All-ceramic crown
Metal-free crown for a natural appearance and biocompatible restoration.
An all-ceramic crown is a metal-free restoration made entirely from dental ceramic materials. It offers excellent biocompatibility and a highly natural appearance, making it a preferred choice for visible teeth and patients with metal sensitivities.
Because light passes through ceramic similarly to natural enamel, all-ceramic crowns can achieve superior aesthetic results in the smile zone. They provide reliable strength for most applications when properly indicated and bonded.
What to expect
Preparation, impressions, and temporary crown placement follow the same general steps as other crown types. The laboratory crafts the all-ceramic crown to match the shade and shape of your surrounding teeth. Final cementation completes the restoration.
Who is it for
All-ceramic crowns are ideal for front and premolar teeth where aesthetics are paramount, and for patients who prefer to avoid metal entirely. Your dentist will assess bite forces and tooth position to ensure ceramic is appropriate for your case.
After your treatment
Maintain excellent oral hygiene around the crown margin. While durable, ceramic can chip under extreme force — avoid biting on hard objects. Regular dental examinations ensure the crown and underlying tooth remain healthy.
