Porcelain Crows

Dental Crowns:
 
Over time our teeth can fracture for multiple reasons, including poor hygiene that leads to tooth decay. Porcelain Crowns are an excellent option to rebuild or replace teeth that are in poor condition.
 
Dental Crowns are a kind of "jacket" that is placed over a broken or fractured tooth to restore its shape, improve its aesthetic appearance and thus prevent further damage.
 
Oralimagen has laboratories that have included the highest technology for their processes: systems of both CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing).
 
Types of Dental Crowns
 
Dental Crowns are made of metal, ceramic or porcelain fused with metal. The type of crown used during the procedure will depend on individual needs and goals, as well as the dentist's recommendation.
 
All-Ceramic Crowns
 
Ceramic crowns give an extremely natural appearance and are generally used in the front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of natural teeth, and the size and shape can be imitated in detail to complement the rest of your smile.
 
At Oralimagen we recommend full Porcelain Crowns to restore front teeth and for people who demand greater aesthetics as these crowns provide a totally natural appearance. In this procedure it is essential to use a good specialized laboratory.
 
Metal Porcelain Crowns
 
Metal Porcelain Crowns may be an ideal option for the repair of decayed or damaged back teeth. They are extremely durable and can be composed of various materials, such as gold alloy, palladium, nickel alloy or chromium alloy.  The metallic color does not transform them into an optimal option for very visible front teeth because the light can make them appear slightly opaque with an unnatural translucency.
 
 
All-Ceramic Crowns - Zirconium:
 
Ceramic or zirconium crowns without metal can be made of porcelain, resins or ceramic dental materials. They offer an extremely natural appearance and are generally used in front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of natural teeth, and the size and shape can be imitated in detail to complement the rest of your smile.
 
At Oralimagen we recommend full Porcelain Crowns to restore front teeth and for people who demand greater aesthetics as these crowns provide a totally natural appearance. In this procedure it is essential to use a good specialized laboratory.

 
Duration
 
With proper hygiene, dental crowns can remain in the mouth for an average of 10 to 15 years.
 
We use state-of-the-art technology for the preparation of our crowns, through automated systems called CAD / CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing), for greater precision and speed in our treatments.
 
Time Required for the fitting of your crowns:
 
The minimum time required in the city of Medellin is 1 week for the development of your crown(s). However, there are additional procedures that can lengthen the time, such as: coronal lengthening (surgery on the gum and bone around the tooth), root canals, and others.
