Metal
Free Crowns
If you've been avoiding a crown or cap because you think they all show big black lines around the gum line, or because you think you have to remove a lot of tooth structure, it's time to rethink the issue.

Metal-free crowns enable the doctors to create the most natural restorations possible and conserve tooth structure. Since there is no metal in the crowns we make, light passes through the special aesthetic, yet ultra-durable porcelain to create an appearance that is like a natural tooth. Shade matching is much easier than with the older, metal-containing crowns. The doctors often prescribe customized porcelain shades to match existing teeth. These shades are selected in our treatment rooms, which have been equipped with special lighting systems to simulate natural sunlight. And even better, less tooth-cutting is usually required to perform these procedures. Modern technological advances in porcelain manufacturing and adhesion have allowed the doctors to work with a number of different metal-free crown systems. They will always choose the one that is right for each particular situation.
