Crowns
What are dental crowns?
For dental restorations, crowns are used to fit completely over the tooth and replicate its shape. Anna Metreveli Dental Clinic offers crowns made of metal-ceramic, zircon-ceramic and press-ceramic materials.
How long do crowns last?
The durability of crowns depends on individual cases. With strict maintenance and hygiene by the patient, the crown lasts at least 10 years.
What does a crown made with digital technologies mean?
At the Ana Metreveli Dental Center, you can have your crowns made using digital technology, the so-called “CEREC ” technology. This technology implies the preparation of a crown in just one visit, without imprints or temporary crowns.
How is a crown made digitally?
With digital technology, an orthodontist, using a three-dimensional intraoral video camera, takes an impression of the patient’s teeth, which then is digitally transferred to the machine to start the “casting” of the teeth. Only pressed ceramics, a material that is very close to the natural tooth, are used in digital technology.
Dental Bridges
What are dental bridges and when are they used?
An orthopedic bridge is an artificial tooth structure that is used to restore missing teeth. Just like crowns, bridges are made of ceramic, a superior quality material.
How long do bridges last?
The durability of a bridge depends on individual cases and proper care and hygiene. If the patient follows the instructions of the orthopedic surgeon properly, the bridge will last 10-30 years on average.
