Dental ceramics are materials that are part of systems designed with the purpose of producing dental prostheses that in turn are used to replace missing or damaged dental structures. The literature on this topic defines ceramics as inorganic, non-metallic materials made by man by the heating of raw minerals at high temperatures.
Simple Tooth Ceramic Restoration is a modern dental procedure that restores decayed, broken, or damaged teeth using high-quality ceramic materials. Designed to mimic the natural color and strength of your tooth, this treatment offers both functional and aesthetic benefits with long-lasting results.
At Gnayalloor Dental Clinic, we offer high-quality ceramic restorations such as crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. These restorations are custom-made to match your natural tooth color, giving you a beautiful, seamless smile. Ceramic is biocompatible, metal-free, and resistant to stains, making it an ideal choice for both front and back teeth.
Ceramic restorations are tooth-colored, durable fillings or crowns made from porcelain or composite ceramic materials. They are an ideal solution for restoring teeth affected by cavities, minor fractures, or worn enamel. Unlike metal fillings, ceramic blends seamlessly with natural teeth and is biocompatible, making it safe and appealing.
