Currently crowns for missing teeth are far more esthetic, precise and durable since we have adopted itero scanner for scanning and planning the cases for crowns and bridges. Zirconia metal free crowns are far more better than the earlier metal or metal ceramic crowns
We also give an warranty of minimum 10yrs for these crowns and most of our patients opt for these zirconia metal free digital crowns.However there are various types over and above the basic Zirconia crowns depending on the area of missing teeth.
Digital dental crowns
1)what is a dental crown ?
A dental crown or cap is placed over a prepared tooth — to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance.
2) why is a dental crown needed?
-To protect a weak tooth (for instance ,Root canal treated) from breaking .

-Dental implant and a bridge .
-To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left.
3)what are the types of dental crowns
-Stainless steel
-Metal crowns (alloys containing gold,platinum or Base metals such as cobalt- chromium and nickel-chromium alloys)
-Porcelain-fused-to-metal
-All Resin
-All-ceramic or all-porcelain
3)How do we obtain an accurate fit of the crown?
-High-quality impressions are critical to the success of a restorative procedure.
-There are two methods -Digital and conventional impressions .
4)How is the digital crown better than the conventional?
-Working digitally eliminates risk of errors and greatly reduces waste .
-A significant benefit of digital impressioning is its accuracy.
-In contrast, digital impressions allow clinicians to magnify and evaluate a digital scan and correct any mistakes while the patient is still in the chair.
-Less chair side time
-Better patient comfort.
5)How do we make digital Impression
-After the tooth is prepared an intra-oral scanner is used to capture the high -resolution digital Impression of the prepared tooth and the surrounding structures.
-The scan is processed and sent to the lab for fabrication of the crown .
