Crowns and onlays are both used to help repair a damaged tooth and ceramic crowns and onlays are able to not only restore function to the tooth in question but to improve the aesthetics as well.
Ceramic crowns and onlays are both highly durable while still being able to most accurately mimic the natural texture and aesthetic of the tooth. A ceramic crown can blend naturally in with the rest of the mouth, as there’s no unsightly black line at the gum line, making it far more discreet than more traditional crowns which are often made of metal and porcelain.
If you have a broken or damaged tooth, a filling that is failing, or a decayed tooth that can’t be restored to full function with a simple filling, then you may be in need of a crown or onlay. If that’s the case, and you want to maintain or enhance the finish of your smile, then a ceramic crown or onlay could be the answer.
