All-ceramic crown

After breaking a tooth or destroying it, when at first it seems that nothing worse could have happened, we go to the dentist as soon as possible, hoping that we may not need to remove the tooth. Modern dentistry and prosthetics give you the opportunity to rebuild damaged tissues and return, as far as aesthetics is concerned, to the original state, or even better.

All-ceramic crowns are the first crowns in order recommended to very demanding patients. High aesthetic requirements caused a number of studies leading to finding a prosthetic solution that would best imitate the natural enamel of a tooth.

Currently, all-ceramic restorations are among the best. The high standard of all-ceramic restorations is achieved through the use of computers at every stage of their design and manufacture. Thanks to this, the obtained prosthetic restoration exhibits features almost identical to those of a natural tooth. Due to the high aesthetic values, all-ceramic restorations are offered to patients to reconstruct their teeth in the aesthetic zone.

Crowns are made of different materials and therefore they differ from each other. And so it can be a crown on metal, where the cap is made of steel, which is covered with a layer of porcelain. The result is quite good. Unfortunately, sometimes there is metal on the joint between the crown and gums, besides, the porcelain layer is quite thin and does not imitate a tooth in a perfect way.

All-ceramic crowns, in which the whole crown is made of ceramics, do not have such defects, so the possibilities of aesthetic fitting are the greatest. Therefore, it is the best solution for the reconstruction of anterior teeth. Unfortunately, it should be remembered that such a crown has limited strength and should not be used in posterior teeth, as it may crack.

Thanks to the use of ceramics in this type of crowns, a very high level of protection against microorganisms is provided – thanks to which dental plaque is formed very slowly on the crown.

Crowns made of ceramics meet all the requirements for dental reconstruction – strength, exceptional aesthetics, color matching to the tooth tissue and total biocompatibility and tolerance by the human body. Compared to standard prosthetic work based on metal and porcelain, zirconium oxide allows the restoration of teeth in an even more natural way.
