Full Cast & Full Milled Crowns, Onlays, & Inlays
Precision Full-Cast and CAD/CAM Milled Solutions
At Modern Dental Creations, we offer a comprehensive range of full-metal restorations for patients requiring maximum durability and conservative preparations. Whether utilizing traditional casting methods or advanced digital milling, our products are engineered for longevity and biocompatibility.
A full cast crown is a dental crown made entirely from metal, such as gold alloy or other dental alloys. Because it contains no porcelain, it is extremely strong and durable, making it ideal for back teeth where chewing forces are greatest. Full cast crowns require minimal tooth reduction and are known for their long lifespan.
A milled crown is a crown created using digital CAD/CAM technology. The crown is designed on a computer and then precisely milled from a solid block of material such as zirconia, ceramic, or metal. Milled crowns provide excellent accuracy, fit, and consistency, and can often be fabricated more quickly than traditional laboratory methods.

- Premium Material: Fabricated from Ti-6Al-4V (TC4), a high-strength medical-grade titanium alloy.
- Patient Comfort: Titanium is exceptionally lightweight compared to precious metals, making it an excellent choice for patient sensitivity.
- Biocompatibility: Renowned for its neutral interaction with oral tissues, our milled titanium is an ideal solution for patients with various metal allergies or sensitivities.
