Crowns & Bridges

Beautify your smile with crowns and bridges. Made with high-quality ceramic for a flawless overall aesthetic.

What are crowns and bridges?

Dental crowns and bridges are common dental procedures that help restore the function and appearance of teeth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged tooth to protect it and improve its strength and appearance.

Ceramic crowns

A crown is a type of dental restoration that sits on top of a damaged tooth. This restores the original form of the tooth, and reproduces the functionality and look of the bite.

When are dental crowns recommended?

High-quality ceramic crowns are recommended in the following situations:

  • Tooth decay
  • Worn-down teeth
  • When teeth need stabilizing, for instance after root canals.
  • When natural teeth need protection
  • When aesthetic corrections are to be made

Ceramic bridges

Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations that are anchored into the bite. They literally ‘bridge’ a gap in your mouth. The teeth to the left and right of the bridge units (pontics) serve to attach the bridge, which restores both form and function to your bite.

When are dental bridges recommended?

Bridges are used for the following indications:

  • Missing teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

Can people tell if you are wearing 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 color and hardness. To the naked eye, they are usually almost indistinguishable from natural teeth.
What are the advantages of ceramics over other materials?

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 discolored, is highly biocompatible, isn’t bacteria-prone and doesn’t conduct cold or heat.

What are ceramic veneers, when are they recommended and how do they differ from crowns?

Veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells that are mainly attached to the front teeth. They correct your teeth, making your smile perfectly harmonious. The color and shape of Profaligner 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 Profaligner 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.
How long do ceramic teeth last?
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 Profaligner, we give you a 10-year guarantee on your ceramic teeth.
