Metal-Free Crowns & Veneers in Stuart, FL — Beautiful and Biocompatible
If you need a crown or are considering veneers, you don’t have to choose between strength and aesthetics — or compromise your health. At Balanced Dental in Stuart, FL, Dr. Jackson uses all-ceramic and porcelain materials that are as strong as they are beautiful, and completely free of metal. It’s the holistic choice for a lasting, natural-looking smile.
Why Metal-Free:
- No metal means no risk of allergic reactions or metal taste
- Ceramic is biocompatible — your body responds to it like a natural tooth
- Indistinguishable from natural teeth — no dark lines at the gumline
What to Expect
Crowns typically require two visits: preparation and a temporary crown, then final placement of your custom ceramic restoration. Veneers are crafted to your specifications — we discuss shape, shade, and size with you every step of the way. The result is a restoration that looks and functions like a real tooth.
Frequently Asked Question
Are ceramic crowns as strong as metal ones?
Modern all-ceramic crowns are exceptionally strong and suitable for most locations in the mouth, including back teeth. Dr. Jackson will advise if a specific situation calls for a different material.
What's the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used to restore damaged, decayed, or weakened teeth. A veneer covers only the front surface and is primarily cosmetic — improving shape, color, and symmetry.
How long do ceramic crowns last?
With good care, 10–15 years or more. Avoiding extreme biting forces (ice, hard candy) extends their life.
Can veneers fix gaps, chips, and discoloration all at once?
Yes — veneers are versatile. A smile makeover consultation will show you exactly what’s possible.
Is this covered by insurance?
Crowns placed for restorative reasons are often partially covered. Veneers are typically cosmetic and not covered. Call (772) 247-2407 for details.
