From ceramic composites to new metal alloys, they are all making better smiles that last longer and look good with minimal maintenance. But having a full set of ceramic teeth doesn’t mean regular visits to your dentist are a thing of the past for without their supervision and maintenance, these materials can fail. Don’t get me wrong, they are tough but we humans are known for being very creative when it comes to destroying tough ceramics and alloys that were designed to withstand abuse and use.

From chipped teeth due to opening beer bottles or a hard knock during adventure sports that are so extreme, insurance companies shun away from them. The regular once or twice a year visit to the dentist is still a must. The nerves and thus feeling being gone, there is no monitoring system that tells you what’s wrong with your teeth even if they are already busted beyond repair. Cleaning and repair are necessary to maintain their integrity and who knows there might be a better material that can better handle the strain of daily and extreme use we humans are always expanding on.
