At Dental Elements, we understand the impact that damaged or decayed teeth can have on your smile, confidence, and overall well-being. Ceramic crowns offer a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring damaged or decayed teeth while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. Our experienced dentists are dedicated to providing personalized care and utilizing advanced techniques to ensure that your ceramic crowns seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crowns) are the most popular, because they resemble your natural teeth. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size and color of your teeth giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
Ceramic crowns, also known as porcelain crowns, are tooth-colored restorations that cap and protect the entire visible portion of a tooth. They are crafted from high-quality ceramic materials that closely resemble the color, translucence, and texture of natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing restoration.

Ceramic crowns offer numerous advantages over traditional metal crowns, including:
Natural appearance: Ceramic crowns are meticulously crafted to match the exact color and shade of your natural teeth, ensuring an undetectable restoration.
Biocompatibility: Ceramic crowns are made from non-allergenic materials, making them compatible with the body’s tissues and unlikely to cause allergic reactions.
Strength and durability: Ceramic crowns are strong and durable, capable of withstanding normal chewing forces and providing long-lasting protection.
Preserving tooth structure: Ceramic crowns require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure, maximizing the preservation of your natural tooth.
Improved oral hygiene: Ceramic crowns provide a smooth, non-porous surface that facilitates easy cleaning and reduces the risk of plaque buildup.
Our experienced dentists at Dental Elements will carefully assess your dental needs and determine if ceramic crowns are the right option for you. The procedure typically involves:
Consultation: We will discuss your concerns, treatment goals, and answer any questions you may have.
Local anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the tooth and ensure a comfortable procedure.
Tooth preparation: The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully prepared to create a stable foundation for the crown.
Digital impression: A digital impression of the prepared tooth is created using advanced technology, ensuring precise measurements and a customized crown fit.
Laboratory fabrication: Your ceramic crown is meticulously crafted in a specialized dental lab using high-quality materials and advanced techniques.
Crown placement: Your custom-made ceramic crown is precisely placed and securely bonded to the prepared tooth, ensuring a natural-looking and long-lasting restoration.
Ceramic crowns typically require minimal aftercare. However, we recommend following these guidelines for optimal healing and long-lasting results:
Maintain good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing regularly.
Avoid biting on hard objects for the first 24 hours.
Schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings to monitor your ceramic crowns and overall oral health.
