Ceramic Crowns

The ceramic crown stands today among the most powerful and most effective solutions to regain a harmonious smile and healthy teeth. Specialising in aesthetic dentistry, your dentist in Cannes, Angela Rossi, takes stock of everything you need to know about ceramic crowns.

What is a ceramic crown?

The ceramic crown is a dental prosthesis that fits perfectly the shape of a tooth. It belongs to the family of dental crowns that offer a very high level of quality, thanks notably to a particularly refined manufacturing process. The ceramic crown thus stands apart from metal, resin or zirconia dental crowns. It is composed of a ceramic framework resistant over time and of a ceramic whose shade is identical to that of natural teeth. When it is recommended by a dentist, the ceramic crown is fixed with cement or bonded.

The ceramic crown has several uses. It allows, in most cases, the restoration of a broken tooth or a devitalised tooth. It can also serve to protect weakened teeth or to cover a deformed or discoloured tooth. The ceramic dental crown is finally commonly used to cover a dental implant. In every case, the placement of a ceramic crown contributes to improving oral health. It can prevent other more substantial care if nothing is done within a given time frame. Whatever the reason justifying recourse to a ceramic crown, it is moreover essential that its placement be carried out by a professional dentist and that the intervention be carefully prepared in advance.
