Lava Plus 3M Crown

What Is a Lava Plus 3M Crown?

At Vietnam Dental Travel, our Lava Plus 3M crown service offers a world-class restorative solution using premium ceramic materials to rebuild and enhance the natural beauty of your smile.
Lava Plus 3M crowns are manufactured by 3M Company, a globally renowned American corporation recognized for its innovations in dental materials and technology.

These crowns are crafted from high-purity yttria-stabilized zirconium dioxide, featuring a durable zirconia core coated with a fine ceramic layer. This advanced construction provides superior translucency, brightness, and natural light reflection—perfectly mimicking real enamel.
As a result, Lava Plus 3M crowns represent one of the most advanced zirconia-based restorations available, combining long-term durability with remarkable aesthetics.

At Vietnam Dental Travel, each patient receives personalized consultation, careful examination, and expert treatment planning by our highly experienced dental team. Based on your dental condition and aesthetic goals, our doctors will recommend the most suitable solution for optimal safety, beauty, and function.
All Lava Plus 3M crowns come with a 10-year warranty at Vietnam Dental Travel.

Key Advantages of Lava Plus 3M Crowns

  • High Aesthetics:
    The advanced ceramic coating on Lava Plus 3M crowns offers brilliant clarity and realistic enamel-like brightness. Their natural translucency and fine veining replicate the depth and detail of real teeth. Available in all 16 VITA classical shades plus additional bleach shades, these crowns ensure perfect color harmony for every smile.

  • Exceptional Strength and Durability:
    The zirconia core delivers superior strength, with a flexural strength exceeding 1200 MPa—approximately 8–9 times stronger than natural enamel. This allows the crowns to withstand high bite pressure without cracking or chipping, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.

  • Biocompatibility & Stain Resistance:
    Made from ultra-pure zirconia, Lava Plus 3M crowns are highly biocompatible and safe for soft tissues. They do not cause gum irritation or allergic reactions and feature a dense, non-porous surface that resists stains from coffee, tea, or wine, maintaining long-lasting brightness.

  • Minimal Tooth Preparation:
    The crown can be designed with walls as thin as 0.5 mm, meaning less natural tooth reduction is required compared to traditional crowns. This conservative approach preserves tooth health, reduces discomfort, and lowers the risk of post-treatment sensitivity.

Step-by-Step Lava Plus 3M Crown Restoration at Vietnam Dental Travel

Step 1: Examination and Consultation
Comprehensive examination and diagnostic imaging (X-rays or digital scans) are performed to evaluate tooth condition, supporting structures, and bite. A personalized treatment plan is then designed.

Step 2: Tooth Preparation
Under local anesthesia, the dentist removes decayed or weakened areas while preserving as much natural tooth as possible to create a strong foundation.

Step 3: Tooth Shaping
The tooth is shaped to allow the crown to fit perfectly without affecting bite alignment or aesthetics.

Step 4: Impression and Temporary Crown Fabrication
An impression or digital scan is taken and sent to the dental lab. A temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth until the final crown is ready.

Step 5: Crown Fitting and Adjustment
Once the permanent crown is received, the dentist checks the fit, shade, and occlusion, making any fine adjustments to ensure comfort and natural appearance.

Step 6: Final Cementation and Follow-Up
The crown is permanently bonded using high-strength dental adhesive. A follow-up appointment is scheduled to check the crown’s function, comfort, and long-term success.
