Ceramic Crown A dental crown is a cap placed over a tooth by the dentist to restore its shape, size, and function. Crowns not only strengthen weakened teeth but also improve their appearance. At Infinity Dental Care, we understand the importance of a natural-looking smile. That's why we recommend ceramic crowns to conceal cracks, stains, and other imperfections on the front teeth.Why Are Dental Crowns Used?A dental crown is typically needed for a tooth that is worn, cracked, or weakened. However, some individuals choose crowns for cosmetic reasons even when they are not medically necessary. Dental crowns can cover misshapen, discolored, or decayed teeth, improving both the tooth's function and the overall appearance of a person's smile. How Are ceramic Crowns Different From Other Crowns?Dental crowns come in various materials, with many designed to blend seamlessly with the color of natural teeth. Your dentist will determine the best material for your crown based on factors such as the location of the tooth, the condition of your gums, your personal preferences, and the shade of the surrounding teeth. ceramic crowns are a popular choice because they closely resemble natural teeth and maintain normal functionality. However, they take time to fabricate, and because ceramic is not as flexible as natural enamel, certain dietary adjustments may be necessary once the crown is in place, such as avoiding hard, crunchy, or sticky foods. Full block zirconia ceramic crownsFull block zirconia ceramic crowns are a modern and highly durable option for restoring damaged or missing tooth structure. Milled from a single solid block of zirconia, these crowns offer exceptional strength, making them ideal for both posterior and anterior restorations. In addition to their durability, full block zirconia crowns provide a natural, tooth-like appearance and are biocompatible, minimizing the risk of irritation or allergic reaction. Their resistance to wear and fracture has made them a popular choice in restorative dentistry for long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results. What's The Crown Procedure Like?The dental crown procedure typically requires two visits. During the first appointment, your dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to accommodate the crown. If the tooth is severely decayed, the dentist may need to rebuild its core to provide adequate support. Next, an impression or digital scan is taken to create an exact model of your tooth, which will be used to fabricate the crown. While waiting for the final crown, you may receive a temporary crown for protection. At the second visit, your dentist will place the completed crown, make necessary adjustments, and cement it securely in place. Some dental crowns can be fabricated and installed on the same day.
