Crowns
Ceramic crowns, also known as porcelain crowns, are dental restorations used to cover or cap a damaged or weakened tooth. Crafted from high-quality ceramic materials, these crowns blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing both strength and aesthetic appeal. The primary purpose of ceramic crowns is to restore the tooth's structure, function, and appearance.
These crowns are particularly popular due to their natural-looking translucency, mimicking the appearance of real teeth. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of adjacent teeth, ensuring a harmonious and lifelike smile. Additionally, ceramic crowns are biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body.
The process of getting a ceramic crown typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the tooth, takes impressions, and places a temporary crown. Skilled dental technicians then use these impressions to create a customized ceramic crown that perfectly fits the patient's bite and appearance. In the second appointment, the temporary crown is replaced with the permanent ceramic crown using dental cement.
Ceramic crowns provide durable and long-lasting solutions for teeth that have undergone significant decay, fractures, or extensive restorative procedures. Beyond functional benefits, these crowns contribute to an aesthetically pleasing smile, making them a popular choice for individuals seeking both strength and natural beauty in their dental restorations.
