When the structure of the entire tooth is compromised, a crown, which covers all the surfaces of the tooth, will need to be placed. The example illustrates a fractured front tooth which is prepared and replaced by crown. After root canal treatment also crown is needed to reinforce remaining tooth structure.

LAVA (ZIRCONIA/METAL FREE) CROWN AND BRIDGE

At Sheth Dental Clinic, we are delighted to be amongst very few Indian dentists to offer metal free crowns in just 5 working days. We use the world's renowned and trusted lava from Nobel Biocare. Nobel Biocare's unique lava technology offers esthetic and functional dental restorations. Based on the latest scanning, CAD/CAM (computer aided designing and computer aided milling) and manufacturing technologies, the lava system provides completely individualized prosthetics with unbeatably precise fit for crowns, laminates, abutments and bridges. By combining the lava manufacturing technique with Alumina and Zirconia ceramics, an unrivalled combination of biocompatibility, beauty, and strength is guaranteed. Both Alumina and Zirconia refract and transmit light in much the same way as a natural tooth, thereby giving the restoration a natural looking appearance.
