If you have chipped, damaged, aesthetically flawed, or broken teeth, porcelain crowns may be the perfect option to restore them.
Our dentists can match the color, translucency, and texture of porcelain crowns to the surrounding natural teeth more closely than ever before. Modern porcelain crowns provide an authentic look, making them nearly indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Porcelain crowns are durable, lifelike and efficient.
Minimally Invasive Preparations
Conservative Tooth Preparation
New porcelain materials allow for thinner yet stronger crowns, meaning that less natural tooth structure needs to be removed during preparation. This preserves more of the patient’s natural tooth, which is beneficial for long-term oral health.
Onlays and Partial Crowns
Instead of crowning the entire tooth, dentists can now use porcelain onlays or partial crowns, which cover only the damaged part of the tooth. These options are less invasive and can be more cost-effective while still offering the benefits of a full crown.
Metal-Free Crowns
Traditional crowns often used a metal base with a porcelain overlay, which could sometimes cause allergic reactions or gum discoloration (a gray line around the gums). Modern porcelain crowns are completely metal-free, which not only improves aesthetics but also eliminates concerns about metal allergies and enhances biocompatibility with the gums and surrounding tissues.
Gum Health
Because porcelain crowns are smooth and highly polished, they promote healthy gums and are less likely to irritate the surrounding soft tissues.
