When it comes to dental fillings, composite resin is the material of choice for both the dentist and the patient. Composite material is much more conservative, esthetically and functionally pleasant, and cannot compare with the previously used amalgam.

As a a holistic dentistry clinic, Grandismedozon focuses on treatment options that retain more of the healthy dental structure, while providing superior aesthetic results.

Composite obturations undoubtedly meet both requirements. The composite fillings are custom made, from a resin-based composite material, a plastic mixture filled with quartz glass powder, silicon dioxide, or other ceramic tooth-colored particles that mimic the natural tooth as appearance, sensation and function.

Composites are used to restore a decayed area as well as it can successfully be used in esthetic improvement of minor dental defects such as small holes or cracks, but also remodeling teeth that are deformed or discolored.

When properly applied, a composite filling can offer the following invaluable advantages over traditional metal fillings:

• Ideal esthetics – perfectly blends with your smile for more natural results,
• Durability – usually lasts longer in time compared with amalgam fillings, and chemical adhesion to enamel and dentin strengthens the weakened tooth and prevents its cracking
• Conservative – For the application of the filling it is necessary to remove only the affected dental tissue, maintaining more healthy dental structure,
• Prevent future tooth decay – Smooth and glued edges mean less plaque accumulation and fewer chances for future cavities,
• Easily repaired – any scraping can easily be repaired by additional composite.

When we have an enlarged cavity and the size of the filling is greater than 40-50% of the crown of the tooth, it is recommended to have an integral ceramic or zirconium inlay, which is a reconstruction of the dental crown made in the laboratory, by the dental technician, having as un ultimate goal the regain of the function and esthetic appearance of the molars and premolars.

The use of Inlays and onlays is a wonder of modern dentistry that has transformed into reality the application of biomimetic principles, being a much more effective alternative to traditional amalgam fillings.

Known in the literature as inlay and onlay, they are a standard procedure for the restauration of molars and premolars at Grandismedozon Clinic are. The difference between the two inlay / onlay concepts depends on the extent of destruction of the dental tissue.

Often called a partial crown, onlay inlays are a highly effective restoration solution. Being a completely non-invasive treatment, onlay restaurations provide the tooth strength, hardness and natural appearance, avoiding a more invasive restorative dental procedure, such as an artificial dental crown.

If you want to transform your smile and become self-confident, dental veneers are for you. Veneers are designed to conceal dental imperfections and make teeth look healthier and more beautiful.

Veneers cover the front (visible) of the tooth and can be used to correct a wide range of dental problems, such as:

• discolored teeth or teeth that cannot be bleached by professional whitening procedures,
• dental imperfections or uneven surfaces,
• crooked or deformed teeth,
• worn-out or damaged teeth,
• spaced teeth, uneven or irregularly shaped.

At our clinic, we use full-pressed or monolithic IPS e.max glass-ceramic for the creation of dental veneers.

Numerous clinical evidence from long-term scientific studies recognize IPS e.max lithium-disilicate (LS2) glass-ceramic for its resilience, durability and outstanding quality of the final esthetics. IPS e.max prosthetic restorations are 100% non-metallic, being made of bio-compatible materials of high purity.

Transform your life with a confident smile!

In the past, crowns and dental bridges were made of metal, being long-lasting and relatively inexpensive. The metal-ceramic crowns appeared as a prosthetic option in restoration later, being similar to natural teeth appearance and offered resistance, durability and precision.

However, it is difficult to obtain the translucency of natural teeth in a restauration that comprises metal. The light does not pass through the metal as it does through natural teeth, leaving a lifeless look. In addition, over time, metal can leave a dark crest after the gum retracts.

Why metal-free crowns are a wise alternative?
Ceramic dental crowns and zirconium dental crowns are the label of dental work quality, being top quality on this segment, most often made by 3D CAD / CAM computerized technology, the most modern and accurate dental restoration worldwide.

Full ceramic and zirconium oxide crowns are biocompatible and meet the highest esthetic expectations. Therefore, light can shine through these restorations, as it does through natural teeth, in addition, the adjacent gum will not present dark edges.

In modern dentistry, they are the top reference for dental crowns due to their increased resistance over time and provision of a natural teeth glow.

Advantages of metal-free dental crowns include:

• lack of metal content, equivalent to lack of allergic reaction to metal;
• biocompatibility;
• color stability;
• wear resistance;
• reduced thermal conduction, which may protect the dental nerve tissue;
• need for minimally-invasive teeth preparation;
• redefining the smile and color of teeth;
• a long-term investment.

For the manufacture of non-metal dental crowns at Grandismedozon clinic, we use compressed or monolithic IPS emax or ceramic zirconia using 3D CAD / CAM computer-aided manufacture technology.

Your smile deserves something more precious than metal! Now you can bring natural beauty and glow to your smile!
