How long your crown takes depends on the crown type, the dentist treating you and public holidays \u2014 as little as 1 day, and usually the crown is fitted 3\u20135 days after the tooth is prepared. More visits are needed if the tooth needs root canal treatment or a post first.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-2\"><h3>Can I get a crown in a single visit?<\/h3><p>A crown takes two visits. The quickest crowns are ready in 1 day, and your crown is usually fitted 3\u20135 days after the tooth is prepared.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-3\"><h3>What types of crowns do you make?<\/h3><p>Zirconia, all-ceramic, porcelain fused to metal and full metal crowns, including digital CAD\/CAM crowns. Your dentist chooses the material for your case, based on the tooth, where it is and the shade of your teeth. Prices for each type are on our prices page.<\/p><div class=\"nxs\"><a class=\"nx\" href=\"\/prices\/#filling\">See crown prices<svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-4\"><h3>Does getting a crown hurt?<\/h3><p>The tooth is usually numbed with local anesthesia while it is prepared. Afterwards the tooth or gum may feel sensitive or sore for a while; tell your dentist if it does not settle, and ask for pain relief if you need it.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-5\"><h3>Is there a warranty on crowns?<\/h3><p>Yes. Crowns and other laboratory work have a 1-year warranty on the restoration, terms apply. It is used at our clinic in Chiang Mai, covers work done at the clinic only, and does not include travel, accommodation or treatment provided elsewhere.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-6\"><h3>Should I choose a crown or a veneer?<\/h3><p>It depends on how much healthy tooth is left. A veneer covers only the front of a tooth and suits front teeth that are mostly intact; a crown covers the whole tooth and suits teeth that are broken, heavily filled or root-treated. Your dentist explains which suits each tooth after the examination.<\/p><div class=\"nxs\"><a class=\"nx\" href=\"\/dental-veneers\/\">Veneers<svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-7\"><h3>Is a crown on a front tooth different from one on a back tooth?<\/h3><p>The steps are the same. Back teeth take a heavier bite, so your dentist may recommend a stronger material for them, which can affect the fee. Your dentist discusses the most suitable material for each tooth.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"qa\" id=\"faq-8\"><h3>Can I have an inlay or onlay instead of a crown?<\/h3><p>Sometimes. If much of the tooth is still healthy, an inlay or onlay can restore it with less drilling than a crown. If the tooth is badly broken or has had root canal treatment, a crown may protect it better. Your dentist explains which suits your tooth.<\/p><div class=\"nxs\"><a class=\"nx\" href=\"\/prices\/#filling\">See inlay and onlay prices<svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M5 12h14M13 6l6 6-6 6\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><aside class=\"side\" aria-labelledby=\"side-h\"><p class=\"sh\" id=\"side-h\">Book a crown consultation<\/p><p class=\"sf\"><svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"8.5\"\/><path d=\"M12 7.5V12l3 2\"\/><\/svg><span>Open every day, 09:00\u201320:00<\/span><\/p><div class=\"acts col\"><a class=\"kdct-cta btn solid\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/66917977888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-cta=\"side\" data-kdc-ch=\"wa\" data-kdc-cat=\"crown\"><svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M4.4 19.6l1.2-3.7A8.2 8.2 0 1 1 8.3 18.5z\"\/><path d=\"M9.1 8.5c.2-.4.5-.6.8-.6h.5c.2 0 .4.1.5.4l.6 1.5c.1.3 0 .5-.1.7l-.5.6a6.4 6.4 0 0 0 2.8 2.7l.6-.6c.2-.2.5-.2.7-.1l1.5.7c.3.1.4.3.4.6v.4c0 .4-.2.7-.6.9-.7.4-1.6.5-2.6.1a7.9 7.9 0 0 1-4.6-4.6c-.3-.9-.2-1.8 0-2.2z\"\/><\/svg><span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><a class=\"kdct-cta btn line\" href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/R\/ti\/p\/@kitchaclinic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-cta=\"side\" data-kdc-ch=\"line\" data-kdc-cat=\"crown\"><svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M12 4c4.7 0 8.5 3 8.5 6.8 0 3.9-4.3 7-8.7 9.2.3-.9.5-1.8.3-2.3C7 17.3 3.5 14.4 3.5 10.8 3.5 7 7.3 4 12 4z\"\/><path d=\"M7.6 9.2v3h1.6M10.5 9.2v3M12.3 12.2v-3l2.1 3v-3M17 9.2h-1.4v3H17M15.6 10.7h1.2\"\/><\/svg><span>LINE<\/span><\/a><a class=\"kdct-cta btn line\" href=\"mailto:contact@kitchadentalclinic.com\" data-cta=\"side\" data-kdc-ch=\"mail\" data-kdc-cat=\"crown\"><svg class=\"ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><rect x=\"3\" y=\"5.5\" width=\"18\" height=\"13\" rx=\"2.5\"\/><path d=\"M3.6 7.2l8.4 6 8.4-6\"\/><\/svg><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/aside><\/div><section class=\"help\" id=\"book\" aria-labelledby=\"book-h\"><div><h2 id=\"book-h\">Need a crown?<\/h2><p>Tell us which tooth is the problem and, if you have one, send a recent X-ray or photo.
