Hi. I’m H2 section title.
Nothing interferes with a smile’s function and appearance like decayed or damaged teeth, and we at Dentist of Lubbock are here to help. We are pleased to offer a range of restorative dental solutions, including ceramic crowns. You can always count on our team for quality, durable restorations for long-term healthy smiles!
What Is a Ceramic Crown?
Dental crowns are tooth-colored caps that cover the visible portions of damaged teeth, restoring their form and function. Ceramic crowns, in particular, are strong, durable, and withstand chewing forces. Their translucent porcelain material is easily matched to the shade and texture of the surrounding teeth leaving you with the natural smile of your dreams!
What Are the Benefits of Dental Crowns?
Ceramic crowns offer many benefits, including the following:
- Restoring weak, damaged, or fractured teeth.
- Protecting teeth after root canal treatments.
- Closing small gaps or correcting uneven tooth spacing.
- Repairing teeth requiring large fillings.
- Correcting the size, shape, and health of worn-down teeth.
- Improving the size, shape, color, or appearance of teeth with imperfections.
- Replacing missing teeth by covering dental implants or supporting dental bridges.
What Is the Ceramic Crown Procedure?
The first step is the administration of a local anesthetic to provide you with a comfortable experience. We then remove a thin layer of the affected tooth to make space for the restorative crown. Next, we take an impression of the affected tooth and the surrounding teeth to send to our dental laboratory to serve as a model for your new ceramic crown. We will place a temporary crown on your prepared tooth to protect it as you wait.
When your crown is ready, you will return for a placement appointment. We will evaluate your new crown for a perfect fit and color-match, then cement it in place. We will make any necessary changes to ensure your new crown is comfortable and doesn’t interfere with your bite. Your restored tooth will look and function just like a natural one!
How Long Do Ceramic Crowns Last?
On average, ceramic crowns last about 15 years. With proper care, they may last up to 25 years or more. You will get to enjoy your strong, functional tooth and your new dazzling smile for many years to come.
