All ceramic

In achieving the ultimate, natural-looking, high cosmetic dental restoration we mimic as closely as possible the composition of a natural tooth.

This process means the removal of any metal from within the build. There are many all-ceramic options available, from fully bondable Lucite and Lithium Disilicate reinforced pressed or milled ceramics to high-strength, shade-matched CADCAM monolithic made from Yttrium Stabilized Tetragonal Multi-Density Super-translucent Zirconias with incredible strength (900-1100mpa).

Applications of All Ceramic crowns, bridges and veneer services from Ambridge Ceramics:

  • Fully monolithic translucent zirconia crowns, bridges and veneers, all can have opaquer layer applied for covering discolorations of all underlying materials
  • Pressed ceramic crown cutback and layered (covers mildly discoloured preps at 1mm minimum thickness, can develop 2 shade adjustments e.g. A3 change to A1)
  • Layered build on high opacity nucleus (covers everything, metal, amalgam, darkest preps, not ideal for veneers due to thickness)
  • Monolithic pressed ceramic stained and glazed (covers mildly discoloured preps at 1mm minimum thickness, can develop 2 shade adjustments e.g. A3 change to A1)

Hybrid ceramics

Ambridge Ceramics work with all hybrid-ceramic materials for example these two popular brands; Vita Enamic and GC Cerasmart.

Vita Enamic is a hybrid ceramic CADCAM material which allows us to provide a beautiful monolithic crown or veneer however relies on the natural tooth for translucency, making it more suitable for canine and premolar cases. This material is not only very strong, it is engineered to absorb the shock from the opposing dentition, making it an ideal restorative material to place upon implant structures and occlusally increased OVD cases.

GC CeraSmart boasts unprecedented opportunities for some clinical situations:

  • Being capable of absorbing shocks, CeraSmart is perfectly suited to challenging occlusal situations
  • Its sharp adaptation and resistance to chipping ensure a long-lasting marginal seal
  • Its balanced surface hardness will be especially beneficial in reducing the wear of the opposing dentition, while also ensuring a long lasting gloss of the restoration
  • Efficient milling process with a short milling time and enhanced service life of milling tools
  • Excellent polishability displaying an impressive gloss after a short polishing time
  • Easy characterisation using Optiglaze Color, in just a few moments

All gold

Gold and gold alloys are one of the oldest restoration materials used in dentistry and it is still widely prescribed and often requested. In fact, the Ambridge Ceramics team have been preparing all gold crowns for more than 35 years.

Gold has the unrivalled benefit of being anti-bacterial, highly polishable and kind to the opposing teeth. Modern gold is mixed with other metal alloys to increase its strength, which makes it very hardwearing, providing that all-important peace of mind in the restorations you provide for your patients.

Our gold crowns can be made silver or gold in colour.

CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM in dentistry is a field of prosthodontics using Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD & CAM) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations. This includes removable dental prostheses, crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays in fact all dental implant restorations.

Ambridge Ceramics have invested comprehensively in CADCAM capability and can accept intraoral scans from any manufacturers source. We also have the software to reliably manufacture prostheses model free.

Our laboratory runs the latest CADCAM systems, from 3Shape’s Dental Designer with 3Shapes E4 and D2000 twin camera Scanners coupled to Roland DWX 52dc and CEREC MCX5 5-Axis milling with in-lab 20 design software. This allows us to cover all aspects of restorative dentistry, implant abutments, milled bars in titanium, chrome, zirconia and the new high-performance polymers, all backed up with reliable case planning for complex combination cases.
