Dental crowns in Palma
The fit of the margin is what decides how long they last.
When a tooth needs a crown
When it has lost too much structure to hold with a filling: large fractures, extensive decay, or root-treated teeth left weakened. The crown wraps the whole tooth and spreads the force of the bite across it.
Where a crown really fails
At the margin, nearly always. The smallest step between crown and tooth gathers plaque, inflames the gum and eventually produces decay underneath. That is why intraoral scanning was a real improvement over the putty impression, which distorts.
Before recommending a crown we consider whether a partial adhesive restoration would solve the case while keeping more of your own tooth.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 Crown or veneer?
A veneer covers only the visible face and keeps more of the healthy tooth: it's the option when the problem is cosmetic and the tooth is healthy. A crown covers the whole tooth and is used when there is significant damage, a previous root canal or a fracture.
02 What are crowns made of?
We work metal-free: monolithic zirconia or porcelain, depending on the case. Both are biocompatible and natural-looking.
03 How long does a dental crown last?
With proper hygiene and periodic check-ups, many years. Wear from uncontrolled bruxism is the most common reason its lifespan shortens.
04 Does preparing the tooth hurt?
It's done under local anaesthetic. Recovery is usually mild, with some sensitivity in the first few days.
