All-Ceramic Crown

Váš krásný úsměv provides all-ceramic crown restorations for damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised teeth. All-ceramic crowns offer superior natural aesthetics — matching tooth colour and translucency — without the grey gum line associated with older metal-fused porcelain crowns. Crowns are fabricated in a dental laboratory from precise impressions or digital scans and cemented permanently over the prepared tooth.

An all-ceramic crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth above the gum line, restoring its form, function, and appearance. Váš krásný úsměv uses modern all-ceramic materials (zirconia or lithium disilicate, e.g. e.max) that replicate the optical properties of natural enamel — including light transmission, depth of colour, and surface lustre — without the metal substructure that creates the opaque grey shadow at the gum margin seen with older porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. **Indications for a crown:** - Severely broken or cracked tooth that cannot be restored with a filling - Tooth significantly weakened after root canal treatment - Severely worn teeth from bruxism or acid erosion - Aesthetic reshaping of misshapen or severely discoloured teeth - Abutment teeth for a fixed bridge **Procedure (typically 2 appointments):** 1. First visit: tooth preparation (reducing the outer surface to make room for the crown), digital scan or impression, shade selection, temporary crown fitted. Lab fabrication (1–2 weeks). 2. Second visit: temporary crown removed, permanent all-ceramic crown tried and adjusted for fit, bite, and colour, then permanently cemented. **Composite overlay alternative:** For less severely damaged back teeth, a composite overlay (from 9,815 Kč) provides a more conservative partial coverage restoration without the full circumferential reduction required for a crown. **Longevity:** All-ceramic crowns typically last 10–20+ years with proper oral hygiene.
