Ceramic Crown Full Rehab

Years of patchwork left his teeth with a myriad of composite bonding and cavities. In addition, there were indications of severe grinding and wear. We chose to restore this case with Captek - a revolutionary 22k gold substructure that masks the dark areas while providing a base for very esthetic porcelain work. There are no black margins with captek and it is very healthy for the gums. They are also very strong and able to resist grinding and clenching. We also used a special low-wear porcelain to protect the lower teeth from grinding.
The dark shadows are cavities underneath the failing fillings. Note the wear on the edges of the teeth indicating grinding. Captek crowns give us the chance to use a very strong material with nice looks. It is great for grinders and eliminates black edges of traditional crowns. Captek is perfect for cases where all porcelain crowns are contraindicated.
Teeth are square and masculine and fit his profile well. The crowns were planned using Biotemps - a key to making cases come out the way we want.
