Dental crowns,
for restoration — not cosmetics.

A crown is a full-coverage restoration. It is the right answer for a tooth that has lost too much structure to be veneered, has been root-canal-treated, or supports an implant. It is the wrong answer for a healthy tooth whose owner simply wants a brighter smile — that is a veneer case, not a crown case.

Materials

Three materials, for three different jobs.

01

Zirconia (Zirkonzahn Prettau)

Monolithic zirconia. Highest strength — our default for posterior single crowns and full-arch bridgework. Can be milled thinner than older zirconia generations.

02

e.max (Ivoclar)

Lithium-disilicate. The middle ground — strength and aesthetics combined. Our default for anterior crowns where translucency matters.

03

Feldspathic layered

Traditional porcelain, built by hand. Used rarely, when the aesthetic brief demands the subtlest light-play and the bite forces allow it.

Indications

When is a crown the correct answer?

  • Large structural loss — deep decay or fracture leaves too little tooth for a filling.
  • After root canal treatment — the tooth is structurally weaker and needs full coverage to prevent fracture.
  • Implant restoration — the visible part of the implant is a crown, screwed or cemented onto the abutment.
  • Bridge abutment — the crowns at each end of a fixed bridge span a missing tooth.
