What Are Ceramic Crowns?

Ceramic crowns are artificial tooth coverings used to restore damaged or destroyed teeth.

They are made of ceramic — a material with excellent aesthetics and biocompatibility. Ceramic crowns not only imitate the natural appearance of teeth but also replicate their functional properties, making them suitable for a variety of clinical cases.

Ceramic crowns are recommended in the following cases:

• Severe tooth damage due to caries or trauma.
• Aesthetic defects such as discoloration or shape irregularities.
• The need to restore chewing function.
• Placement on implants to complete prosthetic treatment.
• Replacement of old crowns made from less aesthetic materials, such as metal.

Types of Ceramic Crowns

There are several types of ceramic crowns, which differ in composition and manufacturing method:

• All-ceramic crowns: made entirely of ceramic, providing maximum aesthetics and a natural appearance.
• Zirconia crowns: based on zirconium dioxide, covered with ceramic or fully zirconia. These crowns are exceptionally strong and durable, making them ideal for implant restorations.
• Pressed ceramic crowns: manufactured through pressing technology, ensuring high density and strength of the material.

Ceramic Crowns: Service Price and Material Cost

The cost of ceramic crown placement depends on several factors:

• The type of ceramic used.
• The complexity of the clinical case.
• The reputation of the clinic and the qualifications of the specialists.
• Additional fees may apply for preliminary procedures such as cavity treatment or tooth preparation.
