About Full Ceramic Crowns
Full ceramic crowns are tooth-shaped caps made entirely of porcelain or ceramic materials. Unlike metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, these restorations are metal-free, providing a more natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. They are ideal for front teeth or patients with metal allergies, offering both beauty and biocompatibility.

Benefits of Full Ceramic Crowns
Full ceramic crowns not only protect and strengthen weakened teeth but also enhance your smile’s aesthetics. They are stain-resistant, durable, and closely mimic the translucency of natural enamel. With proper care, ceramic crowns can last many years while maintaining their natural beauty and functionality.
