What are the disadvantages of all-ceramic teeth?

Teeth are indispensable to the human body, but some people have diseased or even lost teeth due to some oral diseases, so dentures have become inevitable. Some patients will choose all-ceramic teeth, which have many advantages, such as good biocompatibility and short time required, but also have certain disadvantages, such as low wear resistance, inability to perform multi-unit restorations, and prone to allergies.

1. Advantages of all-ceramic teeth:

1. Biocompatibility: The biocompatibility of all-ceramic teeth is very good. It will not cause any damage to the teeth and deep gums, and will not leave any sequelae.

2. Short time required: It is very convenient to make all-ceramic teeth. It can usually be completed in a week. It only requires two visits. The tooth is prepared during the first visit and installed during the second visit.

3. High to mild chewing force: Although all-ceramic teeth cannot be used excessively with foods that are too hard, such as hard-shelled materials like walnuts, general foods are still completely fine, so there is no need to worry about the all-ceramic teeth collapsing.

4. All-ceramic teeth are very light and thin, and will not feel heavy. There will be no blackening, bleeding, or swelling of the gums. They are as natural as if they were grown naturally.

Disadvantages of all-ceramic teeth:

Second, the disadvantages of all-ceramic teeth

1. All-ceramic teeth are wear-resistant. The strength of all-ceramic crowns is lower than that of metal porcelain crowns, and the clinical crown refraction rate is higher than that of metal porcelain.

2. It is difficult to make multi-unit restorations. Although all-ceramic materials can also be used to make multi-unit restorations, such as three-section bridges, their failure rate is much higher than that of metal porcelain bridges. In the doctor's opinion, this is the most fatal disadvantage of all-ceramic teeth.

3. All-ceramic teeth require resin-reinforced cement. Almost all all-ceramic crowns require resin-reinforced cement to enhance their strength. Clinical applications have shown that, compared with the use of composite ions, the use of reinforced cement can lead to post-repair allergies, which sometimes require root canal treatment to resolve.

I have introduced all-ceramic teeth to you. I believe you have already understood the advantages and disadvantages of all-ceramic teeth. In fact, everything has its two sides. Although all-ceramic teeth have disadvantages, they still have many advantages. Moreover, if you find a regular dental hospital to make all-ceramic teeth, the disadvantages of all-ceramic teeth can be completely ignored. So if you want to make all-ceramic teeth, just go ahead and do it, don't worry!
