Question 1

What prosthetic options does Ultradent offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer zirconia crowns, metal-ceramic crowns, E.max / all-ceramic crowns, crown and bridge restorations for missing teeth, implant-supported crowns and bridges, and temporary crowns during the restoration process.

Question 2

What is the difference between a zirconia crown and a metal-ceramic crown?

Accepted Answer

Zirconia crowns are made entirely from ceramic and offer the most natural appearance with no dark gum line. Metal-ceramic crowns have a metal base with a porcelain outer layer — they are durable and more affordable, but can show a grey line at the gumline over time. We recommend the best option based on the tooth's location and your aesthetic goals.

Question 3

How long do dental crowns last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, zirconia and E.max crowns typically last 15-20+ years. Metal-ceramic crowns generally last 10-15 years. Longevity depends on oral hygiene, biting forces, and regular maintenance check-ups.

Question 4

How many appointments does getting a crown take?

Accepted Answer

A standard crown requires 2 appointments: the first for tooth preparation and fitting a temporary crown, and the second (typically 5-7 days later) for fitting the permanent crown. For international patients, both appointments can often be scheduled within a single trip to Tbilisi.

Question 5

What is a dental bridge and when is it used?

Accepted Answer

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Unlike a removable denture, a bridge is permanent and feels like natural teeth.

Question 6

Can I get a crown or bridge if I'm visiting Tbilisi from abroad?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many international patients complete their crown or bridge treatment within a single visit. We can also coordinate temporary restorations if you need to return home between appointments.
