Step‑by‑Step: Zirconia Crowns & Metal‑Free Bridges in Tijuana
At Dental Care Mexico, we restore smiles with zirconia crowns and metal‑free bridges using digital CAD/CAM. Most cases finish in 2–3 days, whether you need a single front tooth cap, a molar crown, or a 3‑unit bridge to replace a missing tooth (pontic).
Step 1 — Virtual Evaluation (video call)
Meet your cosmetic dentist online to review photos, symptoms, and goals. We explain the crown procedure vs. tooth bridge options (e.g., Maryland bridge, cantilever bridge dental, implant‑supported bridge) and discuss crown materials for teeth (zirconia/ceramic). You’ll receive a clear estimate and a plan tailored to your case—no hidden fees, no pressure.
Step 2 — Arrival & Diagnostics
In clinic, we perform a complete exam, take X‑rays, and a digital intraoral scan for precise design. Shade selection is done with VITA/Ivoclar to match natural enamel—ideal for front crowns or porcelain caps on teeth where aesthetics matter most. If your plan includes dental implants and bridges, we verify abutments and bite so your bridge work teeth lasts.
Step 3 — Minimal Prep & Digital Impressions
Only when necessary, we do minimal tooth preparation to preserve enamel before creating new crowns or abutments for a three unit bridge. We then capture high‑accuracy digital impressions—faster and cleaner than putty—to guide the teeth crown procedure with CAD/CAM precision. You’ll leave this visit with well‑fitting temporary tooth cap or temporary bridge dental so you can chew and smile comfortably.
Step 4 — CAD/CAM Design, Milling & Characterization
Our lab designs your ceramic dental crown or metal‑free bridge (zirconia) for strength, fit, and natural translucency. After milling, the restoration is sintered, glazed, and characterized to match adjacent teeth—crucial for a seamless anterior bridge or ceramic crown tooth. Zirconia avoids the grey line common with metal crown edges and is biocompatible for sensitive gums.
Step 5 — Try‑In & Functional Adjustments
We test the fit, contacts, and occlusion under natural and operatory light, then refine shape and margins. For bridges, we check the pontic teeth design for proper gum contact and easy cleaning (floss threaders/water flossers). Any bite refinements are done chairside so your permanent crown or permanent bridge feels great from day one.
Step 6 — Final Cementation & Smile Finish
Your zirconia crown or tooth bridge is permanently cemented with adhesive protocols designed for durability. We confirm phonetics, smile line, and lip support—key for front crowns and anterior bridge dental cases. If you clench, we provide a protective night guard to safeguard ceramics and prolong longevity.
Step 7 — Aftercare, Warranty & Check‑Ups
You’ll receive care instructions (cleaning under bridges dentistry types, floss aids, and check‑up schedule). We include a 1‑year re‑cementation warranty and recommend a review at 10–12 months to track tissue health and bite. Considering crown replacement or an alternative to crowns later (e.g., implant in a single bridge tooth gap)? We’ll map long‑term options and costs.
