Empress - all porcelain $365 Empress material is made of an extremely homogeneous leucite-based ceramic, which scatters light
like natural enamel and blends in well with its surroundings. Restorations fabricated with the material
exhibit lifelike translucency and a true-to-nature appearance. It demonstrates exceptional light-optical properties and strength values of 160 MPa. The highly aesthetic all-ceramic single tooth restorations, such as crowns and veneers blend in seamlessly with the surrounding dentition.
     
Zirconia $499

Zirconia is a ceramic material that has been used to create substructures in cosmetic dentistry to give crowns and bridges a whiter brighter more translucent quality. Zirconia is 100% biocompatible and is the preferred material for numerous medical applications including strong long-lasting artificial hip joints.Crowns and bridges based on Zirconia are the strongest and most aesthetically translucent restorations available in dentistry today -- up to five times stronger than all-porcelain restorations, nothing looks more like natural teeth.


CROWNS AND BRIDGES
A crown (sometimes called a "cap") is used to restore a tooth that may be in danger of breaking and is often placed on a tooth that has had a root-canal. It covers and protects the entire tooth. A bridge is used when there is a tooth missing. It involves putting a crown on each tooth on either side of the missing tooth, and then a false tooth (or teeth) is suspended between the crowns. A single missing tooth requires a bridge of three units; one is for the missing tooth, which mounts with a crown to each of the neighboring teeth giving three. Generally, if you need a bridge for several missing teeth, the number of units is the missing teeth plus two. If there are multiple missing teeth in the front, we may need an additional two units for proper support.

At Rio Dental, patients can choose from porcelain fused to base metal, high noble XP, high noble elite II, ceramic empress or zirconia.. All Ceramic crowns/bridges are the best cosmetic crowns and are appropriate for teeth in the front, and visible in your smile.

VENEERS
Porcelain veneers, or porcelain laminates, are wafer-thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of teeth so to make a cosmetic improvement. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned.
