Prosthetic crowns
  • metal based porcelain crown - if the tooth is very damaged we can rebuild it with the help of prosthetic crowns. The most common type is porcelain - metal crown. It consists of metal cap (inside crown) and porcelain overlay. Usually, metal creating foundation is prosthetic steel, alloy of gold and platinum or pure gold.
  • metal-free porcelain crown - when we expect an excellent cosmetic effect we may use metal-free porcelain crown. The base for porcelain is white zirconium. Such crowns have more natural colour and are practically indistinguishable from vital teeth.
  • porcelain facings - porcelain facings (veneers) are used when we wish to improve the shape and colour of teeth. Preparation of the tooth needs a minimal grinding from the labial side.
