![]() CROWNS AND BRIDGESSo you can laugh again For larger amounts of cavity damage, when simple fillings aren’t enough, or when teeth are missing, we can provide you with aesthetically appealing dental restorations. Plastic or ceramic crowns replace the tooth crown of individual teeth and bridges fill in missing teeth. Closing gaps between teeth is important to the stability of the teeth structure and the habitual bite. Plus nice teeth also increase your self-esteem. All-Ceramic Crowns and Bridges The days of putting gold crowns on teeth are long gone. Nowadays, crowns and bridges are manufactured with state-of-the-art all-ceramic dental technology. They are indistinguishable from your natural teeth and even feel like they are the real thing. Full-ceramic crowns and bridges are completely metal-free and are made of materials that are biocompatible and harmless for the human body. They are especially suitable for people who react allergic to metals. While grey lines appear at the edge of the gums when traditional ceramic crowns with a metal framework are used, full-ceramic crowns and bridges are indistinguishable from your natural teeth. The dental technician from our own laboratory will personally match the colour for you. Zirconium: Hard as steel Zirconium oxide is regarded as the best presently available solution for crowns. It is an extremely hard and stable material and has a high resistance to chemical, thermal and mechanical influences. That is why the material has been used for more than 40 years for artificial hip joint replacements as well as for technical applications. Zirconium oxide is especially suitable as a dental prosthesis for the posterior (molar) regions, where great amounts of pressure are exhibited on the teeth. Aluminium oxide for appealing Aesthetics Perfect aesthetics are especially important for the anterior (front) tooth region. Aluminium oxide is a full-ceramic material that is characterised by its natural transparent properties. When compared to all other materials, dental prostheses made of aluminium oxide come closest to resembling the natural tooth. |
