Crowns and tooth restoration

An old crown rarely announces a problem directly. More often the signs are indirect: an unpleasant smell, inflamed or bluish gum next to it, a darkening crown margin. Meanwhile caries may be developing underneath — and the longer the visit is postponed, the less tooth remains to be saved.

How we solve an old-crown problem

  1. Removing the old restoration. Carefully, preserving tooth structure.
  2. Assessment. The doctor sees the real picture: the condition of the core, the canals and the gum.
  3. Treatment. Root canal retreatment and tooth build-up — when indicated.
  4. A new crown. Digital scanning instead of impressions, a precise fit and a natural look.

When a crown is needed

  • the tooth is damaged beyond what a filling can restore;
  • a root-treated tooth needs protection against fracture;
  • cracks and wear are changing the tooth shape and bite height.

Why Code Dental

Our goal is to save your tooth whenever it can be saved: a crown is placed when it is genuinely needed, not "to be safe". We follow a digital workflow: fewer visits, a more precise fit, a predictable appearance. Crowns and prosthetic work start from AED 1,500; the exact plan and cost come after diagnostics — and before treatment begins.

Q&A

Frequently asked questions

There is a smell coming from under my crown. What does it mean?

Most often it is a sign of a failing seal: bacteria get under the crown, causing caries or inflammation. That is a reason for an examination soon — not for "watching it for another year".

Do old crowns have to be replaced?

No. If the crown seals well and the tooth under it is healthy, it is left alone. We assess it with an examination and an X-ray — and replace only when indicated.

How long does a crown last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups — many years. The lifespan depends on the tooth underneath, your bite and your daily care.

Which should I choose: a crown or a veneer?

They solve different problems. A veneer restores the front surface of a tooth with minor defects; a crown covers the whole tooth when the damage is serious. Which one fits your case is decided at diagnostics.
