The ceramic crown is a dental covering applied to a damaged or weakened tooth, with the goal of restoring its shape, functionality, and aesthetics. Ceramic crowns are particularly valued for their strength and ability to mimic the natural appearance of teeth, thanks to the translucency of the ceramic that allows it to reflect light in a way similar to natural teeth.
Ceramic crowns are ideal for front teeth, as they provide an excellent aesthetic result. They can also be used on back teeth, especially in cases where appearance is an important factor, but the ceramic is strong enough to withstand chewing forces.
To apply a ceramic crown, the tooth is prepared, shaped, and then an impression is taken to create a customized crown. Once ready, the crown is fixed to the tooth using a special adhesive, ensuring long-lasting durability and good stability.
