When replacing existing crowns or restoring several damaged teeth, patients often want a harmonious appearance and comfortable chewing. Achieving these goals requires the dentist to assess each tooth, select an appropriate material, and design crowns that work with the remaining teeth.
At Shark Dental Clinic, the 12 Cercon HT Crowns Package costs VND 54,000,000 and includes an examination, treatment planning, three hotel nights, and three transfers. Patients traveling to Vietnam for dental care can use the package as a starting point for budgeting, then agree on a personalized plan with the dentist following an in-person examination.
What Should You Consider About Cercon HT Crowns?
Cercon HT is an all-ceramic restorative material from Dentsply Sirona. Cercon HT crowns have no metal framework. The material’s light-transmitting properties help recreate a natural tooth appearance, while its mechanical strength supports its use in appropriate restorative cases.
The most noticeable features after placement are the crowns’ shade and shape. However, the result also depends on the underlying tooth color, crown thickness, and fabrication technique. If the underlying tooth is dark or has an existing restoration, the dentist needs to assess its masking requirements before selecting the material.
When restoring only a group of teeth, the new crowns also need to blend with untreated teeth. Let your dentist know whether you prefer a shade close to your current teeth or a brighter appearance, and explain anything you dislike about your existing restorations. This information helps the dentist and dental technician design the crowns around the agreed goals.
When Might the 12 Cercon HT Crowns Package Be Considered?
Crowns may be recommended for teeth that have lost substantial structure due to decay or fracture, or when existing crowns need replacing. Before proceeding, the dentist checks whether the remaining natural tooth structure can support a crown and whether any problems require treatment first.
If you have existing crowns and experience pain, a high bite, or frequent food trapping, the cause needs to be investigated before replacement. Changing the material or shade alone may not resolve discomfort originating from the bite, gums, or underlying tooth.
The number of teeth requiring restoration is determined after examination. The package does not mean every patient needs all 12 crowns or an equal number on each arch. For healthy teeth where the goal is mainly to change color or shape, the dentist will consider less invasive options when appropriate.

What Does the Cercon HT Crown Process Involve at Shark Dental Clinic?
Examination and Treatment Planning
The dentist examines your teeth, gums, existing fillings or crowns, and how your upper and lower teeth meet. X-rays are taken when indicated to provide further information for treatment planning.
Following the assessment, the dentist discusses which teeth need restoration and the proposed shade and shape. Any decay, gum inflammation, or other issues requiring care are incorporated into the treatment plan. Root canal treatment is recommended only when clinically indicated for an individual tooth.
Tooth Preparation and Crown Fabrication
The teeth selected for crowns are prepared to create sufficient space for the restorations while preserving healthy tooth structure wherever possible. The dentist records the tooth shapes, shade, and bite to guide fabrication.
While the final crowns are being made, arrangements for temporarily protecting the prepared teeth should be explained, including care instructions and any related treatment items.
Crown Try-In and Checks Before Final Placement
The dentist checks the crowns’ fit, shade, shape, and contacts with neighboring teeth. The bite is also assessed to ensure the crowns work with the opposing teeth during chewing.
At this stage, tell your dentist if a tooth feels high, your bite feels uneven, or speaking feels uncomfortable. Your feedback is considered alongside the clinical checks to determine whether adjustments are needed.
Care Instructions and Follow-Up Arrangements
After the crowns are cemented, the dentist explains brushing, cleaning between the teeth, and caring for the gums around the crowns. Patients are also advised when to contact the clinic, including if they experience a high bite, pain, or a crown that feels loose.
Follow-up appointments are arranged according to individual needs. For international patients, Shark Dental Clinic coordinates appointments with the planned departure date and explains how to contact the team for support after returning home.
Preparing for Your Trip and Caring for Your Restorations
You can send photographs of your teeth, available X-rays, and details of previous treatment to Shark for a preliminary consultation. If you want to replace existing crowns, explain what you would like to improve about their shade, shape, or comfort. Medical conditions, current medications, and teeth-grinding habits should also be disclosed before treatment.
After crown placement, the underlying natural teeth and surrounding gums still need daily care. The dentist will provide hygiene advice and recommend an appropriate follow-up schedule. If you live overseas, discuss a check-up before departure, contact arrangements, and ongoing care in advance.
