Dental crowns
Dental crowns are a prosthetic replacement which imitates the form, size and colour of the tooth and is permanently fixed on an implant or an abraded tooth.

CAD-CAM is an acronym for English words computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing (computer-aided design / computer-aided drawing up). CAD-CAM technology has already been used for decades in space technology, shipbuilding and automotive and aerospace industry.
In the early 80’s CAD-CAM is slowly introduced into dentistry to improve the accuracy and speed of the dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays). In the beginning the preparation was very challenging and not so fast, but now with 3D intraoral scanners and compact dental five Axis milling machines, the process is very reliable, fast and comfortable for both the technician and the patient.
CAD-CAM technologies help the dentist and technician to produce the most accurate prosthetic restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges) with a perfect anatomical shape, size and aesthetics. CAD-CAM technology is widely represented in prosthetics, but over time we see an increasing use of CAD-CAM technology in other fields of dental medicine.
This way of making prosthetic replacement is based on the preparation without or with minimal assistance of dental technicians to give a perfect precision, and the possibility of mistake is reduced to minimum. The advantage of CAD-CAM technologies is shortening the process of making restorations from two or more visits to just one. The material used in the CAD-CAM technology is zirconium. It replaces the metal, ie the metal structure (gold, titanium and other alloys) that were previously used under the porcelain. Zirkon is strong, dimensionally stable and biocompatible material that is easily processed and gives perfect aesthetics and function.
Book your appointmentWhat wonderful people! I was with Dr. Filip at the first examination and decided on an instalment of an implant because I lost a tooth a year before due to the wrong treatment of another dentist! Dr. Filip is detailed, patient and really put maximum effort in explaining the entire process of the instalment to me. Good job!

- My problems with my teeth have been going on since the 30's and even though I had regular visits to the dentist, with time, my gums were getting worse and I started isolating myself. The main reason I visited the Polyclinic Štimac was because of my receding gums. I was aware I could lose my teeth and that was not an option. I visited Dr. Štimac and she told me I had come in the initial phase of periodontitis and that we will start with a periodontitis therapy to slow down the disease in progressing. The therapy was not the most pleasant, but it is effective because periodontitis then progresses more slowly. I regularly visit the Polyclinic Štimac and I have periodontitis under control which was my goal. Many thanks to the entire staff of the polyclinic for their kindness and professionalism!

Veneers are a thin transparent replacement in the shape of a shell and that is how they got their name.
