Dental crowns explained
When dental crowns are the ideal solution
Dental crowns explained
Dental crowns are a fundamental solution in dentistry to restore the structure and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth. They are used when a tooth is so severely damaged by decay, fracture or wear that a filling alone is not sufficient to maintain its integrity.
A dental crown completely encloses the affected tooth and thus offers comprehensive protection. It not only restores the original shape and size of the tooth, but also improves its function and aesthetics. Crowns are particularly useful for teeth that are subject to heavy loads, such as the back molars, as they distribute the chewing forces well and protect the tooth from further damage.
At our practice near Zurich, we manufacture dental crowns that are precisely tailored to your individual dental needs. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of our prosthodontics specialist Dr. Sebastian Horvath, we can offer you dental crowns that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Whether it's a single tooth repair or a major restoration, our dental crowns offer an optimal solution for restoring your oral health and your radiant smile.

From metal to zirconium
The evolution of materials for dental crowns
From metal to zirconium
The history of dental crowns is a story of constant innovation and improvement. Originally, crowns were made of cast metal, as metal was valued for its durability and resistance. However, metal crowns left much to be desired in terms of esthetics, so the desire for whiter and more natural solutions grew.
Ceramic offered an esthetically pleasing alternative, but was brittle and fragile in its pure form. To overcome this problem, metal crowns began to be veneered with ceramic, but this often led to fractures. These veneering ceramics were often applied by hand, which made them prone to irregularities such as air bubbles and compromised their strength.
The introduction of zirconium oxide as a core material for dental crowns brought new challenges, as the early zirconium oxide was opaque and aesthetically unattractive. However, it enabled a significant improvement in strength. The strength values of veneering ceramics are around 110 MPa, while zirconium oxide has an impressive strength of around 1100 MPa - almost ten times stronger.
Today, we are able to produce fully anatomical, monolithic crowns made of zirconium oxide that are not only extremely stable but also aesthetically pleasing. These modern crowns have overcome the problems of earlier materials and offer a first-class solution that is convincing in terms of function and form. In our practice, we have therefore chosen zirconium oxide as our preferred material in order to offer our patients the best combination of durability, functionality and aesthetics.

The revolution in crown production
From manual veneering to computer-aided fabrication of monolithic restorations
The revolution in crown production
The development of dental crowns has changed considerably in recent decades. In the past, veneering ceramics were the standard in dentistry. They consisted of a metal core covered with a layer of ceramic to achieve a natural appearance. Although this method provided aesthetically pleasing results, veneering ceramics were prone to breakage due to their two-layer structure and the manual application of the ceramic. Air bubbles and irregularities in the ceramic layer often led to weak points that could break under stress.
With the advent of CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, the production of dental crowns has changed fundamentally. Monolithic crowns, made entirely from one piece of ceramic, offer a more robust and durable solution. Not only are these crowns more resistant to fractures, but they are also aesthetically pleasing as modern ceramic materials, such as advanced zirconia, offer natural translucency and color variety.
The strength of monolithic crowns is impressive - studies have shown that the strength of monolithic zirconia is up to ten times higher than that of conventional veneering ceramics. In addition, CAD/CAM technology allows for more precise and faster production of these crowns, ensuring a perfect fit and a high degree of customization.
Due to these advantages, we have decided to use monolithic crowns in our practice. They offer our patients a long-lasting, esthetic and functionally superior alternative to conventional veneering ceramics. With these advanced materials and technologies, we are able to offer you the best possible dental care.

Inlays and onlays
Modern, minimally invasive restorations in one session
Inlays and onlays
Inlays and onlays are an advanced, minimally invasive method in dentistry for restoring damaged teeth. They are used to replace the part of a tooth damaged by decay or fracture, with inlays covering the inner area of the tooth surface and onlays extending beyond the occlusal surface.
Unlike conventional fillings, which are made directly in the mouth, inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations. In our state-of-the-art practice, we make them directly on site using the latest CAD/CAM technology. This allows us to replace the exact damaged or unstable area of the tooth while preserving the intact tooth structure as much as possible. This approach promotes the long-term health and stability of the tooth.
One of the biggest advantages of inlays and onlays over conventional fillings is their longevity and aesthetics. Made from tooth-colored materials such as high-quality ceramic, they offer a natural look while being highly resistant to abrasion and discoloration. Thanks to our modern equipment and ongoing investment in the latest technology, we can precisely fit and place inlays and onlays in just one appointment.
At our practice near Zurich, we recommend inlays and onlays as an effective, aesthetically pleasing and tooth-friendly solution for restoring the function and appearance of your teeth. These modern restorations are a prime example of how innovative dentistry uses minimally invasive procedures to achieve optimal results and maximize treatment comfort for our patients.

High-tech in dentistry - revolution in crown production
The manufacture of dental crowns has changed and improved considerably in recent years as a result of technological progress. In particular, the introduction of CAD/CAM technologies (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) has revolutionized the production of dental crowns.
With CAD/CAM, we can produce dental crowns in our practice with the highest precision and speed. The first step in this process is the use of a digital scanner, which replaces the traditional and often unpleasant dental impression. This scanner is used to create an exact digital image of the prepared tooth, which ensures the exact fit of the crown.
The advantages of this technology for our patients are manifold: the treatment time is significantly reduced as we can often complete the crown in just one session. This means less effort and inconvenience for our patients, as only one journey, one anesthetic and one appointment are required. In addition, the precision achieved by CAD/CAM is second to none, resulting in a perfect fit and therefore more comfort and better functionality.
At our practice near Zurich, we attach great importance to ensuring that our patients benefit from these advances. By using the latest technologies, we can offer treatments that are not only efficient, but also comfortable and extremely precise. In this way, we guarantee optimal treatment results that not only meet but exceed our patients' expectations.

The process of making and fitting a dental crown may seem complex at first glance, but thanks to modern technology and experienced specialist staff, it is a surprisingly straightforward procedure. In our practice, we attach great importance to ensuring that every treatment step is transparent and comprehensible for our patients.
Treatment begins with a detailed examination and diagnosis, during which we assess the condition of your tooth and decide whether a dental crown is the right solution. We then prepare the tooth and create an accurate image of your tooth using digital scanning technology. This step replaces the conventional and often unpleasant impression procedure and forms the basis for the production of your individual dental crown.
Thanks to our modern CAD/CAM technology, we can fabricate the crown quickly and precisely directly in our practice. In many cases, we are able to carry out the entire treatment - from preparation to fitting the crown - in just one session. This means a considerable advantage in terms of efficiency and comfort for our patients.

The science of holding
How dental crowns and inlays are fixed
The science of holding
The bonding of crowns, inlays and onlays is a critical step in restorative dentistry that determines the durability and functionality of the restorations. In our practice, we use the adhesive technique, an advanced method to securely and permanently bond restorations to the tooth.
The adhesive technique is based on the principle of micromechanical bonding between the tooth and the restoration. This is achieved by first treating the tooth surface and the inside of the restoration with special bonding agents. These bonding agents consist of monomers that can form chemical bonds with both the tooth and the restorative material.
After surface preparation, a special dental adhesive is applied to create a bond between the tooth and the restoration. This adhesive hardens and forms an extremely strong bond that holds the restoration firmly to the tooth. The adhesion values achieved with this technique are impressive - they often withstand loads equivalent to several times the patient's body weight.
To explain adhesive technology using an illustrative example: Imagine an extremely strong adhesive that bonds two surfaces together in the same way that super glue bonds two objects together almost inseparably. In dentistry, we achieve this strong bond by connecting the tooth and the restoration at a molecular level.
This method allows us to bond restorations that are not only stable and durable, but also aesthetically pleasing and functional. With the adhesive technique, we ensure that your dental crowns, inlays and onlays remain securely in place and give you a natural and comfortable feeling.

Die Frage, wie lange eine Zahnkrone hält, beschäftigt viele Patienten, die eine solche Behandlung in Erwägung ziehen. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass Zahnkronen bei richtiger Pflege und unter normalen Bedingungen eine lange Lebensdauer haben. Im Allgemeinen kann man davon ausgehen, dass eine gut gepflegte Zahnkrone 10 bis 15 Jahre hält, in manchen Fällen sogar länger.
Die Pflege Ihrer Zahnkrone ist entscheidend für ihre Langlebigkeit. Wie Ihre natürlichen Zähne müssen auch Kronen regelmäßig geputzt und mit Zahnseide gereinigt werden, um Plaque und Zahnfleischerkrankungen vorzubeugen. Regelmäßige zahnärztliche Kontrolluntersuchungen und professionelle Zahnreinigungen sind ebenfalls wichtig, um die Gesundheit der Krone und des umliegenden Gewebes zu erhalten.
Obwohl Zahnkronen sehr widerstandsfähig sind, gibt es Faktoren, die ihre Integrität beeinträchtigen können. Dazu gehören extreme Belastungen durch Zähneknirschen oder Kauen auf harten Gegenständen, die zu Rissen oder Frakturen führen können. In seltenen Fällen können auch Probleme am Übergang zwischen Krone und natürlichem Zahn auftreten, die eine Neuanpassung oder Erneuerung der Krone erforderlich machen.
In unserer Praxis legen wir großen Wert darauf, Sie umfassend über die richtige Pflege Ihrer Zahnkrone zu informieren und gemeinsam mit Ihnen einen Plan für Ihre langfristige Mundgesundheit zu entwickeln. Wir stehen Ihnen jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung und sorgen dafür, dass Ihre Zahnkrone so lange wie möglich in optimalem Zustand bleibt.
Entscheidend für den Erfolg einer Restauration bei Ihnen ist Ihr persönliches Risikoprofil, das wir beim ersten Termin in unserer Praxis erstellen. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass das Problem, das Sie heute haben, wieder auftritt, ist sehr hoch. Wir helfen Ihnen professionell, dem vorzubeugen.
Individuelle Risikobewertung
Ihr persönliches Risikoprofil und dessen Einfluss auf Zahnrestaurationen
Individuelle Risikobewertung
In unserer Praxis spielt das individuelle Risikoprofil jedes Patienten eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Planung und Langlebigkeit von Zahnrestaurationen. Bereits beim ersten Termin führen wir eine umfassende Risikoanalyse durch, bei der wir nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand Ihrer Zähne untersuchen, sondern auch die Ursachen möglicher Probleme analysieren.
Dieser individuelle Ansatz ermöglicht es uns, die Wahrscheinlichkeit zukünftiger Probleme besser zu verstehen und entsprechend zu handeln. Wir wissen, dass ein Patient, der wegen Karies eine Krone braucht, ein höheres Risiko für weitere Karies hat, besonders am Rand der Restauration. Ebenso kann ein Patient, der einen Zahn durch hohen Druck gespalten hat, ein erhöhtes Risiko für ähnliche Belastungsprobleme in der Zukunft haben.
Auf der Grundlage dieser Risikoeinschätzung entwickeln wir einen individuellen Behandlungs- und Pflegeplan. Unser Ziel ist es, nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand zu behandeln, sondern auch vorbeugende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um zukünftige Probleme zu vermeiden oder zu minimieren. Wir legen großen Wert darauf, unsere Patienten über ihr individuelles Risikoprofil aufzuklären und sie bei der Pflege ihrer Restaurationen zu unterstützen.
Durch diesen maßgeschneiderten Ansatz können wir die Lebensdauer von Kronen und anderen Restaurationen deutlich erhöhen und gleichzeitig das Risiko zukünftiger Komplikationen verringern. In unserer Praxis sind Sie in erfahrenen Händen, die sich nicht nur um die unmittelbare Behandlung, sondern auch um Ihre langfristige Mundgesundheit und Ihr Wohlbefinden kümmern.

A guide
How to care for your dental crowns properly
A guide
The care of crowns, inlays and onlays is simple and does not require any special measures beyond normal oral hygiene. It is important to understand that these restorations need to be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth to ensure their longevity and functionality.
We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day with an electric toothbrush. Using a toothbrush with soft bristles and a toothpaste containing fluoride helps to effectively remove plaque and strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride is an important part of dental care as it helps to prevent tooth decay and remineralize tooth enamel.
Daily cleaning of the spaces between the teeth is just as important. Dental floss or special interdental brushes are excellent tools to remove food debris and plaque from these areas that the toothbrush cannot reach. This simple but effective routine helps to prevent gum disease and keep the edges of your restorations clean and healthy.
During regular dental check-ups, we check the condition of your restorations and offer professional cleanings to remove stubborn plaque and maintain the health of your entire oral cavity. By combining good daily oral hygiene at home with regular professional cleanings and check-ups, you can ensure that your dental crowns, inlays and onlays last a long time and maintain their function and aesthetics.

From plastic to ceramic
An esthetic tooth transformation
From plastic to ceramic
An impressive example of aesthetic dentistry is the case of a patient who came to us with the desire for an aesthetic improvement to her front teeth. Her main complaint was the painful and visually unsatisfactory plastic fillings that were impairing her smile.
Our approach was to improve not only the aesthetics but also the comfort. We decided to make four individually designed crowns that mimic the natural shape and color of the teeth. These were produced in our practice with the highest precision and the latest technology.
The result was a significant esthetic improvement that gave the patient new self-confidence. The new crowns not only brought about a visual improvement, but also eliminated the pain she had previously experienced. This case is an example of how we create individual solutions in our practice that meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Our goal is to always meet the highest standards in dentistry and offer our patients treatments that improve their well-being and quality of life. This case proves that with our expertise and commitment to high-tech dentistry, we can turn aesthetic wishes into reality.

From plastic to ceramic
An impressive example of aesthetic dentistry is the case of a patient who came to us with the desire for an aesthetic improvement to her front teeth. Her main complaint was the painful and visually unsatisfactory plastic fillings that were impairing her smile.

Complex solution for a radiant smile
This case illustrates the complexity and multi-faceted nature of dental challenges and how we address them with a holistic treatment approach. The patient came to us after losing several posterior teeth, which led to an undesirable displacement of the anterior teeth.
To solve this complex problem, we used a combination of orthodontic treatment, implants and dental crowns. First, we replaced the missing teeth with carefully placed implants to restore the function and aesthetics of the dentition. The position of the front teeth was then corrected with braces to achieve optimal alignment.
Finally, the teeth were fitted with custom-made crowns to give them not only stability but also an appealing aesthetic. By using the latest techniques in combination with our expertise, we were able to give the patient back a smile that not only looks beautiful, but is also functional and stable in the long term.
This case shows how we create individual treatment plans in our practice that take into account both the aesthetic wishes and functional requirements of our patients. Our aim is to achieve the best possible result for each patient with holistic and customized solutions.

From dentures to fixed teeth
An improvement in quality of life
From dentures to fixed teeth
The following case shows impressively how switching from removable to fixed dentures can improve a patient's quality of life and self-confidence. The patient, who had lost several teeth many years ago, had previously lived with a removable denture. His desire for a permanent and aesthetic solution led him to our practice.
Our solution for him was dental implants, which served as a stable base for new dental crowns. This treatment not only provided him with a significant aesthetic improvement over his previous dentures, but also gave him back the feeling of natural, firm teeth. The implants were placed with precision to ensure optimal functionality and durability, while the dental crowns were custom-made to enhance his smile aesthetically.
By combining implants and dental crowns, we were able to offer the patient significantly improved comfort and a higher quality of life. Not only was his smile more beautiful, but the new teeth also felt natural and comfortable. This case demonstrates our commitment to giving our patients a new lease of life through customized solutions and the use of the latest technologies.

I had a complete dental rehabilitation at Dr. Horvath's practice in Jestetten. I am completely satisfied. That is, from the cost estimate to the discussions / explanations about the treatment, as well as the treatment itself, the practice team and ambience. Very competent and trustworthy. I felt very well taken care of. Many thanks again dear team.
After years of experience, I can only report positively about the practice of Dr. Horvath: Preservation of tooth substance is the top priority, pain relief works excellently, and instruments are wielded with a sure hand. Fascinating also the most modern technology for diagnosis and preparation of dental prosthesis. A friendly approach to patients is a matter of course here. And above all: You can rely 100% on the diagnosis made. Therefore: 5 stars!!!
