If you’re thinking about updating or replacing a dental crown in Beijing, you’re in the right place. At Beijing Keer Dental Clinic, our English-speaking dentists in Beijing provide modern materials (porcelain, E-max, zirconia), digital scanning, and same-day temporary crowns for comfort and function while your final crown is being crafted.
When Should You Replace a Dental Crown?
- Visible cracks, chips, or looseness
- Dark lines or gaps at the gumline, food trapping, or sensitivity
- Decay under an older crown or recurrent gum inflammation
- Poor color match or a bulky shape that affects your bite or smile
- Metal edges showing or allergies to older materials
Treatment Options at Our Beijing Dental Clinic
Re-cement vs. New Crown
If the crown is intact and the tooth is sound, re-cementing may be possible. If there is wear, decay, fractures, or poor fit, we’ll design a new crown for long-term success.
Material Choices
- E-max (lithium disilicate): lifelike translucency, great for front teeth aesthetics.
- Zirconia: high strength for back teeth and grinders; now available in multi-layer esthetic versions.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): traditional option; may show a dark margin over time.
Timeline & Steps
- Consult + Digital Scan: photos and shade analysis for a precise color match.
- Tooth Preparation: comfortable anesthesia; we refine margins for a better seal.
- Same-Day Temporary Crown: you leave with a smooth, natural-looking temporary.
- Final Placement: after try-in and bite check, we bond the new crown securely.
Costs & Insurance
Fees depend on the material, tooth position, and whether additional treatment (e.g., core build-up) is required. We provide a transparent estimate before treatment and detailed receipts for private insurance reimbursement.

Aftercare Tips
- Chew on the opposite side while wearing a temporary; avoid sticky or very hard foods.

- If you grind at night, ask about a protective night guard.
- Schedule regular cleanings and checks to keep the margins healthy.
FAQs — Dental Crown Replacement in Beijing
Can you replace a chipped or discolored crown?
Yes. We assess the tooth and design a new crown (E-max or zirconia) that fits well and matches your natural shade.
Will I have a same-day temporary crown?
Yes. In most cases you leave with a smooth temporary on the same day to protect the tooth and maintain your smile.
How long does the process take?
Typically two visits over 7–10 days. Expedited options may be available depending on the case and lab schedule.
Which material should I choose—E-max or zirconia?
E-max offers excellent aesthetics for front teeth. Zirconia provides high strength for back teeth and grinders. We’ll recommend the best option after your exam.
Can you match the color of nearby teeth?
Yes. We use shade guides, photos, and digital scanning to match your surrounding teeth as closely as possible.
Do you offer emergency crown repair in Beijing?
Yes. If a crown is loose or has come off, we can often re-cement or provide a rapid replacement plan.
