Lasting beauty

In the past, crowns and bridges were traditionally made of porcelain fused to metal (PFM). Now thanks to the development of modern all-ceramics, which are incredibly strong and natural looking, there really is no need to use PFM. And in the world of all-ceramics no-one can match the esthetics, quality, and proven track-record of Procera from Nobel Biocare.

No PFM 'gray lines' ever

With PFM, soft tissue around the tooth can recede, over time, revealing the metal underneath as ugly gray lines. This simply can't happen with Procera because they are metal-free.

Bio-compatible

Procera all-ceramic solutions are completely tissue-friendly. The crown, bridge or veneer (laminate) integrates beautifully with its surroundings, encouraging gum to grow back up to the tooth, as it would naturally. And because they are bio-compatible, there are no allergic reactions, no sensitivity to temperature and no impact on taste.

Perfect fit

Procera solutions are precision-engineered in state of the art production facilities. And they fit so well you will forget they are there.

Perfect match

Procera uses a unique system to subtly match your real tooth's color and translucency so they're almost impossible to tell apart from real teeth.
In some cases, over time, PFM solutions can suffer from gray lines. PFM crown replaced with Procera(R) Crown for lasting beauty with no gray lines - ever.

Zirconium oxide
Zirconium dioxide is a high strength ceramic material, which is used for high-tech applications, e.g. int he aerospace industry. It is a chemical compound of the rare element zirconium and oxygen. Its chemical formula is ZrO2. It is often referred to as zirconium oxide or zircon oxide.

Advantages of zirconium oxide
Low thermal conductivity

No dark gum lines or discoloration of the gingiva
Zirconium oxide has better translucence than metal. The natural effect of the dentures remains the same in a variety of lighting conditions, such as daylight or artificial light.

Why do these dentures look so natural?

The ceramic substructure is coated with a so-called veneering ceramic which is painstakingly built up by the dental technician to match the appearance and shade of the individual patient's natural teeth. The result is a full-ceramic tooth that only an expert can distinguish natural dentition. In order to protect the opposing teeth, the veneering ceramic is softer than the supporting substructure. The substructure itself would be too hard.

The veneering ceramic is supplied as a powder and is mixed with a special liquid and applied with a brush. It comes in a variety of colours. However, these are only intended as an aid to the dental technician, so that he or she knows which material is being used for each layer.
