Metal Ceramic Crowns

Dental prosthetics

Dental prosthetics are essential for restoring the natural function, appearance, and comfort of your teeth. At our clinic, we offer a wide range of modern prosthetic solutions, designed to meet each patient’s individual needs and preferences. Using advanced materials and technologies, we ensure durable, aesthetic, and custom-made restorations for every case.

For damaged or weakened teeth, we provide ceramic, zirconia, and metal-ceramic crowns—each selected based on strength, longevity, and visual harmony with your natural teeth. Our ceramic veneers offer a beautiful, minimally invasive way to improve the color, shape, and alignment of your front teeth, delivering a bright, confident smile.

We specialize in dental prosthetics on implants, offering both single-tooth solutions and full-arch restorations. One of the most effective methods we use is the All-on-4 system, which allows us to restore an entire row of teeth using only four strategically placed implants—ensuring stability, function, and aesthetics even in cases of total tooth loss.

For patients who are missing all their teeth or are not candidates for implants, we also provide removable dentures and prosthetics in the absence of teeth, crafted for comfort, functionality, and a natural appearance. Our goal is to restore not only your smile, but also your ability to chew, speak, and enjoy life with confidence.

Reliability and availability

The choice of materials used for the manufacture of artificial crowns is quite wide today: porcelain, zirconium dioxide, but metal-ceramic remains the most popular and affordable.

Metal-ceramic crowns are a “cap” that completely repeats the anatomy of the tooth. The basis of the design is a metal frame, which is covered with porcelain on top, repeating the color of the tissue of neighboring teeth. An artificial crown is fixed to the tooth using a special composite or ionomer cement. If the tooth is severely damaged, it is pre-restored with a fiberglass insert. Metal-ceramic is also used to make bridges, beagle prostheses, and implant-supported crowns.

Pros and cons of cermets.
The advantage of metal-ceramic crowns is primarily in their strength. That is why they are most often fixed on chewing teeth. The disadvantages include their aesthetics. In general, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns reproduce the anatomy of natural teeth well, but porcelain crowns are preferred for restoring anterior teeth. In the posterior region, where a combination of aesthetics and strength is required, zirconia crowns are the best choice.

Additionally, metal-ceramic crowns are highly durable and resistant to wear, making them a practical solution for long-term use. Their longevity often surpasses that of all-ceramic crowns, especially in patients with strong bite forces. However, over time, the metal framework may become visible near the gum line due to gum recession, which can affect the overall appearance. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene help maintain the crown’s condition and prevent complications such as gum inflammation or decay around the crown edges.
