When light meets a natural tooth, it does not simply hit a plain white surface. It is reflected, absorbed and partly transmitted through the tooth structure.
It is precisely this optical complexity that makes natural-looking restorations so demanding.
Modern dental ceramics make it possible to create crowns, partial crowns, inlays, veneers and bridges with remarkably natural optical properties.
Why all-ceramic?
All-ceramic restorations do without the traditional metal core.
This makes it possible to achieve a natural interplay of light and translucency, especially in the aesthetically visible area.
Not all ceramics are the same
Depending on the position and the load a tooth has to bear, we need different material properties.
Highly aesthetic materials can be ideal for certain front tooth restorations. In areas under greater load, high-strength ceramics may be the better choice.
That is why we do not choose the material according to a single formula, but to suit each individual restoration.
Function and aesthetics belong together
A beautiful crown that does not integrate functionally into your bite is not a good restoration.
We therefore take contact points, bite, chewing movements, material thickness and the remaining tooth structure into account just as much as colour and shape.
