Alternatives to crown lengthening include the use of dental crowns, metal alloys or gold crowns, and same-day crowns. Each of these alternatives offers unique advantages and can be used in different dental situations.
-
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, and are custom-made to fit over the natural tooth. They 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.
-
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.
-
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, allowing 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.
In summary, alternatives to crown lengthening include dental crowns, metal alloys or gold crowns, and same-day crowns. Each of these alternatives offers unique advantages and can be used in different dental situations, depending on the patient's needs and preferences.
