All Ceramic Crowns
The most natural – looking and beautiful crowns in dentistry are, undoubtedly, all ceramic crowns. Using these crowns tooth can be layered with pure porcelain providing it a translucency similar to that of a natural tooth. These are recommended to achieve the best aesthetics.
These are the best-looking crowns, and probably the best value for your money as far as aesthetics are concerned. Contrary to what might appear, these materials are solid and fracture tough. The material can well sustain the masticatory forces, providing durable crowns and bridges with beautiful aesthetic results.
Veneers
Often an alternative to crowns, veneers are very thin pieces of specially-shaped porcelain or plastic that are glued to the front of your teeth with little or no anaesthesia needed. They are the cure for teeth that are severally discoloured and chipped.
Unlike crowns, veneers won’t require the dentist to remove much of the tooth itself in most cases. It is essential to ask your cosmetic dentist how much tooth structure will need to be removed, which may increase the risk of trauma to the tooth.
