Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are placed as a cover over the root canal – treated teeth, implants, or natural teeth—to restore their shape and size, strength, and appearance. This is the visible part of the tooth that is placed above the gum line.
WE Dental prefers to provide our patients with tooth crowns with the latest and highest-end material on the market. There are many types of tooth crowns available. They are broadly classified as metal ceramic crowns and metal-free ceramic crowns.
Metal-free ceramic crowns look more natural and aesthetic when compared to metal ceramic crowns. Metal ceramic crowns reflect an opaque shade of metal that makes their appearance dull. This type of crown is recommended for the front and anterior teeth for a natural and more pleasing smile. There are many options available at the WE Dental Clinic for metal-free ceramic crowns.
Zirconium is a white metal alloy made up of zirconium oxide, which is used for fabricating dental crowns. The advantage of zirconia crowns is their high-strength material, which requires comparatively minimal tooth preparation. Zirconia crowns are available in various translucent shades that can match the natural tooth very precisely. It’s more biocompatible and safe in an oral environment. It’s exclusively advised for back teeth and posterior teeth because of its high strength and durability.
E-max crowns are made up of lithium disilicate ceramic material. E-Max crowns deliver outstanding aesthetics and precision fit. The crown is comparatively thin and requires minimal tooth preparation. Since the material is more transparent and transmits light, it looks thin but has properties with high strength. This is indicated exclusively for front teeth to precisely look natural and give a flawless smile.
