Ceramic crowns have an impressive success rate, with studies showing that 90% of ceramic crowns remain in place and functioning after five years.
Ceramic crowns offer superior aesthetics compared to traditional PFM crowns for a more natural-looking smile.
Placement of ceramic crowns is quicker and more convenient than other restoration options and can be completed in one appointment.
Ceramic crowns are highly durable and have a high success rate.
Dental crowns are often used in conjunction with other restorative dentistry measures in order to give patients the smile they dream of. Dental crowns, or caps, are made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal, and are custom-crafted to fit over the existing tooth. At Gentle Dental Care, we are experienced in providing dental crowns to patients so that they can smile with confidence. Learn more about dental crowns and how they can restore the function and beauty of your teeth.
Dental crowns are used for a variety of purposes, including:
The process for getting dental crowns usually takes place over two visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the tooth is prepared for the crown and an impression is made. This impression is then used to create a model of the tooth, which is used to create the custom-crafted dental crown. The second visit is used to place the dental crown on the tooth. To place the crown, the tooth is first numbed with local anesthesia. The existing tooth is then trimmed down to make room for the crown. The crown is then placed on the tooth and held in place with dental cement. Once the dental cement has set, the dentist will check to make sure that the fit of the crown is correct and that there are no gaps between the crown and the tooth.
Dental crowns are not usually painful. However, the process of preparing the tooth for the crown can be uncomfortable for some patients. To prepare the tooth, the dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia. Once the area is numb, the existing tooth will be trimmed down to make room for the crown. This part of the procedure can cause some discomfort. However, the local anesthesia will help to minimize any pain.

"I absolutely love this dentist! I initially came in to get veneers on my two front teeth which turned out beautifully, they look & feel very natural, definitely exceeded my expectations. I’ve also gotten whitening done here on two separate occasions, each treatment comes with 4 sessions and the results are amazing."
