The first dental crowns were caps made of gold, covered with a thin layer of porcelain. Since then, nearly three centuries later, the list of materials for prosthetics has significantly expanded. Today, patients, in addition to prosthetics made from noble metals, can choose metal-ceramic crowns.
What is it
In order to install metal-ceramic dental crowns, the dentist will first shape the tooth, after depulping it. A tooth that has lost its nerve is considered non-living, as it loses its connection to the nervous and circulatory systems and no longer receives the vitamins and minerals it needs for survival. Over time, such a tooth loses its natural shine and strength, and becomes prone to various accompanying diseases, which may eventually lead to its removal.
Another problem with a depulped tooth covered by a metal-ceramic crown is the potential for hidden decay, which is not always easy to detect. This is why it is recommended to replace metal-ceramic crowns every 5-7 years, while monitoring for possible dental system pathologies in a timely manner.
Advantages of Metal-Ceramic Crowns
- Durability. The metal base and ceramic coating create a unique compromise between strength and aesthetics, allowing you to enjoy a smile indistinguishable from a natural one for up to eight years.
- Hygiene. Being a neutral material, metal-ceramic crowns for teeth are not susceptible to microbes and bacteria that inhabit the oral cavity. This property of the prostheses minimizes the likelihood of unpleasant odors and inflammatory gum processes.
- Attractiveness. Unlike metal or gold prostheses, metal-ceramic crowns are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth, meaning they can be placed in the so-called “smile zone.”
- Safety. Metal-ceramic dental crowns are made from certified high-quality materials in specialized laboratories, adhering to strict standards to minimize the risks of prosthodontics.
- Repair. In case of minor chipping, prostheses can be repaired directly in the mouth without removal.
- Strength. The high strength of the materials allows the prostheses to withstand significant chewing pressure without the fear of damaging the structure. This ensures that the patient experiences no issues with biting and grinding food.
Have any questions? Call and get a consultation right now!
The installation of metal-ceramic crowns is indicated when there are no other treatment alternatives. This situation most often arises if traditional fillings are ineffective or if the patient has lost one or more chewing teeth.
Contraindications for installation may include an allergy to one of the elements in the construction, as well as bite abnormalities, bruxism, and insufficient tooth height.
