Dental knowledge: prosthetics in aesthetic dentistry

Aesthetic dental prosthetics give your restored teeth a natural appearance.

A radiant smile has become a personal calling card. Aesthetic dentistry gives your dentist a broad range of options for correcting the appearance of your teeth to a demanding standard, repairing damage and closing gaps. The latest applications are becoming ever more complex and versatile.

The trend in demanding aesthetic prosthetics is towards metal-free, well-tolerated and biocompatible materials.

Only materials specifically tested for tolerability – metal-free ceramics or metal-free zirconium dioxide, for example – are used to make biocompatible restorations. What matters is that these materials yield a biocompatible, non-allergenic restoration only when they are processed by suitably gentle methods.
