White Porcelain and Zirconia Crowns and Bridges
Dental prosthetics help restore teeth that have been damaged by trauma, gum disease, or cavities.
Indications for Crown and Bridge Prosthetics
- the absence of a tooth or multiple teeth
- cracks, chips, congenital defects, mechanical trauma
- allergic reactions to metal alloys, including noble metals
- worn down dental prosthesis
- enamel staining that cannot be removed by whitening
- aesthetically disturbing smile line
Metal-free prostheses are the most advanced and safe materials for dental prosthetics.
E-max Ceramics
E-max ceramic crowns are a metal-free type of prosthesis, which is considered the best solution for aesthetic prosthetics. The material has identical structural and color properties to natural enamel. It makes artificial teeth look like real ones.
This type of ceramic has a long service life and is less vulnerable to chipping and cracking than other materials. The ceramic layer is created using a pressure casting technique, which provides high stability and the ability to withstand full biting forces.
Unlike metal-ceramic crowns, E-max crowns are hypoallergenic, harmless, and biocompatible with gums. Such prosthetics do not require depulpation (removal of the tooth nerve), and preparation of abutment teeth involves minimal recontouring.
When To Choose E-max Ceramics?
E-max is the perfect solution for patients with high aesthetic requirements. Also, this material shows the best result for single-tooth restorations or if the patient has translucent tooth enamel.
E-max restoration technology can be used for veneers, crowns, and bridges, anterior and posterior areas.
Zirconium Dioxide
Zirconium crowns are metal-free dental prostheses. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is a biocompatible, colorless crystalline material with high mechanical strength. It provides the closest appearance to natural teeth and shows high resistance to chewing load. Zirconium crowns are not likely to cause allergic reactions or inflammation of the gums.
Benefits of Zirconium Dioxide Crowns
- The most durable material that has the highest strength and toughness.
- Suitable for dental restorations of all teeth.
- Long service life.
- This type of ceramic does not cause hypersensitivity reactions. Unlike metal-ceramic material, zirconium stops the transfer of heat and cold through the dentin to the nerve. It does not lead to tooth sensitivity and pain.
- Minimal preparation (ground down). Zirconium crowns are made very thin and therefore need less tooth reduction.
- It saves the natural tooth structure. Due to little preparation of the abutment tooth, the zirconium crown can be fixed without removing the tooth nerve.
- Biocompatible and hypoallergenic features help zirconium prostheses integrate well with the gums.
