The Crown and Bridge department here at TLC is second-to-none. We have the expertise to complete any case, from a single restoration, complex full mouth reconstructions and implant cases. We specialize in All-Ceramic restorations such as Zirconia, Alumina and Pressable ceramics. Below you will find a short description of the materials that we use.

Zirconia ‘Ceramic Steel’ has strength of over 950MPA which allows for production of all-ceramic crowns and bridges of any length not to exceed 2 pontics spans. Applied with Vita VM9 porcelain you will achieve the pinnacle in both strength and aesthetics.

Vita PM9 pressable ceramics, this is the perfect material for single unit anterior crowns, posterior inlays/onlays with opaque, translucent and ultra translucent ingots. This material allows you to either use the layering or the staining technique to achieve the utmost in aesthetics.

Alumina, one of the first all-ceramic materials, this highly aesthetic core material layered with VM7 porcelain produces extremely beautiful restorations, just ask the over 1 million patients world wide what they think of their alumina restorations.

With Vita VMK Master metal ceramic you will achieve the utmost in aesthetics. With it’s perfect wear compatibility with natural dentition and it’s ability to adhere to many metal substructures (precious, semi-precious and non-precious) and it’s vast professional porcelain colours and nuances you can rest assured you will receive the perfect aesthetic restoration.

At TLC we fabricate only the highest quality fixed and removable implant restorations with many different implant manufactures to choose from, please get in contact with the laboratory for more information.

 

Vita light cured composite (VM LC) is used by both the crown/bridge and denture departments. This material is highly aesthetic and can be layered with multiple colours, internal stains, and can be used on metal, free standing for veneers, inlays and can be used to modify denture teeth to create perfection in custom dentures.

 

Vita prides itself on being the world expert in shade determination. They are so good at it, every dental product manufacturer uses the Vita classical shade system. Now there is the Vita 3D Master shade system which has just improved the way we take shades.

Here at TLC when we take a custom shade we use a three-phase system, we use an electronic shade taking device (Vita Easyshade), we take a manual shade 3D Master to verify the electronic shade diagnosis, we use Vita specialty shade tabs for specific colours and we finally take digital photos.
