Ceramic crowns and veneers

Ceramic crowns are dental restorations used to replace or restore broken, worn or partially damaged teeth. Cosmetically, crowns improve the appearance of chipped, misshapen and heavily stained or discolored teeth. If you have an uneven smile or damaged teeth that make you feel self-conscious, dental crowns or veneers can restore your teeth and provide a beautiful and natural appearance.

Ceramic Crowns

Ceramic crowns are made of a tooth-colored ceramic material that is cemented over the tooth. It completely covers the tooth to protect its structure from further damage. They are also effective for restoring teeth that are worn, teeth that have had a root canal, or have had a cavity that is too large to be fixed with a composite filling.

Veneers

Veneers are typically more of a cosmetic procedure than a restorative one. They can be used to improve the color or shape of teeth, and may be a good alternative to ceramic crowns in certain situations. Veneers are made of thin porcelain and placed over the front visible portion of the natural tooth. They are ideal for teeth with stains that cannot be bleached, unevenly spaced teeth or misshapen teeth.
