1. PORCELAIN METAL: 

– Porcelain-metal (Chrome- cobalt, nickel-chromium, nickel-chromium-titanium, etc.) crown: Advantages include low cost, stability, and good for bridgework due to the steadiness of metal, loaded. However, the metal underlying line is oxidized overtime causing discoloration, and is also sensitive to hot/cold foods/drinks as metal is temperature sensitive.

– Porcelain-precious metal (gold, platinum, palladium, etc.) crown: Gold is usually used and it has several advantages over porcelain teeth. Gold is strong in thin section and less tooth needs to be drilled away before taking the impression and fitting the crown. It shrinks less when cast and is easier to polish. However, precious metals mean high costs.

2. ALL PORCELAIN (OR NON-METAL PORCELAIN CROWN): 

There are 4 types of Non-metal porcelain crown which have been using at our clinic:

– Nano Emax (Ivoclar Vivadent) offer the fit, form and function which is expected from pressed ceramics. In addition, they offer improved flexural strength (400 MPa). With optimized esthetic properties creating all-ceramic restorations that offer true-to-nature results, Nano Emax is usually used for front teeth

-Full Zirconia (IdentAlloy/IdentCeram) gots ideally combine the PRESS and CAD/CAM technique. Take advantage of the accuracy of fit as well as the strength of zirconium oxide-reinforced restorations. Because of the incredible strength and minium teeth structure removal, Full zirconia is usually used for back teeth

– Cerabien Zr (Noritake) is new porcelain for making all ceramic crowns in use with zirconia frameworks. Single crowns made from Cerabien ZR (CZR) with zirconia can be used in the posterior as well as anterior due to its extremely high flexural strength. The combination of Cerabien ZR (CZR) and zirconia will give you enhanced esthetics and fit with maximum strength for an overall superior restoration.VITA PM 9 (Pressable Material) is a press ceramic and based on the fine-structure veneering ceramic

VITA VM 9 which has proved its reliability in millions of restorations. VITA PM 9 covers a wide range of indications. It is suitable for the substructure-free staining and layering technique (inlay/onlay, veneer…)

All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide better natural color match than any other crown typeand may be more suitable for people with metal allergies.

Majority of all ceramic crowns are produced using CAD/CAM technology which is based upon 3D design, which help to achieve almost-perfect crown fitting. CAD/CAM technology is commonly used in crown designing, dental implant planning and placement.

Our doctors will advise you on which type of porcelain to use, based on the location of your missing teeth, your needs and conditions … such as: dental porcelain would be the best choice for front teeth, porcelain-metal would be a more reasonable choice for molars.

We are using only the best  brand porcelain material at our Lab in-house made by CAD/CAM technique to provide the best quality for a perfect smile.

We can complete the porcelain crowns within 24 hours with 10 years warranty at our dental center.
