Dental Crowns

Rocky Mountain Dental Labs can fulfill all or your crown and bridge needs.

Types of Materials We Use:

• Zirconia: Our full Contour full strength Zirconia is a monolithic solid zirconia crown or bridge restoration with no porcelain overlay. It is a great alternative to posterior metal occlusal PFMs and full-cast metal restoration. With a flexural strength of over 1000 mPA, our full strength Zirconia offers durability of a gold crown with esthetics nearing porcelain.
  • Features:
    • Chip-resistant
    • Smooth surface reduces plaque accumulations
    • Designed and Milled using CAD/CAM technology
    • Ideal for bridges and crowns, implant restorations, and areas with limited occlusal space.
    • Fabricated using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technologies ensuring superior marginal fit.
  • Cementation:
    • Resin Cements for short or over tapered preparationgs

• IPS e.max: IPS E.Max is among the most aesthetic all ceramic restoration available. Ideally suited for veneers, inlays and onlays due to its glass composition, Emax can be acid etched and bonded into place allowing for a very strong and resilient restoration.
  • Features:
    • As a lithium discilicate glass-ceramic, E.Max offers optimized homogeneity and strength in addition to excellent marginal fit
    • Like Empress, IPS E.Max allows for highly personalized predictable shade results and mechanical stability

• Pfm: Available with your choice of alloy – non-precious, semi-precious, white and yellow high noble – our porcelain-fused-to metal restorations merge the strength of a cast substructure with the artisanal stacked porcelain. A classic restorative option, we still produce PFMs with the eye for aesthetics necessary when dealing with porcelain.
