Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth belong to the high-end segment, featuring fluorescence properties similar to real teeth to bring perfect beauty to every restoration. So, what is the cost of this porcelain line? In which cases should you get Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth? Let’s find out the details with AVORA Dental in the following article!
What are Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth? Are they good?
Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth are products researched and manufactured by the famous 3M corporation from the USA. By integrating fluorescent properties directly into the porcelain block, Lava Esthetic teeth possess a natural color from the core to the incisal edges. Furthermore, because they do not have to undergo dyeing, drying, or color processing stages, the porcelain tooth fabrication process happens more quickly.
With a 100% pure porcelain structure, from the internal framework to the aesthetic porcelain enamel layer outside, Lava Esthetic ensures safety, biocompatibility, and easy compatibility with the oral environment, without causing any reactions or allergies.
Thanks to the application of modern Nano fabrication technology combined with CAD/CAM techniques, Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth models are created with very high durability and better pressure resistance compared to many other types of porcelain teeth on the market. This helps customers feel comfortable with chewing and daily activities, minimizing the risk of chipping or breaking when consuming hard foods.
Are Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth good?
Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth are highly rated for their quality and aesthetics. This is a porcelain line that dental experts recommend for both customers who want porcelain veneers and crowns due to the following advantages:
-
Applicable in many cases: Lava Esthetic porcelain material is used for various restoration requirements such as single porcelain crowns, porcelain crowns on dental implants, porcelain bridges, inlays/onlays, and porcelain veneers.
-
High aesthetics: As one of the all-porcelain types made of pure porcelain without metal components, Lava porcelain teeth do not cause blackening of the gum line. The teeth have a glossy transparency, natural brightness, colors like real teeth, and good stain resistance.
-
Good durability: Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth have a pressure resistance of up to 200 Mpa, many times higher than real teeth, ensuring good chewing function.
-
Long lifespan, hygiene safety: For restoration cases, Lava porcelain teeth are difficult to oxidize or cause gum darkening. A Lava porcelain tooth can have a lifespan of up to 20 years if quality and home care are ensured.
Cases where Lava Esthetic porcelain teeth should be used
Porcelain crowning is a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. The birth of this method is a “lifesaver” for cases of tooth defects, helping patients feel more confident in life. Below are the cases where Lava Esthetic porcelain crowns can be applied:
-
Chipped, cracked, or severely damaged teeth where filling cannot be applied. Porcelain crowning in this case can provide a comprehensive fix, ensuring long-lasting durability while avoiding the peeling situation of conventional filling techniques.
-
Yellowed teeth or teeth stained by antibiotics where teeth whitening cannot be applied or whitening is ineffective. You can apply porcelain crowning in this case to ensure aesthetics.
-
Teeth with pulp death that are easily broken. Applying Lava Esthetic crowns in this case will help protect the real tooth stump and ensure chewing function.
-
Additionally, when a tooth is lost and only the root remains, you can also get a porcelain crown to maintain aesthetics and create firmness for the jaw.
Medical-standard cosmetic porcelain crowning process at AVORA Dental
Porcelain crowning not only helps you have a radiant smile but also helps the teeth maintain good chewing function. To ensure effectiveness and safety, the porcelain crowning process needs to follow the correct sequence and complete all steps. If performed in the wrong order or if any step is skipped, the final result may not be as expected.
Step 1. Examination (X-ray) and treatment planning
Examination and planning a suitable treatment is the first step in the porcelain crowning process that you cannot skip. First, the doctor will check your current health and oral status. If problems like gingivitis or periodontitis are detected, the doctor will treat them before starting the porcelain crowning.
Step 2. Oral hygiene and cavity disinfection
Before proceeding with the crowning, cleaning and disinfecting the oral cavity not only helps remove harmful bacteria but also prepares the tooth surface. This helps the crowning process go smoothly and ensures the final result achieves the highest aesthetics.
Step 3. Anesthesia and tooth preparation (grinding) for impressions
In the area where the crown is needed, the doctor injects anesthesia so the patient does not feel pain throughout the treatment. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the doctor proceeds to grind the tooth into stumps sufficient to attach the porcelain crown on top. The real tooth part will be thinned to a certain thickness suitable for the tooth condition and the purpose of the crown.
Step 4. Taking impressions to send to AVORA Dental’s Lab and attaching temporary teeth
After grinding, the doctor will take impressions and send them to the Lab at AVORA Dental to fabricate porcelain teeth suitable for your jaw. While waiting for the porcelain teeth, the patient can have temporary teeth attached to fill the gaps and protect the tooth stumps.
Step 5. Fixing the permanent porcelain crowns
After placing the porcelain crown on the real tooth, the doctor will carefully check the bite and aesthetics to ensure comfort and durability. Additionally, the doctor will schedule a follow-up visit to ensure your porcelain teeth are used effectively and will handle any issues promptly if needed.
Step 6. Care instructions and follow-up scheduling
After completing the crown placement, the doctor will provide instructions on oral care. This includes daily hygiene, choosing a brush, and using floss to clean under the crown. You will also be guided on how to avoid bad habits that could damage or affect the porcelain teeth.
Periodic follow-ups are extremely important to ensure that your porcelain teeth are always stable and your oral health is maintained.
