Crowns cover an entire tooth. They are made in a large rush of hard tooth tissue, gently covering the remaining tooth tissues and protecting them from further damage.
They are also placed on aesthetic indications such as tooth colouring, irregular shape and position of the tooth in the toothed arc. Crowns are suggested to patients who experience a fractured tooth, to cover a dental implant, a tooth that has had a root canal or to replace a filling when there is not enough tooth left.
With proper care crowns can last a lifetime.
We offer several types of crowns depending on the material from which they are made of:
Zirconium crowns
Zirconium crowns are made of zirconium oxide – a material with high mechanical and chemical stability, which is also used for small bridges and inlays. Zirconia is a type of crystal which is long-lasting and indestructible. Zirconium oxide is density and non-transparency and can only be used in pure form for a correction of back teeth. For front teeth, zirconium-based crowns and aesthetic porcelain coating are preferred.
Plus zirconia crowns have a translucent appearance which means that they are indistinguishable from your own teeth. It is hard to spot a zirconia crown amongst natural teeth. A major advantage of zirconium oxide is its resistance to fractures. In fact, zirconium is five times as strong as porcelain! They are durable, easy to wear and long-lasting. Zirconium oxide is density and non-transparency and can only be used in pure form for a correction of back teeth.
They do not cause allergic reactions.
The price for one zirconium crown is:

Your stay in Bulgaria depends on the number of the crowns your smile needs.
Usually, it takes two visits to the clinic for 4 or 5 crowns to be placed. During the first visit, the tooth is modeled and prepared for the crown to be placed; the dentist takes an imprint and places a temporary crown.
The imprint is sent to the dental technician lab to be manufactured. During the second visit, the dentist removes the temporary crown and places the permanent one and then cements them
Pressed ceramic crowns
The pressed ceramic is produced in a vacuum environment by spraying a molten ceramic mass in pre-fabricated form. The pressed ceramics is used for a maximum sparing therapy of the tooth. With this technology, prosthetic structures with high compressive strength are obtained – the material is pressed with high pressure, so it becomes mechanically strong, almost as hard as titanium.
The whole crown is made of one ceramic block, so it is aesthetic and does not contain a metallic part.Since the tensile strength is not great, the technology is not suitable for making bridges. With press ceramics, constructions with very small thicknesses can be made – even under 0.5 mm for minimal tooth scarring. Due to the lack of any metal, the pressed ceramics offers excellent aesthetics.

Metal-ceramic crowns
Metaloceramic crowns (or metal-ceramic crowns) fall into fixed prosthetics that are consist of a metal base (cap) and ceramics. A combination of high aesthetics, durability and affordable price, metal-ceramic crowns are stronger and more durable than ceramic crowns; they retain their fitness for many years, but at the same time they achieve high aesthetics, which means they can be used to restore front and rear teeth.
The metal fits snugly against the teeth and provides good protection. The price of metal-ceramic crowns is the lowest compared to the cost of other aesthetic crowns.They are used when a tooth cannot be properly fixed with a traditional filling, or in situations when you need to replace one or more teeth – a metaloceramic bridge.
Ceramic layers are applied over the metal base and the goal is to achieve a natural and aesthethically pleasing look in shape, colour and teeth size.

Blend-ceramic crowns
The blend-ceramic crowns, also called porcelain crowns, are known for their aesthetics and strength. They are metal crowns that have a porcelain finish only on the front surfaces of the teeth, visible in a smile.They are an affordable option, preferred when aesthetics is not a major sought-after effect. They do not differ from the metal-ceramic crowns.
Traditionally, the blends are made of metal and plastic, but as the plastic changes its colour and mechanical properties after a long period of time in the mouth, instead of it, the blend-metal ceramic crowns, which have a slightly higher price, are made instead -esthetic and durable.

Dental Bridges
Are you considering the use of a dental bridge? If yes, maybe you would like to read this. As one of the many restorative options available to replace your missing teeth and as the name implies, the dental bridge is used to ‘bridge’ the gap caused by tooth loss between the teeth.
The construction consists of two or more dental crowns which are located at both ends of the appliance and serve as abutments or anchorage to the healthy adjacent teeth next to the gap and ensure the immobility of the bridge structure, attaching itself to the existing ones. Between them, an average bridging part is made which replaces the missing teeth; it serves as a pontic, or false teeth. The dental bridge construction can be made of different materials, depending on the patient’s wishes and aesthetic and functional requirements.
The modern materials from which the bridge constructions are made are practically eternal. The materials include metals – gold and silver, all porcelain and porcelain fused to metals. The compromise of a bridging structure mostly occurs as a result of gingival withdrawal due to periodontal problems or natural physiological changes in the body.
The most common questions that people ask before to get dental bridges are if the dental bridges are difficult to get used to and how long would the process take; will they change the way of speaking and are they forever. So, one by one. First, like every change in the human body, having dental bridges also need some time for getting used to it.
Getting used to the dental bridge is fast. It is individual for each patient but a minimal adaptation period is necessary. Within one or several days, you will lose the feeling that you have a foreign body in your mouth. Second, with the absence of frontal teeth and restoration with a bridge structure, the articulation is restored and spoken.
Also, restoring the missing teeth makes feeding more comfortable and chewing food better. Regular prophylactic checkups and gum care are a must. This would help to extend the lifespan and proper function of the dental bridge. The optimum period of use of one dental bridge is between 3 and 5 years if a proper oral care and regular prophylaxis occur.
The static bridge construction, known as a dental bridge has advantages and risks of its use. Usually, people want to know what are the risks in order to be sure that this is what they want. Like, the bad news over the good ones. You should know that there is a reduction of the structures of natural healthy teeth to accommodate the appliance in place and an ill-fitting bridge can cause decay of the tooth under the crown.
If the supporting teeth are not strong enough, the restoration can collapse. In comparison with the dental implants, in the long run, the dental bridges need to be eventually replaced.
You should keep in touch that if the procedure is perfectly done and a proper oral hygiene is provided after this, this lowers the risks. Regular prophylactic checkups and gum care are a must. This would help to extend the lifespan and proper function of the dental bridge.
Then, what are the advantages? First of all, they replace your missing teeth and restores their functions like chewing and prevents your remaining teeth from shifting which causes a problem in your bite. They allow normal speaking and eating and distributes equably the loading from the chewing process and allows better digestion of the food. Also, they are permanently fixed thus preventing it from moving like dentures and reduce the risk of bone loss thus maintaining the structures of your face.
An important note: placing dental bridges do not require a surgery but in the cases where there are no healthy adjacent teeth available to serve as abutments, dental implants are used instead. So, after we know this, let’s see what is the procedure.
Lao Tzu once said: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” During your first visit, a local anaesthetic is injected into the teeth that will serve as abutments to make the procedure more comfortable. The healthy teeth that will serve as abutments are prepared by reshaping and resizing them to accommodate the crowns that will hold the pontic in place.
The teeth are prepared by spraying and taking a dental impression from the prosthesis. Next, a dental impression of the abutments is sent to a dental technician laboratory, where the bridge construction will be made of non-corrosive materials. The dentist can make and place a temporary dental bridge during the same visit until the permanent one is placed. During the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed and replaced by your custom-fit bridge; the permanent dental bridge will be trimmed and cartographed, which is actually the trial and precise alignment of the bridge construction to the tooth rows.
In case of correction, the bridge construction is returned for completion in the dental technician laboratory. In case there is no need for corrections at the same visit, the dental bridge can be permanently cemented.
Providing a proper oral care is a must in order to have healthy teeth and tough dental bridge construction. In case of periodontal problems like inflammation of the gums, the stability of the healthy teeth, as well as those of the bridge structure, is impaired.
This compromises the effect of the dental bridge. The price of the dental bridge depends on the material they are made of but generally, a dental bridge is less expensive compared to other treatments. Check our service list HERE. In a conclusion, you will be able to live your life to the fullest.
The dental bridges improve the quality of life, making chewing, talking, laughing and smiling a pleasure. Once you get familiar with it, everything will be alright. Our specialists will be happy to answer your further questions and to estimate if this is the best option for you.
Dental veneers
The healthy and shining smile is very important for your self-confidence and daily round. We all know that when we smile, we are more attractive, better accepted and the best way to increase your self-esteem is to take care of the aesthetic looks of our smile.
Some of you may have heard about the “Hollywood” smile – a precondition of a nice appearance and it is one of the main tasks of the aesthetic dentistry the clients have such a smile.
This is when the veneers come to help. The dental veneers have a fine porcelain structure in the form of a flake with a thickness of between 0.3 – 0.5 mm and play the role of teeth coverings made of ceramics.
Usually, ceramic veneers are chosen in cases of toot abnormal shape, volume, angle fractures, short teeth and to close the space between teeth in the case of diastema (gapped teeth), or to to correct mild tooth position anomalies, rotated teeth and dental dystrophies and the most common case – teeth dyschromia from fluorosis, tetracycline dyschromia where teeth whitening doesn’t work.
Do you need to correct some aesthetic imperfections? Fractures? Stains? Ceramics are also used for dental fillings. The veneers are placed on the visible part of the tooth and successfully imitate natural teeth. Usually, the number depends on how wide your smile is.
Ceramic veneers are dental prosthetics which partially cover the tooth, thus the procedure is less invasive than tooth crown placing and are among the most modern aesthetic constructions made from entirely biologically tolerable materials.
The dental veneers do not cause allergic reactions and their placement takes a visit of 5 days or two visits per day. That is why they are among the most sought-after methods of rapidly aesthetically improving the appearance.
They are a good choice mostly because with them, the polished tooth is minimal invaded, it keeps the vitality of the tooth and with time passing, it doesn’t change it’s colour when you consume food and drinks containing natural or artificial colourants (tea, wine, coffee) or smoking.
Also, the abrasion phenomenon doesn’t occur and they are easy to hygienise because they present low bacterial plaque retention and minimizes the original tooth’s trans lucidity and assure tooth contour and colour with minimal risk of gum irritation. Moreover, they are an option for teeth with sizable cavities/ fillings on the vestibular part. Remember, they are biocompatible and if you want to remove them after years, an enamel could be created again.
What about the dental enamel? First, the translucency is an important quality of the enamel and when the light reaches the tooth surface it is not immediately reflected, but enters the enamel layer all the way to the inner dentin and then as a consequence of its opaqueness it is reflected back.
The light’s transit through the enamel layer is the reason why when we smile, perfectly healthy teeth sparkle. Due to their composition, ceramic dental veneers allow the light to transmit the same way dental enamel does. This is the reason why they represent a suitable option for cosmetic repairs consisting of replacing enamel form the vestibular part of the tooth (the exterior part of the tooth).
As the veneers are a partial aesthetic covering of the tooth, you should keep in mind that your teeth are exposed to a possible damage and should receive adequate daily care.
As the service is available in Bulgaria, you will get your dreamed smile at an extremely low price of………. euros within 5 days. You only need to spend on this procedure a 5-day visit – you can enjoy all the pleasures the city of Varna offers; it is also a great option for the workaholics who cannot get out of work to visit the dentist.
Don’t worry, just get in touch with our specialists and you will receive their opinion on your case and an adequate treatment plan for less invasive procedures.
We will be happy to help you!
P.S.: Just smile!
Dentures
Dentures, also known as “artificial teeth”, are placed in the mouth to restore missing teeth when there are not enough teeth to place a bridge. They can be retained by the remaining teeth or, in the absence of such teeth, by soft tissues or implants.
Elastic prosthesis
They are made of special silicone, with no unhealthy metal hooks. Because of their elasticity, these dentures withstand extreme stress. In addition, they are aesthetic and anti-allergic and give you comfort and self-esteem.
Plaque prosthesis
Acrylic or plaque prostheses are solid and made of acrylic plastic. It consists of two components: a polymer and a monomer. At our clinic, we work with innovative systems for the most precise mixing of powder and liquid to make the most suitable and resistant partial or complete dentures for you.
partial plaque prosthetic /20-40 minutes each/ – 3 checkups within 10 days
total plaque prosthetic /20-40 minutes each/ – 4 checkups within 10-15 days
metal skeleton prosthetic /20-40 minutes each/ – 3-4 checkups within 15-20 days
Model molded prosthesis
In this type of denture, precision is achieved due to the fact that the metal base, as well as the hooks, are cast as an exact copy of a wax model. They spare adjacent teeth at the time of insertion as they do not require scraping. This type of denture fits perfectly to the gum and teeth and provides stability and nutrition security.
