Getting a restoration which feels and looks as good as a natural tooth can be a major game changer in your oral health and appearance. The final phase of the dental implant restoration process involves fixing an abutment and ceramic crown over the implant. All-ceramic crowns look completely lifelike because they reflect light just like your natural teeth. They don’t contain harmful metals, which block light and may contain mercury or other metal elements that may be hazardous to your health. Dr. Onatsky at New Century Dental is determined to make this process as comfortable and effective as possible. You will rediscover the magic of having a beautiful smile and the natural feel of an all-ceramic crown.
What Can I Expect From The Process?
Dr. Onatsky will remove some soft gum tissues and fix an abutment over the implant. He will take impressions of teeth and order the dental crowns to be fabricated in the lab. Afterwards, he will check the fit and finish of the new dental crown and upon confirming the perfect fit, the dental crown is fixed in place and ready to be loaded. While the entire teeth restoration process including bone grafting may take about 9 months to 1 year, the restoration part can be done in a single day using the most advanced dental implant procedures that we have available at New Century Dental.
What Makes All-Ceramic Crowns So Great?
Dr. Onatsky at New Century Dental wants you to know about the many advantages of all-ceramic crowns. You will love your new all-ceramic crowns because they are just gorgeous! All-ceramic crowns are made of translucent porcelain, so they reflect light and look just like your natural teeth. They are durable and long-lasting, with an aluminum oxide ceramic core, covered in pure porcelain. All-ceramic crowns are resistant to breakage and are comfortable — they fit better than metal crowns and are biocompatible, which helps your gums grow back around your tooth. Say goodbye to temperature sensitivity and tooth decay — with all-ceramic crowns you don’t need to worry about that. Say hello to a beautiful new smile that you can give freely to the world.
