Modern dentistry continues to make remarkable advances, offering superior aesthetic solutions. Among them, Cercon dental crowns have become a popular and widely preferred choice because of their precision and outstanding effectiveness. Cercon crowns not only provide a natural appearance but also offer remarkable strength and durability. This article provides comprehensive information about their origin, the different types of Cercon crowns, and their advantages.
Cercon dental crowns are restorations manufactured using CAD/CAM technology, which stands for Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing. They are made from high-quality dental materials such as zirconia, also known as zirconium dioxide.
Cercon crowns can reproduce the shape, color, and gloss of natural teeth. In addition, Cercon crowns provide greater load-bearing capacity than some other types of dental crowns, helping improve the durability and lifespan of the restorations.
With outstanding advantages in terms of aesthetics and durability, Cercon crowns are increasingly used in dentistry to restore natural teeth and improve the smiles of many people.
Cercon crowns can reproduce the shape, color, and gloss of natural teeth.
Cercon crowns originate from Germany and are manufactured using some of the most advanced technology currently available, with precise production methods and optimal performance. As a result, these crowns are highly regarded for their aesthetic appearance and refinement.
Cercon crowns consist of two main components: an inner zirconia framework and an outer layer of Cercon Kiss veneering ceramic. The crowns are fired at a high temperature for several hours, at approximately 1,300°C, to create a strong bond with the inner framework.
The durable dual-layer structure, which combines two specialized materials, creates a premium dental crown. Cercon crowns effectively overcome several disadvantages of metal-ceramic crowns, providing a more natural color, maintaining their shade over time, and preventing dark lines from appearing along the gum margin.
Dentists commonly recommend Cercon crowns for the following cases:
Cercon crowns are made from durable zirconia and are suitable for people with weak teeth.
Cercon dental crowns are divided into two types: Cercon HT and Cercon Zirconia.
Cercon HT, which stands for High Translucency, is a type of Cercon crown with a translucent color similar to that of natural teeth. The zirconia used in Cercon HT crowns provides better light transmission, creating highly aesthetic results that resemble natural teeth, particularly when viewed under natural light.
Cercon HT crowns are commonly used in cases requiring high aesthetic quality and are suitable for people who want a natural and attractive smile.
Cercon HT crowns have a translucent color similar to natural teeth.
Cercon Zirconia crowns provide excellent strength and resistance to biting forces, helping create durable restorations with an extended lifespan. The zirconia material used in Cercon Zirconia crowns has outstanding mechanical properties, helping prevent the restorations from fracturing or becoming damaged during use.
Cercon Zirconia crowns are used in dental cases requiring high durability and resistance to wear. They are particularly suitable for people with weak teeth or those requiring tooth restoration after undergoing dental surgery.
Cercon Zirconia crowns provide excellent strength and resistance to biting forces.
High aesthetic quality, excellent durability, and oral health safety are the main advantages of Cercon crowns. The following are the specific benefits of using Cercon dental crowns:
Cercon crowns are made from zirconia, which provides effective light transmission and creates restorations that closely resemble natural teeth and match the color of the surrounding teeth.
Dentists can optimally customize the color and shape of the crowns, creating an attractive, bright, and impressive smile.
Zirconia, the primary material used in Cercon crowns, has outstanding mechanical properties and excellent resistance to biting forces, giving Cercon crowns greater strength and durability than some other types of dental crowns.
Because of their high load-bearing capacity, Cercon crowns are less likely to become damaged or fractured during use, helping maintain the long-term lifespan of the restorations.
Because Cercon crowns do not contain metal, they minimize the risk of irritation caused by metal exposure. The zirconia used in these crowns does not cause chemical interactions within the oral environment, helping prevent gum irritation and reduce the risk of gum problems during use.
Cercon dental crowns are safe, strong, and durable.
At Kangnam Hospital, the Cercon crown procedure follows a medically standardized treatment protocol to ensure hygiene, safety, and long-lasting effectiveness. The following are the steps involved in the dental crown procedure at Kangnam:
The dentist examines the patient’s oral health and listens to their needs. If the patient has dental conditions such as pulpitis or tooth decay, the dentist will recommend treating these conditions before placing the crowns.
If the patient is eligible for dental crowns, the dentist will provide a detailed consultation regarding the tooth shape and color to ensure that the results meet the patient’s expectations.
Before placing the dental crowns, the dentist thoroughly cleans the patient’s mouth, eliminates bacteria, and removes deposits from the teeth. The dentist then administers local anesthesia to reduce discomfort before continuing the procedure.
To prepare for crown placement, the dentist needs to reduce the natural tooth structure to create sufficient space for the crown. The tooth preparation process is not painful, and the patient only experiences mild numbness in the treated teeth.
At Kangnam Hospital, dentists have extensive professional expertise and experience in this field, ensuring that tooth preparation is performed gently and comfortably.
The dentist takes impressions of the natural teeth using silicone material to create the most accurate dental model possible. Temporary restorations are then placed on the prepared teeth to protect them and maintain chewing function while the permanent crowns are being manufactured.
Once the Cercon crowns have been completed and delivered to the hospital, the dentist removes the previously fitted temporary restorations and places the appropriate crowns over the natural teeth.
The crowns are fitted and adjusted to suit the dental arch, lip shape, and individual dental characteristics, ensuring a natural appearance and effective dental function.
After fitting the dental crowns, the dentist carefully examines them and makes adjustments if necessary to ensure comfort and stability.
The dentist instructs the patient on how to care for the dental crowns at home to maintain their durability and aesthetic appearance during use.
The Cercon crown procedure at Kangnam is performed safely and effectively.
Although Cercon crowns offer several important advantages, they also have some limitations:
At Kangnam Hospital, Cercon crowns cost between $228 and $342, depending on the specific crown type and dental restoration technology used. This price covers the entire dental crown procedure. If the patient has an existing dental condition or another oral health problem, additional treatment costs may apply.
With their excellent aesthetics, high durability, and superior resistance to biting forces, Cercon crowns have established themselves as a leading dental solution on the market. They represent a major advancement in smile restoration and help improve people’s quality of life.
