When you have some discoloration or damage on a tooth, your dentist can recommend dental crowns (or dental “caps”) as a possible solution. They are called “crown” or “cap” since they are not only placed on the top a tooth, but they cover the full surface of it protecting it afterwards.

Why are dental crowns needed?

Crowns are placed to protect and strengthen the teeth this way void breaking. As a tooth gets older it is more sensitive for strong occlusion and can break more easily. This is affected more if there is also a large filling. The larger the filling is the more chance is for the teeth for breaking or cracking. A dental crown is like a cap, creates a powerful shield on the teeth. The usage of crowns helps you keep your ability to chew and smile without restraints.

The course of tooth whitening lasts usually between 40 and 60 minutes, taking two, three or more sessions. Different whitening systems require different length of sessions.

Flight

Central Europe is not far anymore, since taking a flight today is like taking a taxi to the other end of the city, in duration and in costs, as well. Many people travel to undertake dental treatment in Hungary; the reasons are simple: Hungarian service and treatments are among the bests in dentistry, travelling takes just as much as watching a comic show on TV, with the difference that the smile we provide, in the end, remains.

We do not book flight tickets for our customers; instead we recommend mainly low cost airlines, operating flights into Budapest.
