The metal-free crown
Dental technology never stands still, and at Dental House Zierikzee we are proud of our modern practice and its advanced technology. One of the options this gives us is fitting metal-free crowns.
The main advantage of a metal-free crown is that it looks entirely natural. The crown is made of porcelain or ceramic, so it can be matched perfectly to the colour of your other teeth. That makes the metal-free crown particularly suitable for visible teeth, such as the front teeth.
Durability and biocompatibility
Another advantage of a metal-free crown is that it is more durable than a traditional crown. The material is stronger and more wear-resistant, so the crown lasts longer. The material is also biocompatible, meaning it does not cause allergic reactions. That makes the metal-free crown a safe, healthy choice for patients with sensitive teeth or allergies.
Preserving tooth structure
Fitting a metal-free crown requires less tooth structure to be removed than a traditional crown, because the stronger material can be applied more thinly. More of your natural tooth is preserved, which is better for the long-term health of your teeth.
The traditional crown
Although the metal-free crown has many advantages, a traditional crown can still be a good option for some patients. At Dental House Zierikzee we combine technology with heart and always look at what is best for your specific situation.
A traditional crown is made from a combination of metals, such as gold or silver, and porcelain. The metal provides extra strength and durability, while the porcelain gives a natural appearance.
Suitable for back molars
A traditional crown is particularly suitable for back molars, which take a lot of force during chewing. The metal adds strength and prevents fractures or damage. The material is also less prone to wear from grinding your teeth.
Cost
Another factor to consider when choosing a crown is price. A traditional crown is generally less expensive than a metal-free one. That can be an important consideration for patients without extensive dental insurance.
