Prosthetics

Crowns and bridges from our own lab.

When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, we restore it with a crown or bridge. Made in our own laboratory in Zurich. You receive a written cost estimate before treatment begins.

How we work.

Own lab in Zurich

Crowns, bridges and veneers are made in our own laboratory. Short distances between treatment and technology, one accountability, fast adjustments.
Material chosen to fit

All-ceramic, zirconia or metal-ceramic, depending on position and load. We discuss the pros and cons before deciding.
Digital impression

Intraoral scan instead of impression material. More comfortable and precise, especially in the posterior region.

What dental prosthetics covers

Prosthetics begins where a filling no longer suffices. When a large part of the tooth is lost, inlays, onlays or crowns are used. When a whole tooth is missing, a bridge or an implant closes the gap. Which solution makes sense depends on the findings, the load and the neighbouring teeth. We explain the options before any decision is made.

Crowns and partial crowns

A crown covers the visible part of the tooth completely and protects it from fracturing. It is the usual restoration after a root canal or for heavily damaged teeth. A partial crown preserves more of the tooth’s own structure and is used when only part of the tooth needs replacing.

Bridges

A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the neighbouring teeth. It is fixed and not removable. Stable abutment teeth are a prerequisite. Where these are missing or should be spared, an implant as a support is the alternative.

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are lab-made ceramic restorations. They replace larger defects more precisely and durably than a direct filling, while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Materials

For tooth-coloured restorations we use all-ceramic and zirconia. Both are metal-free, well tolerated and aesthetic. Metal-ceramic remains a robust option for heavily loaded molars. Which material fits is decided together, based on position, load and your preferences.

Digital impression

Instead of classic impression material, we capture the tooth with an intraoral scanner. This is more comfortable, triggers no gag reflex and delivers a precise digital template for fabrication. The data goes directly into the design.

Prosthetics from our own lab

Crowns, bridges and veneers are made in our own laboratory in Zurich. Treatment and dental technology work together in the same place. This shortens distances, simplifies the matching of shade and shape, and makes adjustments faster than when an external lab sits in between.

Care and durability

Prosthetics last a long time, but only with consistent care. The junction between crown and tooth is the sensitive spot where decay can form. Daily cleaning of the interdental spaces and regular dental hygiene are the best prevention against early replacement.

Protocol

Three steps.

01 · Diagnosis and planning

Examination and X-ray. We clarify what to preserve and what to replace, and you receive a written cost estimate.
02 · Impression and fabrication

Intraoral scan, design and fabrication in our own lab. In the meantime you wear a temporary restoration.
03 · Fitting and check-up

Try-in of fit, bite and shade, then the final placement. A follow-up confirms everything sits correctly.

Frequently asked

Crown, inlay or filling. What is the difference?

A filling restores smaller defects directly in the mouth. When more tooth structure is lost, a lab-made inlay or onlay lasts longer and stronger. If the tooth is largely destroyed or root-treated, a crown protects the whole tooth from fracturing. We decide based on the findings, together with you.

Which material is right?

All-ceramic and zirconia are tooth-coloured and the first choice for visible areas and biocompatibility. Metal-ceramic is very robust and can make sense for heavily loaded molars. We discuss the options based on your situation before deciding.

How long does a crown or bridge last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental hygiene, crowns and bridges last many years, often well over a decade. Healthy gums and an annual check-up are decisive. Decay at the crown margin is the most common reason for early replacement.

What does dental prosthetics cost?

Costs depend on material, number and effort. We bill according to the SSO tariff. Before treatment begins you receive a written cost estimate that you can submit to your supplementary insurance. Basic insurance covers prosthetics only in narrowly defined exceptional cases.

Where is my prosthetic made?

In our own laboratory in Zurich. Dentist and dental technician align shape, shade and bite directly, without the detour via an external lab. This shortens waiting time and makes adjustments easier.
