Crowns, veneers, inlays, flow injection technique – prosthetic restorations on natural teeth

Modern dentistry offers a range of solutions that make it possible to save and aesthetically reconstruct even severely damaged teeth. Thanks to advanced prosthetic restorations at Warsaw Dental Academy in Bemowo, we can restore your complete smile while preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible.

What are the key features of modern dental crowns?

A crown is a fixed restoration used when a tooth is severely damaged or requires strengthening following root canal treatment. At our clinic, we primarily use zirconia crowns, which are fully biocompatible and exceptionally durable. We begin with a digital design that allows you to “try on” your new smile with a mock-up before the tooth is prepared. This gives you confidence that the final shape and colour will perfectly complement your face.

When should you consider porcelain veneers?

Veneers are thin layers of porcelain bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth. This minimally invasive solution is ideal for correcting gaps, discolouration and minor imperfections in tooth shape. Precise intraoral scanning eliminates the need for traditional and often uncomfortable impressions, while the finished veneers are virtually indistinguishable from natural enamel.

What are endocrowns and why are they important after root canal treatment?

A tooth may become more fragile following root canal treatment. An endocrown is a single restoration that rebuilds the crown of the tooth while using the pulp chamber for secure retention. It is one of the best contemporary methods for protecting a treated tooth against fractures and ensuring its long-term durability.

What are Inlay, Onlay and Overlay restorations?

When a cavity is too extensive for an ordinary filling but the tooth does not yet require a complete crown, we use indirect restorations. They differ in the extent of the tooth structure they rebuild:

  • Inlay – fills the inner area of the chewing surface.
  • Onlay – also covers one or more of the tooth’s cusps.
  • Overlay – the most extensive option, protecting the entire chewing surface and the sides of the tooth.

These restorations are manufactured in a dental laboratory using zirconia or composite material, providing a level of marginal precision that cannot be achieved with a traditional filling.

What does the innovative Flow Injection method involve?

Flow Injection represents a significant innovation in aesthetic dentistry. This method allows teeth to be rebuilt without grinding them down. The dentist applies a flowable composite using a special matrix created from a Digital Smile Design (DSD). It is an excellent option for people with worn teeth following orthodontic treatment who are looking for a rapid and more affordable smile transformation.

Why choose prosthetic restorations at Warsaw Dental Academy?

At our clinic, we combine a passion for aesthetics with the latest technology. We work with leading dental laboratories, while our specialists continually develop their expertise in adhesive dentistry. This means that every crown, veneer and indirect restoration is fitted with exceptional precision, ensuring durability and a natural appearance.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about prosthetic restorations

Is the Flow Injection procedure durable? This method produces highly aesthetic results, but composite material may wear down or become discoloured more quickly than porcelain. It therefore requires regular check-ups and polishing.

Is preparing teeth for crowns painful? The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, making it completely painless. Once the tooth has been prepared, we always fit a temporary crown to keep the patient comfortable until the final restoration is ready.
