Six unit, anterior upper bonded bridge
to correct partial anodontia of
the patients laterals.

Sometimes you just have to look ,to be sure,
which is the crown !

Six unit upper left bonded bridge.
Balanced occlusion was achieved by
using a Pantograph machine.

Notice the wonderful condition of the tissue
around the fitting area and the perfect
shade match (Omega).

Ceramics:
We specialise in bonded ceramics and metal free ceramics.

We combine the latest scientifically proven techniques and materials with genuine craftsmanship, producing natural and cosmetically pleasing results indistinguishable from the original.

Matching individual crowns or constructing full arch restorations; we consider this to be part of our daily routine.

Third generation porcelains used: Omega 900, Alpha-Inceram. These porcelains have been developed to be predictable to use and to conform to the oral environment in aesthetics and function .We have enjoyed the experience of using them with some spectacular results.

Vita Omega: The wide spectrum of porcelains was developed on the basis of natural nuances. Omega porcelains demonstrates light reflection properties similar to those of an opal. This phenomenon of opalescence can also be seen in an Omega ceramic veneer and the effect can be controlled to individual requirements. Transluscency is achieved without any darkening from the background of the oral cavity.
The light absorption and reflection of Omega Metal Ceramic Porcelain produces the extraordinary adaptability known as the "chameleon effect" This means restorations adapt harmoniously to their environment

Metalfree restorations include the following materials and systems:
In-ceram bridge, single units veneers, inlays and on lays. The infiltration ceramics (in-ceram) technology represents the first serious alternative to metal ceramic restorations. The clinical attraction of this material is based on the improved strength in comparison with conventional all-ceramic material technologies. The improved aesthetics are remarkable with the total elimination of potential defects in metal-ceramic restorations such as, exposed metal rims, unfavourable light transmission due to thinness of porcelain coverage, retraction of the gingiva, casual factors for periodontal inflammations, defects in joints between alloy and ceramics, metal intolerance etc.

Artglas single crowns, bridges veneers and inlays/onlays:
An alternative to ceramics, artglass represents a new category of restorative materials- the Polyglas, combining the benefits of porcelains and composites. Unlike traditional composites, Artglas contains a new filler material which contributes significantly to its durability and excellent wear resistance. Artglas contains 50% microfine glass particles which gives it a quality akin to porcelain when bonded to metal. The material wears at a rate very close to the natural dentition. The colour density is excellent and very lifelike aesthetics can be achieved.
We especially recommend Artglas for inlays and onlays.

On all restorations, where applicable, you would expect the mode of fabrication and procedure as standard:-
Cast pindex models and opposing. Both duplicated for final fit, contacts and occlusion. Checks before leaving laboratory.

Cast copings in gold or precious alloy.

Inclusion of patients individual character and shade prescription details into porcelain in an incremental or layered technique using the latest third generation porcelains.

Porcelain "Butt margins" or gold buccal margins posteriorly.

Gold plating on all polished surfaces.

Pumice glaze, rubber wheel and diamond polishing with attention to lustre and texture.

All work presented on articulators, Dena'r when requested, attention given to canine guidance, occlusion stops etc., once articulated on supplied registration.

Relevant construction method and porcelain used recorded for next time.
