Porcelain/Ceramic dental crowns for strength, durability and natural appearance

 

There are many different types of Dental Crowns that are available today. The type of crown utilized during your dental crown procedure will depend on your unique needs and goals, as well as the recommendation of your dentist.

All-Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns are the most beautiful crowns used these days. The ceramic crowns are made of porcelain, resins, or dental ceramic materials. They create an extremely natural-looking appearance and are typically used on front teeth. The tooth-colored ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of your natural teeth. The size and shade can be carefully matched to complement the rest of the smile. However, ceramic dental crowns are not as resilient as metal crowns and do not function as well on back teeth, which sustain a lot of pressure from biting and chewing.

 

The Ceramic or Porcelain Crown is a great alternative for treatment of teeth which are visible. This is because the porcelain or Ceramic crowns mimic the appearance of natural teeth. It has enamel like appearance that makes it suitable for repairing the teeth that is visible as the difference between porcelain teeth and natural teeth cannot be made out.
