Service offered as:
At Vita Dental Laboratory, our Crown & Bridge Restorations service is designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of damaged or missing teeth. Leveraging state-of-the-art materials and a blend of digital and manual craftsmanship, we deliver restorations that integrate seamlessly with your patients’ natural dentition. From Monolithic Zirconia to gold inlays, our comprehensive offerings cater to every clinical scenario, ensuring durability, precision, and remarkable esthetics.
Crowns and bridges are fundamental to restorative dentistry when simple fillings are insufficient. Whether your patient presents with extensive caries, fracture, or agenesis, a well-fabricated crown redistributes occlusal forces and protects compromised tooth structure. In bridge cases, the pontic element restores function and preserves arch continuity, preventing alveolar bone resorption and drifting of adjacent teeth. Our goal is to optimize long-term oral health and patient satisfaction.
We offer a spectrum of restorative materials each selected for its unique mechanical and esthetic properties:
Monolithic zirconia is prized for its high fracture resistance and minimal material thickness requirements, allowing for greater preservation of tooth structure. Our multilayered zirconia mimics natural shade gradients from dentin core to translucent incisal edge eliminating the need for additional staining layers. Digital design and milling ensure millimeter-level precision, while hand-finishing refines surface texture and luster.
Lithium disilicate restorations (E.max) offer exceptional translucency and strength (~400 MPa). Their adhesive bonding protocol fosters a hermetic seal, reducing microleakage risks. Whether you need full-coverage crowns or conservative inlays/onlays, our lab’s pressed or CAD/CAM workflows guarantee optimal marginal fit and esthetic integration.
Our PMMA temporaries provide a perfect balance between durability and ease of adjustment. Fabricated via rapid prototyping or milling, they maintain occlusal stability and tissue contours during provisional phases. Clear labeling guides clinicians in chairside adjustments, ensuring a smooth transition to the definitive restoration.
For cases demanding both strength and esthetics, our porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns remain a gold standard. Using high-noble alloys and low-fusing porcelains, we achieve seamless gingival margins and lifelike incisal characteristics. Posterior PFM substructures are optimized for high-load scenarios, while anterior frameworks emphasize translucency and individual characterization.
Gold alloys provide unmatched durability, margin adaptability, and wear compatibility with opposing dentition. Select from high-noble, noble, or base-metal alloys to suit patient preferences and clinical requirements. Our lab adheres to NCCL guidelines for alloy composition and finishing, ensuring both biocompatibility and longevity.
Effective treatment planning often begins with a diagnostic wax-up. We offer both fully digital wax-ups viewable via STL files and printable models and traditional hand-carved wax patterns. These allow you and your patient to preview tooth morphology, occlusal schemes, and esthetic outcomes before any irreversible preparation.
Achieving seamless color integration is critical. Provide high-resolution photograph references with standardized shade tabs, and our technicians will follow a step-by-step protocol: Initial Shade Selection: Analyze value, chroma, and hue under D65 daylight. Translucency & Opalescence Mapping: Determine incisal effects and enamel thickness. Stain & Glaze Application: Hand-characterize surface to mimic natural perikymata and luster.
Compatibility with all major intraoral scanners and design software ensures a fully digital workflow if desired. Submit STL files through our secure portal, and receive preliminary designs within 24 hours. Virtual articulator simulation helps verify occlusion before fabrication.
