What are Dental Ceramics?
When teeth are missing, discolored, weak, or broken, dentists often use various types of dental ceramics to restore or replace them. There are a vast variety of dental ceramics available including crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures. Each type is made specifically for an individual patient by a dental technician. The technician uses a mold provided by the patient’s dentist to ensure that each replacement is properly fitted. All dental ceramics are prescribed and put in place by prosthodontists — dentists specializing in the replacement and restoration of teeth.
