Dental prosthesis – How is it made of metal-ceramic?

The special metal frame is burned with ceramic cover. This can be a crown or a bridge. Only metal crowns are now no longer produced, only in exceptional cases, for example, from gold.

Nowadays, a fixed prosthesis, which is made by tooth vessel or on implants, should be very precise. You need:

  1. Accurate toothed vessel
  2. Particularly good technique for taking imprints
  3. Precise work of dental technology

At Onix Dental in Sopron, we pay particular attention to the quality of the fixed dentures because a fixed denture is a nice and well-functioning solution in the long term.

How long termed is a fixed prosthesis?

If a fixed prosthesis has been manufactured well, the only problem can be the fatigue of the materials. In most cases this means:

The life expectancy of a fixed prosthesis is about 15-20 years. Usually an exchange is needed because of the change in the existing teeth.
