Many patients are looking for a metal-free crown option. Willow Tree Dental with the use of CAD/CAM technology through CEREC offer all-ceramic crown restorations so you don’t have to have that unpleasant grey or black line around crowns at the gumline.
A porcelain-metal crown is a porcelain overlay on top of a metal substructure. Traditionally, this is the type of crown most dentists and laboratories made. It is a strong and reliable crown. Unfortunately, it is not the most esthetic type of crown due to the shadowing of the metal. In the last 10 years, with the release of newer and stronger ceramics, we are now able to offer a metal free crown and bridge option that are made entirely of porcelain or zirconia. Because of this, we can now truly offer restorations that can give a patient something to smile about.
Willow Tree Dental uses CEREC technology to fabricate same day all-ceramic restorations in our office while you wait. For more information, visit our CEREC page.
If you are a patient in the Mansfield, Arlington or Grand Prairie area that is tired of the metal showing on your crowns and are interested in all ceramic crowns, please request an appointment or call us at 817-453-2983. You can also use our contact form if you have any specific questions.
