Benefits of metal-free

inciseTM precision fit ceramic frameworks are made from a biocompatible material called zirconia.

The use of the high performance ceramic zirconia - well proven in medical prostheses such as knee and hip joints - in conjunction with computer technology, is transforming the practice of dentistry.

Metal crowns and bridges have withstood the test of time, but they are associated with unpleasant allergic reactions and even toxicity. Zirconia, however, is a biofriendly material allowing the body to heal at faster rate.

Benefits of a metal-free restoration to you, the patient:

• Less time in the dentist's chair - the inciseTM process includes proven techniques to prepare and model your tooth that help achieve the best possible fitting restoration. The result is a "right first time" fit and minimal time in the dentist's chair for you.
• A metal-free framework beneath the porcelain gives excellent aesthetic qualities to make the final restoration extremely natural looking.
• The light colour of the metal-free zirconia core will not give dark shadows at the gum line, unlike some metal crowns.
• Zirconia is bio-compatible, resulting in healthier gums which won't shrink away from the crown.
• Superior fit around the margin where the natural tooth joins the crown, giving a more natural appearance and increased protection against ingress of tiny bacteria.
• Superior strength from the zirconia framework means even greater longevity of the final restoration.
• A metal-free crown helps to insulate the core of your teeth from hot or cold temperatures in the mouth, reducing the pain of sensitive teeth.
