New Crown & Implant Center
Dental crown
The crown holds the tooth together, protects it from external influences and provides a suitable chewing surface.
Indications for making a crown:
What is a crown made of?
The crown has two parts:
One is a strong framework, which can be made of several materials such as metal, zirconium and emax, which holds and protects the tooth.
The other part is the porcelain covering, which patterns the chewing surface and restores the natural beauty of the tooth.
Implant-supported Single Tooth Replacement
Dental bridge
The bridge can be made for the remaining teeth, which must be reshaped in this case, as well as for implants, which will be the pillars of the bridge replacement.
In the case of an implant bridge, the implanted, healed implants provide the foundation of the bridge.
Advantages of a dental bridge:
a spectacular, aesthetic result
immediately eliminates missing teeth and provides the original chewing function
What does a dental bridge consist of?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dental prosthesis?
Our teeth are very sensitive. Over the course of life, teeth can be lost due to decay or periodontitis, or due to accidents. In these cases, dental prosthesis is necessary. This dental prosthesis can involve individual teeth or the entire dentition. The natural teeth are replaced by artificial teeth. These artificial teeth are made of various materials. The most commonly used materials are:
- Precious metal alloys
- Non-precious metal alloys
- Plastics
- Ceramics
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridges are used to bridge gaps between teeth. This is often done when a tooth is lost or knocked out. The bridge is attached to the healthy tooth. Dentists refer to these teeth as abutment teeth. The bridge itself is a crown, with a new tooth attached in the middle. Bridges are a cost-effective way to replace teeth and last a long time. However, over time, the tooth may become damaged and die. Additionally, the edge of the bridge provides a good breeding ground for bacteria that can lead to decay.
Which dental prosthesis is the best?
Fixed dental prostheses such as bridges or crowns offer the best quality of life, also because these procedures are not too invasive. Of course, the best solution always depends on the individual case.
What types of dental prostheses are there?
- Removable dental prostheses
- Fixed dental prostheses
- Full dentures
- Partial dentures
