A) Crowns
What is a crown?
A crown fills the entire surface of the tooth. When a tooth is built from a polymer material without a healthy tissue, it is likely to be fractured often. Thus, the construction of a crown is advisable. It is also recommended in bite-raising, a change in the form or size of the teeth, aesthetic changes, or patients that are not willing to follow an orthodontic treatment.
What materials are suitable for a crown?
- Plastic;
- Metal ceramic;
- Zircon;
- Ceramic
What does the treatment look like?
On patient demand, a temporary crown can be built. It is then installed temporarily, until the permanent crown is done. A tooth print is taken, then a temporary crown made of plastic is locally made.
The tooth is peeled, a tooth print is taken and within a two-week period the permanent crown is ready. The patient must select a desired colour, according to the neighbouring teeth. Once ready, the patient must revisit, in order to install the crown.
B) Bridge
What is a bridge?
Bridges are non-removable constructions that are built when a set of teeth is missing. The built tooth is then connected to the neighbouring teeth.
What materials are suitable for a crown?
- Plastic;
- Metal ceramic;
- Zircon;
- Ceramic
What does the treatment look like?
On patient demand, a temporary bridge can be built. It is installed temporarily, until the permanent bridge is done. A tooth print is taken and in a two-day period it is constructed locally. The participating teeth are peeled, a tooth print is taken and within a two-week period the permanent bridge is ready. The patient must select a desired colour, according to the neighbouring teeth. Once ready, the patient must revisit, in order to install the bridge.
C) Veneer
What is a veneer?
A veneer is a thin, tooth-coloured steel that is attached to the front surface of the tooth to improve its appearance. They are permanently bonded to the tooth.
What materials are suitable for a veneer?
- Zircon;
- Ceramic
What does the treatment look like?
The treated tooth is peeled, a tooth print is taken and within a two-week, period the veneer is ready. The patient must select the desired colour. Once ready, the patient must revisit, in order to install the bridge.
