PFM
Porcelain fused to metal crown (PFM) is a full cast crown that is constructed by fusing the porcelain to all or most of the metal surfaces. It can be matched to the shade of the neighbouring teeth but lacks the aesthetic translucency of the metal-free ceramic crowns. They are subject to wear and tear but look like natural tooth and are durable
Zirconia
Zirconium is rapidly becoming the material of choice for dental crowns. It is a very strong material able to withstand the wear and tear of every day use. Aesthetically, it is translucent very similar to a natural tooth, reflecting light in much the same way. This means that Zirconium, Zirconia has a very aesthetic effect, which may be important if your new crowns are to be at the front of your mouth and is particularly relevant in cases where the crowns will be seen beside natural teeth. We offer the very best in Zirconia metal free restorations. Frameworks that are thin and translucent ensuring a natural and vital appearance.
Gold Restorations
Precious gold or non precious gold to fabricate full metal crowns, inlays and onlays. There is certainly still a market for full gold restorations and our metal technicians revel in creating the morphology and fit. Whilst some patients may prefer the look of full gold restorations they also have long term durability making them a great candidate for posterior restorations.
Whitening Trays

This crown is made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic: this is a top grade material which has been harvested for its toughness, durability and opaque qualities which makes it a highly prized crown. You get a glass ceramic crown which is tough and enduring but delicate.

Diagnostic Wax Ups
A dental diagnostic wax-up is a planning procedure used by your restorative dentist, to help communicate valuable information to the patient, laboratory, or other dental specialists. One of the advantages of having a wax-up of what you want the final results to look like is for a better understanding during your preparation appointment. By comparing the diagnostic models and the diagnostic wax-ups, a dentist can better visualise the requirements of tooth reduction.
Articulated Study Models
