All Ceramic Restorations
All-ceramic dental restorations, also known as ceramic or porcelain restorations, are a type of dental prosthesis used to repair or replace damaged teeth. Made entirely of high-strength ceramic material, they offer many advantages over traditional metal-based restorations. These restorations can be used to treat cracked, scratched, or discolored teeth, as well as missing teeth.
One of the biggest advantages of all-ceramic restorations is their aesthetic success. They mimic the color, permeability and texture of natural teeth so well that they are almost indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. They also do not contain metal components that can cause unpleasant gray lines at the gum line or allergic reactions in some patients.
Another advantage of all-ceramic restorations is that they are strong and durable. With proper care, they can last for many years, providing a long-term and cost-effective option for repairing damaged teeth. They are also extremely resistant to wear and staining and can accommodate normal biting and chewing forces.
All-ceramic restorations require careful planning and precision to achieve optimal results. Your dentist will carefully evaluate your dental health needs and develop a custom treatment plan with your unique needs and goals in mind. They will also precisely prepare the affected tooth or teeth to ensure proper fit and optimal bonding.
