When it comes to dental treatments, crown lengthening is often considered. However, there are alternatives that can be just as effective. These alternatives offer unique advantages and can be used in different dental situations.
What are the alternatives to crown lengthening? 3 Key Options Explained
1. Dental crowns
Dental crowns are a common alternative to crown lengthening.
They are used to protect and restore the functionality of damaged or weakened teeth.
Crowns can be made from various materials, such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys.
They are custom-made to fit over the natural tooth.
Crowns can be used for various purposes, such as replacing a missing tooth, restoring a tooth after major repairs, or improving the aesthetic appearance of a person's smile.
2. Metal alloys or gold crowns
Metal alloys, including gold, platinum, and base-metal alloys, are another alternative to crown lengthening.
These materials are durable and can withstand biting and chewing forces.
They are particularly suitable for hidden molars, as they require minimal tooth preparation and have a thin layer of enamel removal.
However, they can be expensive and have a bright metallic appearance that may not blend well with other teeth.
3. Same-day crowns
The innovative high-speed sintering process enables dental practices and laboratories to offer same-day crowns as an alternative to crown lengthening.
This process significantly reduces the time required for the fabrication of single-tooth crowns and three-pontic bridges.
It allows them to be completed in just one day.
The High-Speed Zirconia Kit also enables the fabrication of implant restorations, such as a zirconia abutment and a crown, in less than 24 hours, compared to the previous two-day requirement.
