bestsmile crowns & bridges A beautiful smile with ceramic teeth

Ceramic crowns and bridges are fitted to your teeth and are therefore hardly noticeable. To produce them, we use high-quality ceramic, which closely resembles natural tooth enamel in colour and hardness. To the naked eye, they are usually almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Ceramics offer many advantages over other materials in aesthetic restorative dentistry. For many people, the main factor is the excellent aesthetics with which ceramics adjust and beautify their smile.

Ceramic teeth are also an ideal solution from a medical point of view. The material doesn’t become discoloured, is highly biocompatible, isn’t bacteria-prone and doesn’t conduct cold or heat.

Veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells that are mainly attached to the front teeth. They correct your teeth, making your smile perfectly harmonious. The colour and shape of bestsmile Veneers can be adapted and produced precisely according to your wishes. In just a short time, these ceramic shells will transform your smile.

Your dentist will decide whether crowns or bestsmile Veneers are more appropriate based on the condition of your natural teeth and where the damage is located (front or back teeth).

Generally, veneers and crowns differ with regard to the removal of tooth enamel and the area of application:

• Removal of tooth enamel: usually only a minimal amount of tooth substance is removed for veneers, while crowns require slightly more to be sanded away due to their thicker walls.
• Area of application: Veneers cannot be used if teeth are heavily damaged or have experienced too much decay. Crowns are also more suitable than veneers for the chewing surface of the back teeth. Molars are exposed to more pressure from chewing, which crowns can cope with well.

The lifespan of ceramic teeth very much depends on your oral hygiene. It’s very important to keep your so-called ‘periodontium’ healthy by brushing your teeth regularly and cleaning between your teeth as well. This also has a positive effect on how long ceramic teeth last. Ceramic teeth last an average of 15 to 20 years. And with good care, even longer. At bestsmile, we give you a 10-year guarantee on your ceramic teeth.
