All-Ceramic Porcelain Dental Crowns

All-Ceramic Crowns Restore Front Teeth to a Natural Attractive Appearance

All-ceramic porcelain dental crowns offer a natural-looking solution for a broken tooth, cracked tooth, or teeth that are too severely damaged to be corrected with fillings or veneers.

Ceramic crowns can be made in shades of white that will match your surrounding teeth and other cosmetic dental work.

Along with dental bonding and dental veneers, all-ceramic crowns can probably restore any smile.

All-Ceramic Dental Crowns Procedure Overview

A dental crown is fitted as part of a two-stage process. During your first visit, your tooth is evaluated using x-rays to determine the amount of damage that needs to be repaired.

A dental mold comprises the treated tooth and the opposing and adjacent teeth. The mold is sent to our dental lab for fabrication. The new dental crown is color-matched to the correct shade of the surrounding teeth.

The tooth is then prepared by removing a portion of the enamel around and across the top to support the crown. The patient is fitted with a temporary acrylic crown.

When the dental crown arrives, it is bonded to the prepared tooth using strong dental cement. The new crown is then cleaned and polished. The restored tooth looks natural and feels comfortable when biting and chewing.

A local anesthetic is generally used during both the preparation and installation phases. Sedation dentistry options are also available.

Dental Restoration Materials

All-ceramic dental crowns have no metal and are made of ceramic glass, sometimes strengthened with a translucent material such as zirconium.

• BruxZir^® Zirconia provides a strong and durable restoration. It is an esthetic alternative to gold and metal restorations. 
• e.max is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic with optimized translucency, durability, and strength for full anatomical restorations. Due to new technologies and optimized processing parameters, e.max lithium disilicate has evolved beyond previously available lithium disilicate ceramics. e.max crowns can be cemented using conventional or adhesive cement techniques.
