Metal-Free Crowns
Metal-free crowns represent a modern solution for restoring damaged teeth. Made from high-quality ceramic materials, these crowns provide a natural look by perfectly blending with the color and textures of natural teeth. Additionally, their strength and resistance make them a long-lasting solution.
Metal-Ceramic Crowns
Metal-ceramic crowns are a more traditional solution that combines a metal base with a ceramic layer. These crowns provide exceptional strength and durability, while the ceramic layer allows for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This makes them an excellent choice for restoring posterior teeth, where additional strength is needed.
Combined Works
Combined works involve the combination of different materials, such as metal and ceramics, to achieve an optimal result. This flexibility allows the dentist to personalize prosthetic work according to the needs of each patient, ensuring a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
Dentures
Dentures are a classic solution for the loss of multiple teeth or even all teeth in the jaw. Modern materials allow the creation of dentures that are comfortable, aesthetically acceptable, and durable. With technological advancements, flexible dentures are becoming increasingly popular, providing additional comfort and a natural look.
