Why Do I Need a Ceramic Dental Crown?

Do you have a tooth that is broken, weak, or severely decayed? In such cases, a dental crown is the preferred treatment, as it can surround the damaged structure and totally remake the size, shape, and overall appearance of the affected tooth.

When to Opt For Ceramic Dentistry

While the primary goal of any dental treatment is to restore the function and health of your teeth, for many patients, cosmetics are also a huge concern.

In such cases, all-ceramic crowns can come to the rescue. A natural-looking and biocompatible material, the all-ceramic dental crown is a strong, effective, and aesthetically pleasing option for replacing a tooth that is in the front of your smile.

Many dentists choose to use ceramic crowns to:

• Restore a dental implant
• Replace missing teeth
• Make cosmetic improvements to a misshapen or otherwise flawed front tooth
• Restore decaying teeth
• Build strength in a worn-down and weak tooth

Dental ceramic is a smooth, white material, that can be customized to exactly match the shade of your natural enamel. In addition, the material also looks and feels like your natural teeth, which is why it’s often the most preferred material in restorative dentistry.

4 Incredible Benefits of Ceramic Dentistry

While one of the biggest benefits of ceramic crowns is that they are aesthetically pleasing, this material has other advantages over crowns made of metal.

Some advantages include:

• Biocompatible and non-toxic
• Natural-looking
• Less sensitive to extreme temperatures
• Highly durable

What Is Involved in Getting a Ceramic Crown?

Receiving a ceramic crown is very similar to a traditional crown treatment and will require two visits to your Calgary dentist.

• Appointment 1:

During this appointment, your dentist will discuss and put into place your treatment plan, and take your dental impressions. Your dentist will also prepare your tooth to receive the crown and you’ll be given a temporary cap while your customized crown is being made.

• Appointment 2:

Once your ceramic crown is ready, you will be called into your dental clinic for its placement. The temporary cap will be removed and your dentist will check the fit of your new crown, making any last-minute adjustments and ensuring the crown is bonded securely to your tooth.

After Treatment: How Should I Look After My Ceramic Crown?

One of the greatest advantages of a ceramic crown is that it requires minimal maintenance. However, it’s important to remember that, while this material is very durable and long-lasting, it does require some care to ensure its longevity.

To enjoy a healthy crown for years to come, make sure to:

• Keep up your good dental hygiene habits
• Brush your teeth and crown at least twice a day
• Floss at least once a day, making sure not to pull on your crown
• Avoid teeth-staining foods and drinks, or gargling with water straight after eating such foods.
• Stop smoking.
• Visit your dentist for regular preventative care.
