Many people think of dental crowns as a utilitarian restoration that repairs cracked or broken teeth, which is a common use for them. We also use ceramic crowns in our Encinitas, CA dental office to improve the appearance of the teeth and smile.
Here Are Some of the Esthetic Advantages of Ceramic Crowns
No metal margins – Unlike metal-based and porcelain crown blends, no dark margins will outline the teeth, giving away your dentistry and casting a shadow on your smile. Ceramic crowns are tooth-colored and natural-looking without metal components.
Long-term beauty – Ceramic is durable. It is almost like having natural tooth enamel encasing the tooth, so the foods that are safe for your natural teeth are also safe for your new restorations.
Ceramic crowns will not stain as quickly as natural teeth. When used to repair chipped and cracked teeth, ceramic crowns created by our Encinitas, CA dentist and laboratory will give you a brighter, uniform appearance to your smile.
Lengthening teeth – Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common cause of wear to teeth. Worn teeth may chip or crack and collect stains, not to mention that worn teeth expose the darker dentin underlying the worn away enamel.
Ceramic dental crowns cover stained, dark, and damaged teeth for a renewed look that can take years off of your smile.
White, bright teeth – Some people simply do not have white teeth, and ceramic crowns offer a reliable solution. Professional teeth whitening only bleaches away stains and cannot change naturally dark tooth color.
Medical teeth stains are another challenge that we solve using ceramic crowns in our Encinitas, CA dental office.
