Metal-free ceramic crown

Restoring the chewing function after a greater loss of substance

Gaps between teeth are closed from a medical and an aesthetic point of view, in order to harmonise the chewing forces in the mouth and to complete the row of teeth again. If the neighbouring teeth are free of larger fillings and damage, an implant is a good option for preserving this healthy tooth substance.

Where a refined aesthetic effect is to be achieved, purely metal-free ceramic crowns and bridges offer an alternative with an outstanding appearance. Ceramic is impressive for its translucency, colour and structure. These crowns and bridges cannot be distinguished from natural teeth.

Ceramic is impressive for its translucency, colour and structure – crowns and bridges made of all-ceramics cannot be distinguished from natural teeth.

Crown, bridge or implant?

We advise you on all the alternatives

Which restoration is the right one in an individual case depends on the condition of the neighbouring teeth, on the available bone and on your wishes. We take the time to explain the alternatives with their advantages and disadvantages in an understandable way – including costs, timescale and aesthetic effect.

The most important points at a glance

  • A crown encases a badly damaged tooth and restores its shape and chewing function.
  • A bridge closes a gap and is supported by the neighbouring teeth.
  • For a bridge, healthy neighbouring teeth have to be ground down – an implant avoids this.
  • We compare the alternatives for you with their advantages, disadvantages and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is a filling no longer enough?
When too little stable tooth substance is left to carry a filling safely - for example after extensive decay, a fracture or a root canal treatment. A crown then protects the tooth from further loss of substance.
Bridge or implant - which is better?
There is no blanket answer. A bridge is finished more quickly and needs no surgery, but it does require healthy neighbouring teeth to be ground down. An implant preserves the neighbouring teeth and loads the bone, but needs time to heal in.
How long does a bridge last?
Many bridges last more than ten years and longer. What matters is the quality of the abutment teeth, the precision of the fit and your oral hygiene - especially in the interdental spaces beneath the pontic.
Do I get a temporary restoration while the work is being made?
Yes. You do not leave the practice with a prepared tooth or a visible gap - until the definitive restoration is placed you wear a temporary one.
