Dental crowns are used to improve the appearance of teeth or to restore badly broken teeth when there is insufficient tooth to hold a filling. They can be made of metal, ceramic or a combination of both, depending upon the specific needs of the treatment. The latest metal free crowns and bridges provide very life-like aesthetics and can transform a smile while strengthening the teeth at the same time.

Metal ceramic crowns are still the most common choice of our patients, because of the very reasonable price, excellent performance, and solid aesthetic components. They are made of a metal matrix which is upholstered in the finest ceramic. They lack the natural translucency but a skilled technician can achieve satisfactory aesthetics and the tooth hardly can be distinguished from the natural.

Full ceramic crowns are made from pure ceramic, characterized by high aesthetics due to its translucency, and thus able to fully mimic natural teeth. They are generally used for front teeth. Medical porcelain, used for the fabrication of crowns guarantees a perfect natural shine, but it cannot be placed over a new generation basal implant.

Ceramic zirconium crowns are made of zirconium and coated ceramic. Zirconium crowns give incomparable aesthetic results. They are very strong and biocompatible, so it is possible installing these crowns in any situation. Thanks to their strength, they are used both for front and rear teeth. The crowns and bridges in zirconia are the most natural solution in implantology. Because of the construction process, these crowns are the most expensive.

• Strength – E.max ceramics for strength 3 times higher than that of tooth enamel.
• Aesthetics – Complete ceramic fully mimics the optical properties of natural teeth. Properties such as opalescence, fluorescence, and transparency are fully transferred in the ceramic resulting in a crown that cannot be distinguished from natural teeth.
• Biocompatibility – Unlike metal, ceramics does not cause allergies and tissue tolerates it perfectly.

The name CAD-Cam means computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing of dental crowns. Now, CAD – CAM is helping to revolutionize the digital dentistry world by simplifying and streamlining the creation of porcelain dental restorations.

CAD – CAM restorations have numerous advantages for you – the patient. CAD-CAM technology displays 3D images of your teeth and gums, which allows designing digital dental restorations with functional and aesthetic characteristics in mind.

The dental restoration is designed on the computer and then sent to the lab where it is sculpted to the exact specifications of the design via computer-aided manufacturing. With this method, common disadvantages of traditional dental restorations taking impressions, creating an uncomfortable temporary tooth, and unnecessarily reducing part of the healthy teeth are avoided.
