The primary benefit of an all-ceramic crown is, of course, the appearance. It has the ability to mimic the reflective quality of original teeth, blending seamlessly with the rest of your smile. Better yet, it’s more resistant than other materials to provide longer-lasting results. The fabrication process is also beneficial for patients.
Unfortunately, laboratory fees may increase the overall cost. Oftentimes, though, patients find that the extra time and cost are well worth it given the results.
Ceramic crowns need to be thicker than other materials to ensure they don’t break. That means that some patients need more of their natural tooth removed in order to make room for the crown. Additionally, if a crack does occur, the fracture is more difficult to fix and often requires a new crown.
With that thought in mind, we use CEREC technology to provide same-day, custom-made crowns. Using 3-D imaging, we create three-dimensional models of the teeth and carefully create your restoration with a proper fit. Even better, we work with you to provide results in just one visit, which is particularly important when faced with a dental emergency.
