Dental crowns are restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken down teeth. A crown, fits over the remaining part of the tooth strengthens your existing, damaged tooth so as to preserve its functionality. Dental crowns are also commonly known as caps (because a crown sits over your existing tooth, covering the entire outer surface).
Ceramics have reached a high quality and standard of usage in dentistry, today they represent an indispensable substance for preservation and prosthetic therapy. With outstanding bio-compatibility, the aesthetic possibilities are almost unlimited. Thesmooth surface of ceramic hinders deposits of plaque and tartar, which makes the ceramic veryeasy to clean. Plaque finds it very difficult to attach itself to the extremely hard surface, so the gums around the crowns stay healthy.
Full ceramics enable this treatment to be used for people who suffer from a metal allergy.
Ceramic is a very hard material, the surface and the colour do not change with the passing of time. Ceramic tooth replacements are therefore very stable and long-lasting.
