What is a Ceramic Crown?
Ceramic crowns, also known as porcelain crowns, have become increasingly popular in the field of dental restoration. These crowns are designed to cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Unlike traditional metal crowns, ceramic crowns are made from porcelain, which provides a natural appearance and blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Ceramic crowns are used to treat a variety of dental conditions, including decayed teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, and teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. They are also used to improve the appearance of stained or misshapen teeth. The process of getting a ceramic crown typically involves two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged enamel. An impression of the tooth is then taken, which is used to create a custom-fitted ceramic crown. The second visit involves the permanent placement of the crown, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural-looking results.
