Materials for the manufacture of tooth crowns.

 

For each patient, everything is selected individually, there is no exact definition of which material is better, it all depends on the situation, the wishes of the client and, of course, the budget for treatment. 

 

Modern crowns are made of:

1. Cermets - a two-layer crown, inside a metal frame made of alloy, ceramics on the outside to give a natural look. In the frame, expensive metals can be used;

2. Non-metal ceramics - the composition is completely made of ceramics, the absence of metal allows you to get a natural look, it is difficult to distinguish a natural tooth from an artificial one;

3. All-metal design - made entirely of metal, long service life, but the appearance is considered unaesthetic;

4. A metal composite is another name for metal + plastic, as the outside is covered with plastic in the color of the rest of the teeth. The disadvantage is unreliability, unhealthy, but the price is very low.

 

It is worth noting that each of the above materials has its own subgroups that differ in properties, appearance, durability and cost. You need to sign up for an initial examination in our Clinic to determine the diagnosis, treatment method and selection of material for the future crown. The price of a crown depends on the listed factors, which are determined during the examination.
