Bridge & ceowns
Zirconia
Zirconia crowns are used to restore a single damaged or decayed tooth. They are often recommended for molars and premolars due to their exceptional strength, which can withstand the strong biting forces in these areas
A zirconia bridge is a dental prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
Like zirconia crowns, zirconia bridges are made from zirconium dioxide, which is known for its durability and natural appearance
Generally, dental zirconia exhibits a hardness ranging from approximately 1,200 to 1,400 Vickers hardness (HV) on the Vickers hardness scale. This level of hardness is quite impressive and is one of the reasons why dental zirconia is favored for dental restorations. It provides excellent resistance to wear, chipping, and fractures, making it suitable for withstanding the biting forces and stresses within the oral cavity.
E.max
E-max restorations are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, which is a type of dental ceramic.
Lithium disilicate is a crystalline material that contains lithium, silicon, oxygen, and other elements. It’s known for its exceptional strength and optical properties.
E-max veneers are made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, which is a highly translucent and strong dental material.
This type of ceramic is prized for its natural appearance, strength, and durability.
Composite crowns & bridge
Composite crowns are primarily made from composite resin material, which is a tooth-colored, plastic-like substance mixed with finely ground glass particles.
This composite resin is known for its ability to mimic the appearance of natural tooth enamel
metal ceramic crown ( pfm )
A metal-ceramic crown, often referred to as a PFM crown (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal crown), is a common type of dental crown used to restore and protect damaged or decayed teeth. PFM crowns are known for their strength and natural appearance, combining the properties of metal and dental porcelain. Here’s more information about PFM crowns
