Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns provide an esthetic and in some instances a conservative alternative to metal or ceramometal crowns. They may also be used for patients that do not desire metal restorations. (Clinical Examples Below)
Conventional or stackable ceramic crowns are recommended when maximum esthetic results are desired when matching adjacent natural teeth. They are also recommended when minimal tooth reduction is desired or in combination with conventional ceramic veneers. Adhesive technology is required and use should be limited to bicuspids forward on patients with minimal to normal functional demands.(Material Options: Vita Masters, VMK 9, GC Initial
- High strength pressed ceramic crowns are recommended when greater strength is desired. Ideal for multiple unit reconstructions when all eramic crowns are desired. Can be used on anterior teeth, bicuspids and molars. Full contour and stained crowns recommended for molars. Adhesive technology is required. (Material Options: Ivoclar e-max, Pentron 3g) High strength milled core ceramic (zirconium) crowns are recommended when maximum strength is desired and maximum tooth reduction is acceptable. Ideal when an all ceramic crown is desired in a high stress area and when esthetic demands are less demanding. Do not require adhesive technology. Full contour stained zirconium crowns are a cost affective option for molars in the “Essentials Tier” option. (Material Options: enquire)
