Dental Crown will make your new tooth both strong and beautiful.  It is suitable for prosthetic reconstructions anywhere in the mouth. At Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, we promise you the best experience in dental crown in Thailand. Dental crowns and bridges are a major part of our practice. We are one of the very few dental clinics in Thailand with its own in house dental laboratory, so nothing has to be sent out thus delaying your treatment. Our in-house dental lab combines high tech equipment with experienced dental technicians, to guarantee that all of our dental crowns and bridges are made to exact specifications. Most dental clinics have to outsource these needs to separate facilities – sometimes even to other countries, giving you a more “mass manufactured,” less personal result, rather than an independent, customized result that we can give here at Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic.

     Dental crowns are made of metal, ceramic, porcelain fused to metal or composite/polymer. The type of crown utilized during your dental crown procedure will depend on your unique needs and goals, as well as the recommendation of your dentist.

     All ceramic crown is made of porcelain or dental ceramic materials. They create an extremely natural-looking appearance and are typically used on front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of your natural teeth, and size and shade can be carefully matched to complement the rest of your smile. All porcelain crowns will make your new tooth both strong and beautiful. This tissue friendly porcelain crown recreates the strength and natural beauty of your tooth. Due to the strength in the modified core material, all porcelain crowns are suitable for prosthetic reconstructions anywhere in the mouth. In addition, more and more patients are asking for constructions made of materials not containing metal or other alloys. All porcelain crowns are made of a biocompatible material which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions.

     Porcelain fused to metal dental crown is a hybrid between all-metal crown and all porcelain crown. When being manufactured, our dental technicians will make a shell of metal (substructure) that is custom fitted for your affected tooth. A veneer of porcelain is then fused over this metal, giving the crown a white tooth-like appearance. Porcelain fused to metal crowns has the advantages of having a nearly natural appearance from the porcelain, and the strength and stability provided by the underlying metal. Porcelain fused to metal dental crowns is stronger than the all porcelain crowns but are more prone to fracture than an all-metal dental crown.

     Although their metallic color makes them a poor choice for highly visible teeth, dental crowns made of metal can be an ideal option for repairing decayed or damaged back teeth. They are extremely durable and can be applied with less removal of the natural tooth than all porcelain or ceramic crowns. Metal crowns may consist of various materials, including gold alloy, palladium, nickel alloy, or chromium alloy.
