All Ceramic Crowns

Dental crowns are an excellent solution for restoring and protecting teeth that have been weakened by decay, damage, or previous dental work. Unlike composite fillings, which cover only a small portion of the tooth, a crown encases the entire visible part of the tooth, acting as a new outer layer. At Dr. Flynn-Nyktas’s office, our Summit dentist specializes in creating all-ceramic crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth.

Why Choose All-Ceramic Crowns?

All-ceramic crowns offer several advantages, including:

1. Natural Appearance

Crafted from high-quality porcelain, these crowns mimic the color, texture, and translucence of natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fit with your smile.

2. Strength and Durability

Ceramic crowns are strong enough to withstand everyday chewing and biting forces, providing long-lasting protection.

3. Restored Function and Comfort

Crowns restore teeth to their original shape and function, making it easier to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

4. Versatility

Whether you have a broken tooth, severe decay, or a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, an all-ceramic crown can provide the necessary restoration.

The Crown Placement Process

When you visit our Summit dentist for an all-ceramic crown, the procedure is typically completed in two appointments:

First Visit: Preparing the Tooth

During your initial appointment, the dentist will reshape the affected tooth to make room for the crown. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly with your bite and smile. This impression is sent to a trusted dental laboratory where skilled technicians will craft your permanent restoration. Before you leave, a temporary crown will be placed to protect your tooth until your final crown is ready.

Second Visit: Placing the Crown

At your follow-up appointment, our Summit dentist will remove the temporary crown and check the fit, shape, and color of the new one. Once the crown is adjusted to ensure optimal comfort and aesthetics, it will be cemented in place. This final restoration will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a functional and attractive result.
