Aesthetic crowns?

The main purpose of dental crowns is to restore teeth that have suffered damage such as fractures, caries, pigmentation or nerve treatment. These allow restoring chewing functions to the teeth.

What happens when esthetics is compromised? Currently in dentistry a material called lithium disilicate is used, which allows making aesthetic crowns, being metal-free, made entirely of porcelain.

Lithium disilicate is a ceramic material that combines high strength with a high aesthetic finish, excellent adaptation, natural color and great durability.

The 3 main advantages of this type of system are:

Aesthetics: Full porcelain crowns, since they do not have metal, present a much higher level of aesthetics than traditional metal porcelain crowns, as they are highly translucent, achieving excellent results in color and highly aesthetic details.

Resistance: full porcelain crowns, being made of lithium disilicate, present resistance to chewing forces, similar or even superior to natural teeth, which makes it a long lasting material.

Biocompatibility: porcelain is a highly biocompatible material, it is well tolerated by gingival tissues, thus avoiding problems such as inflammation or gum recession; besides, it is the ideal option for patients who are allergic to metals.

One of the factors to take into account is that the indication for this type of restoration is for single crowns or bridges with a maximum of three units.

The new techniques of dentistry will allow you to enjoy a highly aesthetic smile, so you can look and feel as you have always wanted, smiling at life.
