Ceramic Crowns
What Are Ceramic Crowns?
Ceramic crowns are a type of dental cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Made entirely from ceramic materials, these crowns are popular for their natural tooth-like color and translucency, making them an excellent choice for front teeth restorations. The ceramic crown is highly durable and can withstand the normal biting and chewing forces, although they require careful fabrication and placement. They are a preferred option for people allergic to metals used in other types of crowns and for those seeking a more aesthetic dental solution. Professional fabrication and placement are essential for ceramic crowns.
Advantages
Advantages of Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic dental crowns are a popular choice for restoring teeth, offering several benefits. Here’s a rundown of their advantages:
Natural Appearance
Ceramic teeth crowns mimic the translucency and color of natural teeth. Most of the time they can’t be distinguished from your natural teeth, which is especially important for front teeth restoration.
Biocompatibility
Being metal-free, crown ceramic solution is an excellent option for individuals with metal sensitivities or allergies.
Durability
They’re not just aesthetically appealing – ceramic crowns are strong and can withstand the forces of biting and chewing, making them a reliable long-term solution.
Conservative Preparation
The process of fitting a ceramic crown often requires less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to other types, preserving more of your natural tooth.
Improved Oral Health
By covering a damaged tooth, ceramic dental crown protects against further decay and strengthens the tooth.
These advantages make ceramic crowns a good option for those looking to restore their teeth’s function while maintaining a smile’s natural beauty.

Testimonials
What our clients say
My recent visit to the dentist for dental crowns exceeded all my expectations. The attention to detail and the dentist’s commitment to perfection were evident throughout the procedure. I’m genuinely impressed!
I can’t thank my dentist enough for the wonderful dental implants. The transformation in my oral health is remarkable. From the initial consultation to the final result, the entire journey was top-notch.
Remarkable how the dental crowns seamlessly blend with my existing teeth – a true testament to the dentist’s artistry. The procedure was comfortable, and I’m thrilled with my rejuvenated smile.
They are the best in this field. They provided quality service. Throughout the whole process, they support me like none other. Will surely recommend my friends and family.
Doctor Edward Doktorman luckily for me, has been my Dentist of choice for so many years. I have done multiple implants, root canals, bone graft, new posts and crowns, deep cleaning, filling, recementing, and other dental procedures in this office, and never had any issues afterwards. Dr. Edward and his staff are also great people on the personal level, very accommodating, very friendly, nice, helpful, go out of their ways to make the patient feel comfortable, and always smiling and joking with patients to lessen the stress of being at the dentist office. The Doctor always takes X-rays much more often than other dentists do before and after procedures (at no add’l cost to the patient) to make sure his work is done perfectly and satisfactorily. He always takes his time to explain in details what the diagnosis is and what needs to be done in an easy to understand language. You are no doubt in good hands with Doktorman.
From phone, to door, to chair, back to the door, this was a very positive experience. I put off a root canal for way too long. Don’t do that, by the way. Anyway, I ended up with a very angry abscess, went to one of those online doctors for $65 and got antibiotics and a dental rinse, and as soon as the swelling was sufficiently down, I decided to just have the tooth yanked. Back molar, not going to miss it too much, a lot cheaper than even going to Los Algones Mexico for a root canal which honestly these days makes a lot more sense than having it done for the higher price (even when factoring in air fare and hotel for dental tourism to Mexico) here in the States. In any case, everyone, and I mean everyone at this office is so friendly and polite and professional and efficient. It just so happened, and I certainly can’t guarantee this nor could this dentist, but I ended up being charged slightly less than the estimate they gave me. Even had it been the top and of the estimate, it’s still would have been a good deal. I would add that I am not a fan of Novocaine at all, and have had dental work done before without the shot because the regular pain I can handle, but I’m a baby about the Novocaine shot. This time I didn’t want to mess around since I was having a tooth pulled, but the dentist gave a fantastic shot and the entire procedure he did an excellent job. The healing process has been going very well with the exception of a bit of sharp bone sticking out the inner side of my gum (according to Google, this is not abnormal after a tooth extraction) and attacking my tongue on that side. I let them know about this today which is a Monday. I’m not scheduled to be back to have the stitches out until Thursday, but they told me that they would fit me in tomorrow.So let’s review: everyone in that office is friendly, professional, responsive, accommodating and efficient, the pricing is very gentle, and the dentist himself Dr. Doktorman does excellent work. So if you’re anywhere in reasonable commute distance and in need of a dentist, this seems like a pretty obvious choice. Going to a dentist is not recreational, but seriously, you’re going to be happy with them here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do ceramic crowns last?
The lifespan of ceramic crowns can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits, bite force, and the quality of the crown itself. On average, well-maintained ceramic crowns can last between 10 to 15 years or more. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral care, including brushing, flossing, and routine professional cleanings, can help prolong the lifespan of ceramic crowns.
Are ceramic crowns suitable for everyone?
Ceramic crowns are a versatile option suitable for many individuals. However, certain factors such as grinding or clenching habits, inadequate tooth structure, or specific dental conditions may affect their suitability. Your dentist can evaluate your oral health and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for you.
Are ceramic crowns noticeable?
Ceramic crowns are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in color, translucency, and texture, making them blend seamlessly with the rest of your smile. With proper customization and placement by a skilled dentist, ceramic crowns can be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, providing a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
How much are ceramic crowns?
The cost of ceramic crowns depends on several factors, including the type of ceramic used, the location of the dental practice, and any additional procedures required (such as preparatory work on the tooth or multiple crowns). Prices can vary widely, but generally, ceramic crowns tend to be more expensive than metal or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns due to their natural appearance and biocompatibility. It’s best to consult with your dentist for a personalized cost estimate based on your specific needs and circumstances.
