The latest technology is used to achieve natural, aesthetically pleasing crowns in harmony with gums, lips, teeth and face.
Procera Crowns
These crowns are made of high strength ceramic material. The foundation for this is scanned by computer, the data is transmitted by modem to Sweden and the finished article returned - usually within two weeks, for fitting.
Most crowns have a metal base to give strength. With Procera, in the correct situation, crowns do not need any metal.
This helps in achieving a favourable aesthetic result.The finished crown has a translucence very similar to a natural tooth - The coping is made of dense-sintered aluminium oxide to maximise the strength - Aluminium oxide is a highly biocompatible material, comparable to titanium.
It is almost impossible to differentiate the artificial tooth from the natural tooth.
