Crowns

Crowns or caps are ideal for repairing and reinforcing badly damaged teeth,serving both a cosmetic and a practical function. Made of strong porcelain, they are particularly recommended for patients with teeth that are cracked or badly decayed. By strengthening weak teeth, they can substantially reduce or eliminate pain, sensitivity, and difficulty with chewing and speaking.

Bridges

Missing teeth can cause healthy teeth to slowly migrate to the gaps, making them weak & prone to gum disease & caries.Therefore it is important to replace missing teeth to maintain health of remaining teeth. If you are missing one or more of your teeth, a dental bridge can fill the gap, thereby restoring both the form and function of your natural teeth. The bridge is comprised of an artificial tooth held together by two porcelain crowns and is custom-designed to fit snugly in the space left vacant by the missing tooth. Strong, comfortable, and virtually imperceptible, dental bridges provide a discreet, lasting solution to missing teeth.

Metal Free Ceramic Crowns

The Empress metal free ceramic crowns(caps) do not show any metal. They are extremely esthetic and cannot be differentiated from the adjacent natural teeth.(Even the patient may not be able to recognise after a few months!!!) They are suitable in cases involving front teeth where esthetics is of paramount importance and in people allergic to metal. Newer zirconia all ceramic crowns are very strong and can take heavy chewing loads. Cercon by Dentsply, Procera by Nobel & Lava by 3M are some of the zirconia metal free crowns & bridges we deliver at Dr Jacob's Omega Dental Clinic. At Omega Dental Clinic we find more and more people choosing these kind of metal free crowns over all other crowns including porcelain fused to metal crowns.
