowns also sit on top of dental implants and anchor bridges that replace missing teeth.

Are you a good candidate?

If you have broken, weakened, root-treated or severely discoloured teeth, crowns are often the right answer. Where a tooth can be saved more conservatively — a veneer or onlay — an honest dentist says so; where it cannot, a crown protects what remains for the long term.

Healthy gums are the foundation, so any gum inflammation is treated first.

The process, step by step

First appointment: examination, X-rays, preparation of the teeth and precise impressions or digital scans. You leave with natural-looking temporaries. The laboratory crafts your crowns in the following days.

Second appointment: try-in, bite check, shade approval, and final cementation. Most crown treatments in Agadir are complete within 4–6 days.

Recovery

Expect mild sensitivity for a few days and a short adjustment to your new bite. There is no real downtime — patients routinely combine crown work with a relaxed holiday.

Your dentist remains available on video for any question after you return home, free of charge.

Risks — honestly

Risks include sensitivity, the occasional need for root treatment on a heavily prepared tooth, chipping (rare with modern ceramics) and edge decay if hygiene slips. Good preparation, precise fit and your own care make crowns a decades-long solution.

Why Agadir?

€180–320 per crown versus €400–1,000 at home. Patients needing six, eight or more crowns routinely save several thousand euros — and spend the week between appointments on the corniche.
