Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM)

Oceanic Dental Laboratory offers porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crown (PFMs) and porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge that can be fully customisable. 

We provide a number of different alloy materials for the base of the PFM. While our non-precious alloy is cost effective, our precious materials are most biocompatible and are suited to patients with high sensitivities. 

Oceanic Dental Laboratory can fabricate a variety of survey crowns, stress-broken bridges, customisable attachments, as well as varying metal and margin designs. Quality porcelain margins can be fired to a well-prepared shoulder margin, or ultra-fine metal margins, depending on your preference and requirements. For optimal outcomes, follow our PFM Crown Preparation Guidelines.

Full-cast

A full cast crown, also known as a full-metal crown, is an efficient and cost-effective method of dental restoration, predominantly used in posterior teeth rehabilitation. At Oceanic Dental Laboratory, our full-cast restorations are entirely fabricated from metal alloys, including gold or non-precious materials. We offer an extensive selection of metal options and alternatives, ensuring biocompatibility and tolerance, particularly for patients with sensitivities to metal alloys.

Temporary

Temporary crowns and bridges can serve as an effective means for your patients to visualise the outcome of their restoration and to ensure the final fit and bite are suitable for the intended result.

Zirconia

Oceanic Dental Laboratory offers a range of aesthetic Zirconia ceramic dental Crowns and Bridges for your restoration cases. Utilising high-quality materials such as Zirconia, we can fabricate custom ceramic solutions tailored to meet the specific requirements of each case. Explore our Zirconia Preparation Guidelines to ensure the best results for your restorations. Select from an extensive assortment of tooth shade options to ensure a crown and bridge ceramic restoration that is not only visually pleasing but also offers excellent value for money.

E.max®

E.max is made from a type of glass-ceramic that looks and feels like a natural tooth. When using E.max for a crown or bridge, a dentist will bond the dental restoration directly to the tooth for a natural aesthetic and strong fit with minimal tooth reduction. E.max is a cost-effective material we use to fabricate short span bridges and crowns and bridges.
