Non-Metallic Crowns

Non-Metallic Crowns

Metal based crowns are strong, but can give rise to dark lines around the gum. Using modern materials and techniques we are able to provide crowns which are strong, and look great.

We use the Cercon system, which involves making a machined core for the crown. This has the advantage of being very strong but has the advantage over other systems in that the core is translucent allowing the natural colour of the tooth to reflect though the crown.

Normally, we ask the patient to attend the on-site laboratory for shade selection. This allows the technician to include small nuances of shade and subtleties of shape to ensure a natural aesthetic result.
