Modern dental crowns today are made by computerized milling and digital design. The accuracy is very high and the fit is perfect if the steps are done correctly. Below, we present you the main types of permanent dental crowns that you can choose for in Life Dental Spa clinics:

 

Ceramic crowns

 

  • Material: made entirely of ceramic materials such as porcelain
  • Aesthetics: they offer a very natural look, replicating the translucency of natural teeth. This is one of the main reasons why they are chosen, especially for front teeth.
  • Durability: ceramic crowns are highly wear-resistant, but can be more brittle than metal or composite crowns. They can break or crack under high pressure.
  • Biological compatibility: they are biocompatible, which means they are unlikely to cause allergic reactions or gum irritation.
  • Price: usually more expensive than other types of crowns.

 

Composite crowns

 

  • Material: they are made from a combination of materials, including resins and some glass.
  • Aesthetics: although they may be aesthetically pleasing and can be matched to the natural color of your teeth, they may not have the same degree of translucency as ceramic crowns.
  • Durability: composite crowns are durable, but may be prone to discoloration over time, especially if the patient smokes or drinks staining beverages such as coffee or wine.
  • Biological compatibility: like ceramic crowns, composite crowns are biocompatible and have a low risk of causing allergic reactions.
  • Price: they are generally less expensive than other types of crowns.

 

Zirconia crowns

 

  • Material: zirconia (or zirconium oxide) is a highly resistant ceramic material.
  • Aesthetics: zirconia crowns have a natural white color, which allows them to blend harmoniously with natural teeth. They can be a very good choice for front teeth due to their aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • Durability: zirconia is known for its exceptional durability and fracture resistance, being one of the hardest materials used in dentistry.
  • Biological compatibility: zirconia is biocompatible, with a low risk of causing allergic reactions or gum irritation.
  • Price: zirconia crowns can be more expensive than other types of crowns because of their superior properties.
