In modern esthetic dentistry, the use of metal for crowns and bridges is becoming increasingly rare. It is being replaced by zirconia, a durable, biocompatible material. However, to guarantee the highest quality, Studio Dentaire in Lyon 3ème offers fixed ceramic dentures at a higher price than some dental practices. Here are the reasons why.
Unlike those made of metal, fixed ceramic fixed prostheses ensure a perfectly natural result. Even if the gum retracts, there’s no unsightly border to mar your smile.
Zirconia is a particularly strong synthetic compound, with the added advantage of being perfectly tolerated by the body. At Studio Dentaire, we have therefore chosen to have the structure and visible part of our dental prostheses manufactured in zirconia.
The characteristics of dental ceramics finally offer you optimum comfort, similar to that of natural teeth. Chewing and speaking are greatly facilitated, whatever the number of dentures worn.
Although many low-cost prostheses are available on the Internet and elsewhere, they do not offer the level of quality we want to guarantee our patients. At Studio Dentaire, for example, the price of a ceramic crown is around 950 euros. An onlay costs 685 euros.
These prices can be explained by the quality and traceability of our ceramics, as well as by the fact that we use experienced prosthetic craftsmen to manufacture each product. We work with the Pierre Michel Favier laboratory in Villeurbanne, and with CARA DAMIRON in Caluire-et-Cuire. We also call on Sébastien Mosconi of Munich-based Oral Design French Riviera. As for implants, we order them exclusively from ASTRATECH, the world leader in this field.
Although the French health insurance scheme has offered reimbursement for dental prostheses since 2020, this remains subject to a ceiling price. Unfortunately, this ceiling does not correspond to the cost of a top-of-the-range zirconia prosthesis.
However, some complementary health insurance organizations offer flat-rate reimbursements for implantology and denture treatment. To find out whether your mutual insurance company offers such packages, contact our care coordinator. She can also draw up a personalized payment schedule for your treatment.
