Ceramic Crowns on Dental Implants
Ceramic crowns on dental implants provide a highly aesthetic, durable, and biocompatible solution for replacing missing teeth. These crowns are securely attached to titanium or zirconia implants, offering a natural-looking restoration that functions just like a real tooth. Ceramic crowns are ideal for patients seeking a metal-free, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing solution for their smile.
How Long Do Ceramic Crowns on Implants Last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, ceramic crowns on implants can last 15 to 20 years or even longer, thanks to their high durability and resistance to staining and wear. Factors such as oral hygiene, dietary habits, and lifestyle choices can influence their longevity.
