Metal-ceramic dental crowns

The fixation of metal-ceramic crowns is one of the most popular types of dental prosthetics in modern dentistry. This popularity is due to several factors: affordable cost of metal-ceramic crowns, high durability, absence of usage limitations, and the maximum resemblance of artificial crowns to natural teeth in terms of shape, color, and comfort.

At the “New Life” dental center, we offer high-quality installation of such prostheses with a guarantee of complete painlessness, reliability, and durability. The procedure is carried out by highly qualified dentists with over 10 years of practical experience in prosthetics.

Prosthetics using metal-ceramic materials allows for the restoration of lost chewing and speech functions, as well as achieving a beautiful, white smile that requires no more care than natural teeth.

The indications for installing such prostheses include:

• Improvement of dental row functionality.
• Correction of speech impairments.
• Trauma to individual teeth.
• Absence of one or several teeth in the row.
• Structural damage to teeth.
• Restoration of tooth shape after caries or periodontitis.

The dentists at the “New Life” center quickly identify the indications for prosthetics and provide high-quality diagnostics. If necessary, treatment is conducted in comfortable conditions until the problem, its causes, and symptoms are fully resolved.

Modern metal-ceramic crowns are categorized by the type and properties of the material used to create the framework. Special alloys with high strength and hypoallergenic properties are commonly used. Popular options include:

• Chromium-cobalt alloys.
• Precious metal alloys (silver + palladium, gold + platinum).

Crowns made from precious metals are more expensive but offer better adaptability to tissues and greater durability. Depending on the manufacturing method, crowns can be cast or milled.

Metal-ceramic crowns are an excellent choice for their balance of price and quality. They are suitable for patients of all ages and are indistinguishable from natural teeth. These prostheses are recommended in the following cases:

1. Complete loss of one or several teeth.
2. Increased wear of dental tissue.
3. Damage to the dental row due to injuries.
4. Contraindications to veneers or inlays.
5. Pathological changes in teeth.

The prosthetic process typically takes 10–14 days. Each session lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the complexity of the procedure, the condition of the oral cavity, and the number of teeth to be restored.

If there are no contraindications, the dentist treats the oral cavity and prepares for prosthetics.

Afterward, an impression is taken for crown fabrication. While the permanent crown is being made, a temporary one is placed.

Once the framework is covered with ceramics, the final fitting and adjustments are completed.

The finished prosthesis is not only fully functional but also aesthetically pleasing. It does not cause discomfort during chewing, does not alter the bite, and prevents gaps between the gums and the tooth.

Our clinic offers optimal conditions for installing metal-ceramic crowns. We use modern equipment, conduct thorough diagnostics, and address related dental pathologies if needed.

The cost of metal-ceramic crowns at “New Life” is affordable even for patients on a tight budget. Appointments are scheduled individually, with no need to wait in line.
