CERAMIC CROWNS

 

Permanent caps placed on weak or damaged teeth

​

Ceramic crowns represent a premier type of dental crown crafted from top-tier ceramic material, meticulously tailored to restore both the form and function of compromised teeth. These crowns encapsulate the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gumline, offering vital protection and structural reinforcement to the remaining tooth. Choosing ceramic crowns is a prevalent preference owing to their array of advantages over alternative options like metal or amalgam crowns. Their natural aesthetic appeal stands out, given the material's flexibility in color and shape, enabling seamless integration with the surrounding teeth. This feature makes them especially sought after for front and other prominently visible teeth. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, ceramic crowns exhibit biocompatibility, ensuring they do not induce allergic reactions or harm the gum tissue. Their robust composition allows them to endure and function effectively for a span of 10-15 years with conscientious care and maintenance. The process of acquiring a ceramic crown typically entails two visits to the dentist. In the initial visit, Dr. Larry Chemaly adeptly prepares the tooth by removing any compromised tissue and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. A precise impression of the tooth is then meticulously captured and dispatched to a dental laboratory, where the crown is meticulously crafted to impeccably match the patient's unique tooth structure. During the subsequent visit, Dr. Larry Chemaly skillfully places the crown, ensuring a snug fit and harmonious coloration. Finally, the crown is securely bonded to the tooth, seamlessly blending in for a natural and cohesive appearance.
