You deserve dental solutions that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we offer metal-free crowns which give you the perfect fusion of functionality and aesthetics and provide you with a restoration that is strong, durable and beautifully natural. We take pride in offering metal-free crowns that allow you to smile confidently, knowing your dental work is virtually invisible.
Why Choose Metal-Free Crowns at Dental Wellness of Lexington?
Your smile is a reflection of who you are, and metal-free crowns preserve your natural beauty without compromising strength or effectiveness. Crafted from advanced porcelain and ceramic materials, these crowns mirror the look and feel of your natural enamel, offering a lifelike translucency that metal crowns can’t achieve.
Perfect Aesthetic Match: Metal-free crowns are custom-colored and shaped to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth to make them indistinguishable.
Biocompatible and Safe: These crowns are an ideal choice for those with metal allergies or sensitivities, as they are crafted from materials that are gentle on your body.
Durability and Strength: While providing aesthetic benefits, metal-free crowns are robust enough to withstand the pressures of everyday chewing.
What Is The Process To Get A Metal-Free Crown?
During your initial consultation, our dentists, Dr. Maxie Combs, Dr. Carol Wilson Maddox or Dr. Amita Patel, will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your desired outcomes. We use state-of-the-art imaging to plan a crown that fits your tooth perfectly and harmonizes with your natural smile.
Metal-free crowns are designed over two visits. During the first, any decay is treated and your tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. We take impressions to create a crown customized just for you. Once your crown is ready, it is securely placed, restoring functionality and beauty to your smile.
Many patients have experienced significant improvements in their confidence and quality of life with metal-free crowns. One patient shared, “After having a metal-free crown fitted, I felt renewed and confident in my smile. The process was so smooth thanks to the friendly staff and expert care I received.”
We Picture A World Where We Laugh Together
Metal-free crowns are dental restorations made entirely from porcelain or ceramic materials. They are designed to match the natural translucence and color of your existing teeth to provide a beautiful and natural appearance. These crowns are free from metals, making them an excellent choice for patients with metal allergies or those seeking a purely aesthetic solution.
Absolutely. While looking beautifully natural, metal-free crowns offer comparable strength and durability to traditional metal crowns. They are crafted from high-quality materials that can withstand the everyday pressures of biting and chewing.
Metal-free crowns are suitable for many dental scenarios, including restoring teeth that are cracked, broken, discolored or worn down. If you have a metal allergy or simply prefer the aesthetic of a tooth-colored restoration, metal-free crowns could be the right choice for you. A consultation at our Lexington office will help determine the best fit for your dental needs.
With proper care, metal-free crowns can last many years, typically 10 to 15 years or more. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups can extend the lifespan of your crown.
Taking care of your crown involves the same practices as caring for your natural teeth: brush twice daily, floss regularly and attend routine dental checkups. Avoid biting down on hard objects and try to limit foods and drinks that could stain your teeth. Wearing a mouthguard during sports and a nightguard if you grind your teeth can also protect your crown.
These crowns are typically made from porcelain, ceramic or zirconia. These materials are chosen for their strength and aesthetic qualities, as they closely mimic the look of natural tooth enamel.
