Understanding Crowns
A crown caps and protects a damaged or root-treated tooth. A bridge spans a gap using the teeth either side. Both are shade-matched so the repair is invisible.
Your case is assessed at consultation and you are told plainly whether this treatment is right for you, exactly what it involves, and what it costs, before anything begins.
What to expect
Preparation
The tooth is shaped under anaesthetic to make room for the crown, and any old restoration is removed.
Impression and shade
An accurate impression is taken and the shade matched against your neighbouring teeth in natural light.
Temporary crown
A temporary protects the prepared tooth while the laboratory builds the permanent unit.
Fit and cement
The permanent crown is checked for fit, contact and bite, adjusted if needed, then cemented into place.
Why patients choose Mir’s for Crowns
Stops a cracked tooth splitting
A crown holds a weakened tooth together under bite force. It is the difference between keeping the tooth and losing it to a vertical fracture.
Closes a gap without surgery
A bridge restores chewing and appearance using the teeth either side of the space. No implant surgery, no healing period.
Matched to your own teeth
Zirconia and porcelain crowns are shade-matched in the chair. Done properly, neither you nor anyone else can pick out which tooth was rebuilt.
Priced for your case
Every case is different, so the fee is set by the doctor once they have examined you. Competitive with other specialist practices in Islamabad, written down before treatment, and it does not move.
Your fee
Confirmed after your consultation
Fees are competitive with other specialist practices in Islamabad and are confirmed in writing by the doctor after your consultation, before any treatment begins.
What affects cost
The exact cost depends on the complexity of your case, the materials required and the number of teeth involved. You are given a written quote after your examination, before any commitment.
Before & after your treatment
Before Treatment
- ›Any decay or root canal work under the tooth is completed first
- ›Gums must be healthy before an impression is taken, so scaling may come first
- ›Tell us if you grind your teeth at night. It changes the material we recommend
- ›Plan for two appointments about a week to two weeks apart
After Treatment
- ›Your temporary crown is fragile. Avoid sticky and very hard food on that side
- ›If a temporary comes off, keep it and call us. Do not leave the prepared tooth exposed
- ›Some gum tenderness for a few days after fitting is normal
- ›Floss around a crown daily. Decay starts at the margin where the crown meets the tooth
Common questions about Crowns
Zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal?
Zirconia is stronger and has no dark metal margin at the gum, which matters on front teeth. PFM costs less. We will tell you which suits your tooth and budget.
How much does a crown cost in Islamabad?
It depends on the material, zirconia or PFM, and on how many units you need. Our fees are competitive with other specialist practices in Islamabad and are confirmed at consultation.
How long do crowns last?
10 to 15 years is typical, longer with good hygiene. Failure is usually decay at the margin, not the crown itself giving way.
Does getting a crown hurt?
Preparation is done under local anaesthetic. Fitting the permanent crown usually needs no anaesthetic at all.
Bridge or implant?
A bridge is faster, cheaper and needs no surgery, but it involves preparing the neighbouring teeth. An implant leaves them untouched but costs more and takes months. We will lay out both honestly.
Can I whiten a crown?
No. Crowns do not respond to whitening gel. If you plan to whiten, do it before the shade is matched, not after.
