Ceramic Crowns

Smile Again with Ceramic Crowns

Everyone wants a beautiful smile that can light up the room, but discolored, chipped, cracked, and damaged teeth can become a barrier to your self-esteem. Not to mention these dental problems can negatively affect your oral hygiene and cause pain if not treated.

Get Ceramic Crowns at Our Macon Office

At Walker Dental Group, we want you to look and feel your best no matter what. Our ceramic crowns have two key purposes: making your teeth stronger and aiding in the overall cosmetic appeal of your teeth. The ceramic crowns we offer are made from a blend of ceramic and porcelain, which creates a restoration that will blend nicely with the natural color of your teeth. Unlike metal crowns that may stand out, your ceramic crowns look like natural teeth. That means you can smile with confidence.

How do you place a ceramic crown?

You can expect to visit us twice for your ceramic crowns. On the first visit, we will:

• walk you through your options and ensure that you’re fully informed
• prep your damaged tooth
• take an impression of your teeth by having you bite down on impression paste (or in some cases scan your teeth for virtual impressions)
• fabricate and place a temporary crown
  

When you come on your second visit, we will remove the temporary crown and place your permanent crown. Your ceramic crown will fit just like your natural tooth.

How long do ceramic crowns last?

With proper dental hygiene, your ceramic crowns may last for many years. While that may sound like forever, it’s important to remember that it isn’t. You may expect to need crown repair or replacement in your lifetime since wear and tear is normal.

Can ceramic crowns chip or crack?

Yes. While unlikely, ceramic crowns can be susceptible to both cracking and chipping, just like your teeth. Although your crowns will be long-lasting if you take care of them, accidents can still happen.
