All Porcelain Crowns And Bridges
What are they?
All ceramic crowns and bridges have become a viable alternative to their metal-ceramic predecessors. With advances in technology they are now both comparable in strength to metal bonded crowns and offer far superior aesthetics. More dentists and patients now elect to use these natural looking crowns and bridges when (re)creating their smile.
As there is no dark metal base our skilled technicians can confidently reproduce the natural layers of our teeth with porcelains of different shades.
