Frequently asked questions

Crowns and bridges: your questions

What is the difference between a bridge and an implant?

A bridge rests on the neighbouring teeth, which have to be prepared. An implant replaces the root without touching the neighbouring teeth. The choice depends on the condition of those teeth and of the bone.

How long does a crown last?

Often many years with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.

Is a crown noticeable?

No, ceramic and zirconia reproduce the colour and translucency of natural teeth.

Does the health insurance fund (mutuelle) contribute?

It depends on your situation and your supplementary insurance. You receive a detailed cost estimate so you can make the request.
