Restorative & Implant Dentistry

Ceramic Crown

A custom-milled ceramic cap that completely covers a damaged or heavily restored tooth to restore its strength and shape. This is for patients with teeth weakened by large fillings, root canals, or structural fractures.

If left untreated

A cracked or heavily filled tooth can fracture further, sometimes beyond repair.

Treatment Stages

  1. Step 1. Preparation

    The tooth is shaped and an impression or scan is taken.

  2. Step 2. Temporary

    A provisional crown is fitted while the ceramic is made.

  3. Step 3. Fit

    The final crown is tried in, bonded or cemented, and the bite is checked.

Questions

Is this the same as a veneer?

No. A crown covers the whole tooth. A veneer covers mainly the front surface.

Can a crown go on an implant?

Yes. Implant crowns are part of the implant fee pathway and are planned after healing.
