Cementing crowns and fixed partial dentures (bridges) onto implants has become increasingly popular.
The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic.
The final prosthetic can be either fixed, where a person cannot remove the denture or teeth from their mouth, or removable, where they can remove the prosthetic. In each case an abutment is attached to the implant fixture. Where the prosthetic is fixed, the crown, bridge or denture is fixed to the abutment either with lag screws or with dental cement. Where the prosthetic is removable, a corresponding adapter is placed in the prosthetic so that the two pieces can be secured together.
Our highly qualified technicians manufacture crowns to match the surrounding natural teeth in both shape and colour.
We use a technically refined ceramic with unique optical and physical properties from Austria to manufacture and finish each crown.
The perfectly coordinated ceramic materials have excellent homogeneity and thus guarantee high flexural strength. The result: a densely sintered structure for pure and non-porous layering with the utmost reliability.
The ceramic creates iridescent light refraction and natural brilliance and enhances the strength. Exceptional colour nuances can additionally be created with the unique effect materials.
When we’re done, nobody will be able to point out the natural teeth from the implants!
