An all-ceramic restoration
is a crown made of dental ceramic sometimes called dental porcelain. It is a biocompatible, aesthetic, and sturdy option for restoring a damaged or decayed tooth. Dental crowns repair broken, decayed, or otherwise flawed teeth. Some of the most common applications of dental crowns include
- Restoring the shape of a chipped or broken tooth
- Strengthening a weak or worn tooth
- Restoring a tooth after significant decay
- Holding together pieces of a broken tooth
- Replacing one or more missing teeth
- Making cosmetic improvements to severely flawed teeth
- As the final step in a root canal
