Porcelain Crown Porcelain crowns are a dental restoration that is used to cover teeth. They can be made with porcelain or metal, and they offer many benefits such as being more natural in appearance than other types of crowns. You will find this type of crown at our office if you have a tooth that needs to be replaced due to decay, injury, or disease. Porcelain crowns should not be confused with porcelain veneers which are only used on the front teeth and do not involve any kind of surgery. At Highridge Dental Care, we have professionals who have years of experience working with porcelain crowns.Why do I need a porcelain crown?Porcelain crowns use tooth-colored materials and are custom-fitted to the patient's mouth. We will make an impression of your teeth, which will be sent to a lab where another technician creates the exact likeness of your bite pattern so it fits flawlessly with the rest of your smile. What are the benefits of getting a porcelain crown?The benefits of getting a porcelain crown are that it is made from an inert material and is not susceptible to bacterial decay. Porcelain also has very good aesthetics as opposed to gold, which may yellow over time or require replacement due to wear. Porcelain crowns are usually the most long-lasting option for restoring teeth because they last up to 20 years on average, depending on your oral health habits. If you take care of them with regular brushing and flossing, then their lifespan can be increased even more. Why should I choose a porcelain crown over other types of dental work?Porcelain crowns are made of high-quality porcelain that is designed to look and feel like natural tooth enamel. Porcelain can be either translucent or opaque, depending on the shade you choose. This type of crown provides a more natural appearance than other materials such as gold or silver because it blends in with your teeth without creating an obvious line between your gums and the rest of your smile. It also offers resistant qualities against staining from beverages such as coffee, tea, and red wine, which makes it a preferable option for those who enjoy these types of drinks. If you're looking for something strong enough to withstand chewing forces, then this may not be the best option for you as porcelain is fragile and can chip or crack if too much pressure is applied to it. At Highridge Dental Care, we are committed to providing the best in oral health care. We care about the appearance and health of your smile. We ensure your comfort by using only the highest quality materials and technologies so that you can enjoy long-lasting dental restorations with minimal discomfort.
