Benefits of All-Ceramic Dental Crowns

A dental crown can be used to restore strength, function, and esthetics to a tooth that has severe decay, a failing filling or is at risk of fracture. Proactively treating these suspect teeth with all-ceramic crowns offers greater longevity to maintain a healthy smile.

Understanding the Dental Crown Procedure

The dental crown process usually comprises multiple steps. Initially, our San Jose dentists assess your teeth to determine if a crown is necessary. If required, they'll prepare the tooth by gently removing some enamel to accommodate the crown. Subsequently, an impression of the tooth is taken to craft a custom-fit crown. Meanwhile, a temporary crown is fitted to safeguard the tooth until the permanent one is ready. Upon completion, the permanent crown is securely cemented onto the tooth, restoring its functionality and appearance.

Implant-Supported Dental Bridges

Dental bridges, when supported by dental implants, provide a more enduring and secure option in contrast to traditional bridges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crowns are typically recommended when a tooth has severe decay that can't be addressed with a filling, a failing or oversized existing filling, a crack or fracture that puts the tooth at risk of breaking, or after a root canal when the tooth structure needs reinforcement. In some cases, a crown is placed proactively on a weakened tooth to prevent a more serious problem from developing down the line.

All-ceramic crowns are made entirely from dental porcelain or ceramic material — no metal underneath. They're the preferred choice for most patients because they closely mimic the natural translucency and color of real tooth enamel, making them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. They're also biocompatible, meaning they're gentle on surrounding gum tissue and well-tolerated by the body.

Getting a crown typically takes two appointments. At first visit, your Orlando dentist assesses the tooth and prepares it by gently removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crown. An impression or digital scan of the tooth is taken and used to fabricate your custom crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being made. At the second appointment, the temporary is removed, the fit and shade of the permanent crown are verified, and it's securely cemented into place.

With proper care, all-ceramic dental crowns can last fifteen to twenty years or longer. Their longevity depends on several factors, including oral hygiene habits, whether you grind your teeth, and how well you maintain your regular dental checkup schedule. Crowns don't decay themselves, but the tooth underneath still can, so keeping the area clean where the crown meets the gum line is especially important.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, which are fitted with crowns to support the bridge. The result is a seamless, non-removable replacement that restores your ability to chew and speak comfortably and prevents the surrounding teeth from drifting into the empty space over time.

A traditional bridge relies on the adjacent natural teeth for support, which requires those teeth to be prepared and crowned even if they're otherwise healthy. An implant-supported bridge, by contrast, is anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, meaning no healthy teeth need to be altered. Implant-supported bridges are more stable, preserve jawbone density, and tend to be a more durable long-term solution.
