Crowns & Bridges
At Elite Dental Clinic, crowns are used to replace missing teeth and restore functionality. They can be crafted from gold, metal, porcelain, or tooth-colored zirconium. Our durable and natural-looking white crowns are designed to enhance your confidence and perfect your smile.
Ceramic Fused to Metal Crowns
At Elite Dental Clinic, porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns are a reliable option featuring a metal backing that can be closely color-matched to your natural teeth, unlike metallic crowns. However, over time, the ceramic overlay may wear off, and the metal underneath can become visible, sometimes appearing as a dark line near the gums. These crowns may require upgrading or replacement after a few years to maintain their appearance and functionality.
All Ceramic crowns
At Elite Dental Clinic, all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns offer an exceptional natural color match, making them an ideal choice for enhancing your smile. These crowns are particularly suitable for individuals with metal allergies and are a perfect option for restoring front teeth with elegance and precision.
Zirconium crowns
Zirconium is the strongest all-ceramic coping material available today. Zirconium is ideal for those who are sensitive to metal or simply prefer the aesthetics of metal-free restorations. Its bio-compatibility has been proven through the years in the medical field.
Zirconium crowns and bridges are so strong they can be used anywhere in the mouth. Zirconium crowns can withstand the biting pressure of the front teeth as well as back teeth grinding. The look of zirconium crowns and bridges is so close to natural teeth that it is hard to tell the difference and it is this quality which makes it very usable within dental work.
