Dental crowns explained
When dental crowns are the ideal solution
Dental crowns explained
Dental crowns are a fundamental solution in dentistry to restore the structure and appearance of a damaged or weakened tooth. They are used when a tooth is so severely damaged by decay, fracture or wear that a filling alone is not sufficient to maintain its integrity.
A dental crown completely encloses the affected tooth and thus offers comprehensive protection. It not only restores the original shape and size of the tooth, but also improves its function and aesthetics. Crowns are particularly useful for teeth that are subject to heavy loads, such as the back molars, as they distribute the chewing forces well and protect the tooth from further damage.
At our practice near Zurich, we manufacture dental crowns that are precisely tailored to your individual dental needs. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of our prosthodontics specialist Dr. Sebastian Horvath, we can offer you dental crowns that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Whether it's a single tooth repair or a major restoration, our dental crowns offer an optimal solution for restoring your oral health and your radiant smile.

From metal to zirconium
The evolution of materials for dental crowns
From metal to zirconium
The history of dental crowns is a story of constant innovation and improvement. Originally, crowns were made of cast metal, as metal was valued for its durability and resistance. However, metal crowns left much to be desired in terms of esthetics, so the desire for whiter and more natural solutions grew.
Ceramic offered an esthetically pleasing alternative, but was brittle and fragile in its pure form. To overcome this problem, metal crowns began to be veneered with ceramic, but this often led to fractures. These veneering ceramics were often applied by hand, which made them prone to irregularities such as air bubbles and compromised their strength.
The introduction of zirconium oxide as a core material for dental crowns brought new challenges, as the early zirconium oxide was opaque and aesthetically unattractive. However, it enabled a significant improvement in strength. The strength values of veneering ceramics are around 110 MPa, while zirconium oxide has an impressive strength of around 1100 MPa - almost ten times stronger.
Today, we are able to produce fully anatomical, monolithic crowns made of zirconium oxide that are not only extremely stable but also aesthetically pleasing. These modern crowns have overcome the problems of earlier materials and offer a first-class solution that is convincing in terms of function and form. In our practice, we have therefore chosen zirconium oxide as our preferred material in order to offer our patients the best combination of durability, functionality and aesthetics.

The revolution in crown production
From manual veneering to computer-aided fabrication of monolithic restorations
The revolution in crown production
The development of dental crowns has changed considerably in recent decades. In the past, veneering ceramics were the standard in dentistry. They consisted of a metal core covered with a layer of ceramic to achieve a natural appearance. Although this method provided aesthetically pleasing results, veneering ceramics were prone to breakage due to their two-layer structure and the manual application of the ceramic. Air bubbles and irregularities in the ceramic layer often led to weak points that could break under stress.
With the advent of CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, the production of dental crowns has changed fundamentally. Monolithic crowns, made entirely from one piece of ceramic, offer a more robust and durable solution. Not only are these crowns more resistant to fractures, but they are also aesthetically pleasing as modern ceramic materials, such as advanced zirconia, offer natural translucency and color variety.
The strength of monolithic crowns is impressive - studies have shown that the strength of monolithic zirconia is up to ten times higher than that of conventional veneering ceramics. In addition, CAD/CAM technology allows for more precise and faster production of these crowns, ensuring a perfect fit and a high degree of customization.
Due to these advantages, we have decided to use monolithic crowns in our practice. They offer our patients a long-lasting, esthetic and functionally superior alternative to conventional veneering ceramics. With these advanced materials and technologies, we are able to offer you the best possible dental care.

Inlays and onlays
Modern, minimally invasive restorations in one session
Inlays and onlays
Inlays and onlays are an advanced, minimally invasive method in dentistry for restoring damaged teeth. They are used to replace the part of a tooth damaged by decay or fracture, with inlays covering the inner area of the tooth surface and onlays extending beyond the occlusal surface.
Unlike conventional fillings, which are made directly in the mouth, inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations. In our state-of-the-art practice, we make them directly on site using the latest CAD/CAM technology. This allows us to replace the exact damaged or unstable area of the tooth while preserving the intact tooth structure as much as possible. This approach promotes the long-term health and stability of the tooth.
One of the biggest advantages of inlays and onlays over conventional fillings is their longevity and aesthetics. Made from tooth-colored materials such as high-quality ceramic, they offer a natural look while being highly resistant to abrasion and discoloration. Thanks to our modern equipment and ongoing investment in the latest technology, we can precisely fit and place inlays and onlays in just one appointment.
At our practice near Zurich, we recommend inlays and onlays as an effective, aesthetically pleasing and tooth-friendly solution for restoring the function and appearance of your teeth. These modern restorations are a prime example of how innovative dentistry uses minimally invasive procedures to achieve optimal results and maximize treatment comfort for our patients.

High-tech in dentistry - revolution in crown production
The manufacture of dental crowns has changed and improved considerably in recent years as a result of technological progress. In particular, the introduction of CAD/CAM technologies (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) has revolutionized the production of dental crowns.
With CAD/CAM, we can produce dental crowns in our practice with the highest precision and speed. The first step in this process is the use of a digital scanner, which replaces the traditional and often unpleasant dental impression. This scanner is used to create an exact digital image of the prepared tooth, which ensures the exact fit of the crown.
The advantages of this technology for our patients are manifold: the treatment time is significantly reduced as we can often complete the crown in just one session. This means less effort and inconvenience for our patients, as only one journey, one anesthetic and one appointment are required. In addition, the precision achieved by CAD/CAM is second to none, resulting in a perfect fit and therefore more comfort and better functionality.
At our practice near Zurich, we attach great importance to ensuring that our patients benefit from these advances. By using the latest technologies, we can offer treatments that are not only efficient, but also comfortable and extremely precise. In this way, we guarantee optimal treatment results that not only meet but exceed our patients' expectations.

The science of holding
How dental crowns and inlays are fixed
The science of holding
The bonding of crowns, inlays and onlays is a critical step in restorative dentistry that determines the durability and functionality of the restorations. In our practice, we use the adhesive technique, an advanced method to securely and permanently bond restorations to the tooth.
The adhesive technique is based on the principle of micromechanical bonding between the tooth and the restoration. This is achieved by first treating the tooth surface and the inside of the restoration with special bonding agents. These bonding agents consist of monomers that can form chemical bonds with both the tooth and the restorative material.
After surface preparation, a special dental adhesive is applied to create a bond between the tooth and the restoration. This adhesive hardens and forms an extremely strong bond that holds the restoration firmly to the tooth. The adhesion values achieved with this technique are impressive - they often withstand loads equivalent to several times the patient's body weight.
To explain adhesive technology using an illustrative example: Imagine an extremely strong adhesive that bonds two surfaces together in the same way that super glue bonds two objects together almost inseparably. In dentistry, we achieve this strong bond by connecting the tooth and the restoration at a molecular level.
This method allows us to bond restorations that are not only stable and durable, but also aesthetically pleasing and functional. With the adhesive technique, we ensure that your dental crowns, inlays and onlays remain securely in place and give you a natural and comfortable feeling.

Individuelle Risikobewertung
Ihr persönliches Risikoprofil und dessen Einfluss auf Zahnrestaurationen
Individuelle Risikobewertung
In unserer Praxis spielt das individuelle Risikoprofil jedes Patienten eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Planung und Langlebigkeit von Zahnrestaurationen. Bereits beim ersten Termin führen wir eine umfassende Risikoanalyse durch, bei der wir nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand Ihrer Zähne untersuchen, sondern auch die Ursachen möglicher Probleme analysieren.
Dieser individuelle Ansatz ermöglicht es uns, die Wahrscheinlichkeit zukünftiger Probleme besser zu verstehen und entsprechend zu handeln. Wir wissen, dass ein Patient, der wegen Karies eine Krone braucht, ein höheres Risiko für weitere Karies hat, besonders am Rand der Restauration. Ebenso kann ein Patient, der einen Zahn durch hohen Druck gespalten hat, ein erhöhtes Risiko für ähnliche Belastungsprobleme in der Zukunft haben.
Auf der Grundlage dieser Risikoeinschätzung entwickeln wir einen individuellen Behandlungs- und Pflegeplan. Unser Ziel ist es, nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand zu behandeln, sondern auch vorbeugende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um zukünftige Probleme zu vermeiden oder zu minimieren. Wir legen großen Wert darauf, unsere Patienten über ihr individuelles Risikoprofil aufzuklären und sie bei der Pflege ihrer Restaurationen zu unterstützen.
Durch diesen maßgeschneiderten Ansatz können wir die Lebensdauer von Kronen und anderen Restaurationen deutlich erhöhen und gleichzeitig das Risiko zukünftiger Komplikationen verringern. In unserer Praxis sind Sie in erfahrenen Händen, die sich nicht nur um die unmittelbare Behandlung, sondern auch um Ihre langfristige Mundgesundheit und Ihr Wohlbefinden kümmern.

A guide
How to care for your dental crowns properly
A guide
The care of crowns, inlays and onlays is simple and does not require any special measures beyond normal oral hygiene. It is important to understand that these restorations need to be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth to ensure their longevity and functionality.
We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day with an electric toothbrush. Using a toothbrush with soft bristles and a toothpaste containing fluoride helps to effectively remove plaque and strengthen tooth enamel. Fluoride is an important part of dental care as it helps to prevent tooth decay and remineralize tooth enamel.
Daily cleaning of the spaces between the teeth is just as important. Dental floss or special interdental brushes are excellent tools to remove food debris and plaque from these areas that the toothbrush cannot reach. This simple but effective routine helps to prevent gum disease and keep the edges of your restorations clean and healthy.
During regular dental check-ups, we check the condition of your restorations and offer professional cleanings to remove stubborn plaque and maintain the health of your entire oral cavity. By combining good daily oral hygiene at home with regular professional cleanings and check-ups, you can ensure that your dental crowns, inlays and onlays last a long time and maintain their function and aesthetics.
