About Metal-Ceramic Crowns

What Are Metal-Ceramic Crowns?

Sky Dental Concept, Belgrade, Serbia

Metal-Ceramic Crowns

Metal-ceramic crowns are dental restorations used to protect and reconstruct damaged teeth. They consist of a metal base that provides strength and a ceramic layer that ensures an aesthetic appearance. This combination of materials allows for a long-lasting and durable crown that closely mimics the natural look of teeth.

These crowns are most commonly used on molars, where durability is crucial due to the greater pressure exerted during chewing. However, they can also be used on front teeth, with the ceramic color customized to seamlessly match the patient’s natural teeth.

Metal-Ceramic Crowns and Dental Implants

Metal-ceramic crowns are often used in combination with dental implants. When a patient loses one or more teeth, dental implants provide the optimal solution to replace the tooth root. These implants serve as a base for the crowns, which restore the lost tooth. Metal-ceramic crowns are one of the options for this procedure. The combination of implants and metal-ceramic crowns offers patients full functionality and aesthetics. The implant provides a stable foundation, while the crown ensures a natural appearance and long-lasting durability.

Materials Used in Production

At Sky Dental Concept, we use only the highest quality materials for the fabrication of metal-ceramic crowns. These materials not only ensure long-lasting durability but are also safe and biocompatible, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions. The quality of materials plays a crucial role in the longevity of crowns, and at Sky Dental, we guarantee a high standard at every step of the process.

  • Metal Base

    Provides strength and stability

  • Ceramic

    Delivers an aesthetic appearance, mimicking the natural color of teeth.

The Process of Installing Metal-Ceramic Crowns

The process of installing metal-ceramic crowns consists of several key steps that ensure a precise fit and maximum comfort for the patient.

  • 1

    Tooth Preparation

    The first step is preparing the tooth, which involves minimal reshaping of the damaged tooth to make space for the crown. The dentist removes a small portion of the tooth to ensure the crown’s strength and longevity while preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible.

  • 2

    Taking an Impression

    After preparation, an impression of the tooth is taken. This impression serves as the basis for creating a custom crown, ensuring a perfect fit in shape and size.

  • 3

    Cementing the Crown

    Once the crown is fabricated, it is placed and cemented onto the tooth. The dentist will first test the crown to ensure it fits perfectly, then secure it permanently with special dental cement. After this step, the patient can immediately resume normal use of the tooth.

  • 4

    Bite Check and Final Adjustments

    After cementation, the dentist checks the bite to ensure that the crown does not interfere with the proper alignment of the jaws. In this step, minor adjustments are made if necessary to achieve optimal functionality and comfort for the patient. Final polishing ensures a smooth surface on the crown and a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with the rest of the teeth.

Maintaining Metal-Ceramic Crowns

To ensure the longevity of metal-ceramic crowns, proper oral hygiene is essential. While these crowns are durable, maintenance is key to their long-term success.

  • Regular Hygiene

    Brush your teeth twice a day and use dental floss to prevent plaque buildup around the crowns.

  • Routine Checkups

    Regular visits to the dentist help detect potential issues with the crowns or underlying teeth early. This extends the crowns’ lifespan and maintains their functionality and appearance

Prices of Metal-Ceramic Crowns

It is best to consult with your dentist to get an accurate cost estimate. This way, you will receive the exact price tailored to your specific situation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the process of getting metal-ceramic crowns painful?

    The process is minimally invasive and usually painless, thanks to the use of local anesthesia during tooth preparation and reshaping.

  • How are metal-ceramic dental bridges made?

    Metal-ceramic bridges are created similarly to individual crowns. First, impressions are taken, followed by the fabrication of a metal base layered with ceramic. Bridges are used to replace multiple missing teeth, providing a stable and long-lasting solution.

  • How long do metal-ceramic crowns last?

    Metal-ceramic crowns can last between 10 and 15 years with proper care and regular dental checkups. Their longevity depends on the patient’s oral hygiene and maintenance practices.

  • What are the pros and cons of metal-ceramic crowns?

    Advantages include durability, longevity, and a natural appearance. However, the metal base may occasionally cause dark edges at the gum line, which can affect aesthetics for some patients.

  • Can metal-ceramic crowns break, and what if they do?

    While metal-ceramic crowns are highly durable, they can be damaged, especially if subjected to excessive force or used to bite hard objects. If a crown breaks, visit your dentist as soon as possible. In some cases, it can be repaired, while in others, a replacement may be needed.
