Book an appointment with a dentist in Murcia, Spain for dental crowns and look forward to high-quality treatment while making the most of your holiday in the sun.

With Dental Departures, you can save between 50% and 70% on a range of restorative procedures, with no upfront charges when you book.

For prospective patients from the UK and other European countries, Spain’s southeastern Murcia Region is only a couple of hours' flight away, offering a range of attractions and numerous nearby Mediterranean beaches to enjoy while undergoing dental crown work.

This common treatment involves the placement of a cap-like prosthesis in order to restore the function following damage or decay, for example, after a root canal or emergence of a large cavity.

Dental crowns are also used as part of dental implant treatment; after a titanium post has been surgically embedded into the jawbone, a crown is affixed using an abutment, acting as a false tooth.

To summarise, crowns are used for:

• Supporting a tooth that has been weakened by decay
• Protecting a worn-down tooth
• Adding support following a root canal
• Holding cracked teeth together
• Replacing a tooth or several teeth as part of dental implant treatment
• Improving the appearance of a discoloured or uneven tooth
