A ceramic patch is a thin layer of porcelain covering used to improve the appearance of teeth. They can be used to repair minor defects such as discolored teeth, minor gaps, or irregular shapes. The ceramic patch installation process usually requires two to three visits. First, the dentist will slightly modify the surface of the tooth to make room for the patch. The customized ceramic patch is then bonded to the teeth. This type of treatment can significantly improve the beauty of a smile while protecting natural dental structures. Ceramic patches are durable and resistant to staining, and can provide you with a beautiful smile for a long time.
