What is a dental crown, inlay or onlay?

A porcelain piece that covers the entire or partial portion of a prepared tooth. Dental crowns have many applications:

  • Cosmetic enhancement of a tooth that has unusual shape or stubborn discoloration.
  • Restore function of a broken tooth or one with a small or large area of decay.
  • Protect a tooth that has had root canal therapy.
  • Complete a dental implant restoration.
  • Anchor a dental bridge in place.

Types of crowns

Throughout history, dental crowns have been made of many materials. Today,  our dentists use the best biocompatible choices:

  • Zirconia – A durable option for posterior teeth,  that reduces plaque accumulation around the teeth.
  • Porcelain Layered Zirconia – a more esthetic option, great for anterior teeth
  • Emax – a durable lithium desilicated ceramic, that allows us to imitate the natural beauty of tooth structure

Solving dental crown problems

Our non-metal crowns are precision milled from a solid block of zirconium oxide. This dental crown material solves many of the problems associated with other types. It looks completely natural, mimicking the translucency and light-reflecting qualities of tooth enamel. Plus, there is no dark line where the crown meets the gum tissue.

Zirconia crowns carry no chance of allergy, metal reactivity or galvanic current in the mouth. Risk of chipping or breakage is less than a porcelain crown with a metal core. Because the crown is made from exacting images and measurements taken with a 3D digital impression scanner, the fit is meticulous. This reduces the risk of irritation at the gum line that could lead to periodontal disease or tooth decay. Zirconia is strong enough for molar restorations that take a great deal of bite force.
