Full Ceramic Crown

Create a request

A Full Ceramic Crown is a dental procedure designed to restore the function, shape, and aesthetic of a damaged or decayed tooth. It involves the placement of a custom-made crown made entirely of ceramic material over the existing tooth. This type of crown is favored for its natural appearance and compatibility with the human body.

Full Ceramic Crown

General

Full Ceramic Crowns are considered an effective solution for repairing teeth that have been significantly damaged due to decay, fracture, or after root canal therapy. They are meticulously designed to match the color, size, and shape of the natural teeth, providing a seamless appearance. The procedure not only restores the tooth's functionality but also aims at enhancing the overall smile aesthetics. The ceramic material used in these crowns is biocompatible, offering excellent durability and resistance to wear, making it a suitable option for long-term dental restoration. Furthermore, since ceramic is less likely to cause allergic reactions and does not have a metallic color, full ceramic crowns are highly appreciated for their aesthetic appeal and health compatibility.
