Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns, also known as ceramic crowns, are dental caps used to restore, cover, and protect damaged teeth. They are suitable for treating various issues, such as cracks or chips, deep or wide cavities, broken teeth above the gum line, and large fillings.
Benefits of porcelain crowns include:
- Appearance: Porcelain crowns can match the color and translucence of natural teeth, making them ideal for restoring teeth in visible areas of the mouth.
- Durability: With proper care, porcelain crowns can last 5–15 years, and sometimes even a lifetime.
- Protection: They protect damaged teeth from further decay or damage, helping to preserve healthy parts of the tooth.
- Low Maintenance: Porcelain crowns are easy to maintain with regular brushing and flossing.
- Comfort: They can be molded to fit the patient’s mouth perfectly.
- Non-invasive Placement: Porcelain crowns do not require the removal of healthy tooth material and are less abrasive than other materials.
