Stump insertion belongs to microprosthetics. It is used in cases when the tooth is either completely destroyed or it cannot bear a crown. Your dentist will do the following: he will make a canal and place a post in it. The post will be made by a dental mechanic in a lab.

It is possible to make
ceramic crowns without any metal frame. In this case the dentist will offer you a transparent base made of special ceramics. Modern technologies in combination with this special ceramics can solve all problems with teeth. Even you will hardly know your natural
teeth from ceramic crowns.
Metal-ceramic dental crowns are used in cases when the tooth is severely damaged and it is necessary to make a safe construction for the rest of the tooth. This construction can be made only of a solid but light frame made of special materials and alloys. Your dentist will make a cast cap for the tooth to prepare it for implantation. The distance between the dental recess and the metal cap is less than several dozens of microns. The next thing your dentist will have to do is to make the tooth. He should consider peculiarities of all adjacent teeth and jaw structure.
This method is one of the most rapidly developing ways to restore lost teeth. Actually this method presupposes that the lost part of the tooth will be made of a different material usually ceramics. Ceramics is a unique material used to
restore teeth. It has all advantages of natural teeth transparency, naturalness. They will preserve the shape of your natural teeth. The dentist will use a special gel for fixation. Even a specialist can hardly know a natural tooth from a ceramic inlay.
Telescopic crowns are a kind of detachable dental prosthesis. In this case the prosthesis is fixed on teeth with the help of a crown. The crown consists of 2 parts. The upper part is a crown made of ceramic metal. It performs an aesthetic function. The bottom part adjusted to the jawbone is a metal cap with even sides. The whole system can be compared with a television antenna. When squeezed, the crown is firmly pressed to the metal cap and it secures perfect fixation.
Many people are prejudiced against detachable prosthetics. But even despite that this way to restore lost teeth remains one of the most widespread. It has a wide range of indications. It can be contraindicated only in a very limited number of cases. Moreover, this method of
dental prosthetics is rather available and affordable.
