Restore damaged or missing teeth with custom-made crowns and bridges for natural function and appearance.
Inlays and onlays are a conservative alternative to full coverage dental crowns. Also known as indirect fillings, they offer a well-fitting, stronger, longer lasting reparative solution to tooth decay or similar damage. These restorations are beneficial from both an esthetic and functional point of view.
Inlays and onlays are fabricated indirectly in a dental lab before being fitted and bonded to the damaged tooth by your dentist. The restoration is called an "inlay" when the material is bonded within the center of a tooth. Conversely, the restoration is called an "onlay" when the extent of damage requires inclusion of one or more cusps or the full coverage of the biting surface.
A porcelain crown, also called a jacket crown or metal free crown, is made of zirconium or aluminum-oxide. It is the most modern fixed dental restoration work in aesthetic dentistry. A crown is an ideal way to rebuild broken or weakened teeth and to improve the appearance of your teeth.
A crown fits over the remaining part of your tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. Crowns are sometimes known as 'caps'.
Full porcelain crowns are superior to Porcelain Fused to Metal/Gold Crowns for upper and/or lower front teeth. The full porcelain construction allows a more natural appearance.
An E-max crown is a type of all-ceramic crown which is preferred for its longer lasting, aesthetic qualities. This crown and the Zirconia crown are worn due to their highly attractive appearance which ensures that they compliment the rest of your teeth.
It is considered a good option for damaged, stained or poor quality teeth. This is a type of all-ceramic crown with an appealing translucent color which is combined with extra strength and durability.
This crown is made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic: this is a top grade material which has been harvested for its toughness, durability and opaque qualities which makes it a highly prized crown.
Plus it is considered a breakthrough in dental crown technology.
Zirconia is a white powdered metal (Zirconium Oxide) that is used to create dental frameworks for crowns, bridges and other dental substructures. It replaces the gold or stainless steel used in the past. It creates the appearance of a whiter more translucent tooth.
Zirconia is transparent in x-rays. It has been in use in cosmetic dentistry for many years. It is the best material available for bridges. It creates a strong translucent tooth that rivals all-porcelain crowns.
