Go for the gold!
Gold has been used in dentistry for tooth repair for more than 4,000 years. Gold and gold alloy crowns rarely chip or break. They don’t wear down easily and require minimal tooth removal to be applied. These crowns are very durable and can last for decades.
About teeth design
What is teeth design?
Teeth design can include patterns, shapes or simple drawings that you would like to have applied to your new crowns.
What materials are the tooth designs made of?
They are made with any available material of your choice. The designs are hand made patterns, created by our dental technicians in the laboratory and applied to your new crowns.
How many times do I have to come to the dental office and how long does the manufacturing of a design take?
It takes the same amount of time as it does for the making of regular crowns or veneers. Depending on the complexity of the pattern, you might have to account for a day or two more.
Does tooth design application hurt?
No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia and is completely painless. Due to the process of scraping and the way the imprint is taken, it is possible to feel temporary sensitivity on the gums after the procedure.
About Gold / Metal dental crowns
What are dental crowns?
Crowns are tooth-shaped “caps”, most often ceramic (porcelain) substitutes hand-made by our technicians in the dental laboratory. We decide to use crowns in several situations: if the tooth is damaged to such an extent that aesthetic filling cannot solve the problem of shape, if most of the tooth is broken, if teeth are darkened due to treatment or if the majority of the tooth structure is missing so that the tooth threatens to break.
How many times do I have to come and how much time does it take to manufacture a crown?
It is usual to visit the dental clinic twice. During the first appointment, we prepare the teeth for the crowns and we make temporary crowns. Depending on the number of crowns and the complexity, the constructing time varies from 4 to 8 days.
During the second appointment, the crowns are finished and cemented.
How long does tooth preparation take and will it hurt?
Depending on the number of crowns and the complexity, as well as the patience of the patient, the time for tooth preparation and impression-taking varies from 1 hour to even several hours.
Tooth preparation is completely painless and it is done under local anesthesia.
Will I be toothless after tooth preparation?
Of course not!
Temporary crowns are made immediately after taking the dental impression. At no point will you leave the clinic without a tooth!
Which type of crown will be used?
We decide to use the crown if the tooth is damaged to such an extent that aesthetic filling cannot solve the problem of shape if most of the tooth is broken, if teeth are darkened due to treatment or if the majority of the tooth structure is missing so that the tooth threatens to break.
Depending on the necessity and circumstances, nowadays we are able to choose between several types of material.
