All-ceramic teeth: The aristocrat in dental beauty that you must know

All-ceramic teeth, a classic in dental aesthetics. So what exactly are all-ceramic teeth? And what are their advantages? Let's take a look together with the dental experts from Nanjing 454 Hospital's Dental Center.

The outermost layer of all-ceramic teeth is made of heat-resistant ceramics used in space shuttles, while the inner layer is a gold casing that expands and contracts with the tooth in response to temperature changes. The production of all-ceramic teeth is a complex process that integrates high-temperature techniques, casting, and bonding into one high-tech product.

Firstly, your natural teeth need to be ground into a conical shape (and in some cases, the pulp may need to be removed). Then, an alloy crown (called a core crown) is cast. Afterward, ceramic material matched to the appropriate color is applied, shaped, and carved to resemble the tooth. This is then placed in a high-temperature furnace for sintering and finally mounted on the base tooth.

Advantages of all-ceramic teeth: They have a realistic and aesthetically pleasing appearance, are strong and wear-resistant, and their color closely resembles natural teeth. They also exhibit excellent biocompatibility, do not irritate oral tissues, and are easy to clean. All-ceramic teeth can restore tooth function while also serving a cosmetic purpose. Their marginal fit is significantly better than traditional restorations.

The indications for all-ceramic teeth are also broad, as they can be used to repair severe malocclusions, gaps between teeth, tetracycline-stained teeth, fluorosis, malformed teeth, and various tooth roots that cannot be filled. Due to their long-lasting aesthetic effects, all-ceramic teeth have become a classic method for cosmetic dentistry worldwide.
