Top-Tier Dental Ceramics
Dr. Ornelas believes that his patients deserve the best, which is why he offers top-tier restorative materials that are known to provide exceptional durability, longevity, and aesthetic value. Brands like BruxZir® Solid Zirconia, EZ (Esthetic Zirconia), and E.max Ceramics ensure a precise color match with your natural smile and also eliminate the dark line of metal that can form around the gum line over time when placing more traditional, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. They’re less prone to chipping and should function at a very close level to natural tooth enamel, providing plenty of reliable biting strength throughout everyday life.
What are the Benefits of Metal-Free Dental Restorations?
In addition to their visual appearance, here are some other valuable benefits of choosing metal-free materials for your brand-new dental crown, inlay, onlay, or similar restoration:
- The new restoration will be lighter and thinner than metal or metal-mixed substances, which means that we can preserve a greater amount of natural dental structure during the placement process. It also means that this style of smile addition is ideal for patients who have very little room between their teeth.
- No metal is present to have strong reactions to hot and cold temperatures, allowing the patient to avoid uncomfortable sensitivity when eating.
- The 100% biocompatible nature of the restoration is safe for all patients, including those who struggle with allergic reactions to common dental metals.
Understanding the Cost of Metal-Free Restorations
Everyone’s smile is entirely different, so the cost of metal-free restorations can vary significantly. There are many factors that impact the cost of your treatment. During your consultation with us, we will examine your smile and discuss the estimated cost of your restoration so that you don’t run into any surprises. We will also go over your payment options. Until then, here are some things for you to take into consideration.
Factors That Can Affect the Cost of Your Metal-Free Restoration
There are a variety of factors that can impact the cost of your metal-free restoration. Here are some of the most influential ones.
- The Type of Restoration: Generally speaking, the larger the restoration, the more it will cost. For example, getting a single crown won’t cost as much as bridge that replaces several teeth.
- How Many Restorations You Need: With each additional restoration comes additional costs.
- The Materials Used: Metal-free restorations can be made from a variety of different materials, and they are all at different price points.
- Dental Insurance Coverage: If you have dental insurance, it will likely cover a portion of your restorative treatment if it is beneficial for your dental health.
Other Ways to Make Metal-Free Restorations Affordable

We are happy to be in-network with Delta Premier. If you don’t have dental insurance, this doesn’t mean that you are completely out of luck.
