Returning the Elegance of Nature's Design to the Mouth
Benefits of a Procera crown:
- No metal, all ceramic
- Superior esthetic result when compared to traditional crowns
- More conservative preparation and quick results
Sometimes if a
tooth is damaged or is of poor quality due to a previous filling, a new
ceramic crown could be the best choice. It provides a natural looking tooth - difficult to tell from the real thing.
The
all-ceramic Procera crown has many advantages over traditional crowns.
Besides its high esthetic quality, the function and longevity of the
crown is excellent as well. This is an ideal restoration for clients who want to eliminate any metal in the mouth.
An alternative to a Procera crown: A porcelain fused to metal crown (PFM)
The PFM crown consists of a metal core that has porcelain baked on to it. A PFM crown has been a typical solution even though function and costs are comparative to that of a ceramic crown. However, it can be a better solution for molar teeth and/or for those who have a "funky" bite.
