Our team of skilled technicians fabricate unmatched metal-based and all-ceramic restorations in our Maine-based dental laboratory. We offer highly esthetic crowns and bridges to fulfill anterior cases of varying difficulty. We are dedicated to crafting high-quality restorations out of the best materials available to ensure longevity and esthetics. We also offer veneers and PMMA provisionals.

Full Cast

We craft our full cast crowns out of noble and high noble metals. These restorations have been a longstanding popular choice among clinicians due to their clinical success, biocompatibility, ease of use, and longevity. Our team at Dental Dynamics utilizes state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology to fabricate these crowns with superior precision, consistent fit, and finish when compared with their traditionally crafted counterparts. They are durable yet gentle on opposing dentition and ensure ideal fit, form, and function for patients.

Indications

Full-cast gold crowns are indicated for crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and bridges.

Full-cast gold crowns are contraindicated for partials and implants.

Inlays and onlays can also be fabricated as a full-cast restoration. Feather-edge margin preparations are indicated for full-cast restorations, but any margin preparation may be used.
