Ceramic Crowns

When a smile is compromised by teeth that are worn and decayed, broken, or cracked, people notice. This can suddenly cuase us to feel self-conscious and attempt to cover our smiles with pursed lips. The alternative to this social faux pas is all-ceramic crowns.

Ceramic is a durable material that will last successfully, while also retaining a natural appearance. It can be matched to the patient's natural teeth, in terms of color and shape, as well as in translucency. The prosthetic crowns blend inconspicuously with the rest of the mouth, not only hiding the damaged teeth, but bringing a healthy luster to the entire smile.

During the first ceramic crown appointment, the doctor will thoroughly assess and clean the area, fitting a mold over the teeth. This is sent to a lab, the ceramic prosthetics are made, and during the second appointment, the crowns will be double checked for fit, and secured in place. This entire process can usually take about 2 weeks, during which temporary crowns can be applied if desired.
