Since the early 1970's, all-ceramic crowns and veneers have given thousands of people the superior cosmetic results they desire. Because all-ceramic restorations contain no metal sub-structure, they are able to transmit the color of adjacent teeth and tooth structure. This enables them to blend more completely with the surrounding natural teeth.
In addition to their chameleon-like quality of disappearing in the mouth, these restorations have become stronger than ever. With product research and development and state-of-art cementation and bonding techniques, modern all-ceramic systems rival traditional restorations for their use in anterior bridgework. Benefits of all-ceramic materials is its high translucence and strength which makes it the go-to-material for a broad range of indications in the anterior and the posterior. Not only is it a great option for bruxisum, it's also strong, esthetic material that can be used for patients who really do not want metal placed in their mouth.
More and more the bar is being raised on what patients expect and require. All-ceramic restorations are perfect for dentists because it is stronger and biocompatible. Patients like the esthetics and can feel confident that their restoration will look great over the long-term. And with all the materials that are coming out, it's more important than ever to keep up to speed on what's available and to know what works best in different situations, so we can ensure that our dentists and their patients are provided with the best possible restorations with the best esthetic and functional result.
