Porcelain veneers can also be made from composite resin layered directly on to your tooth.

Porcelain crowns

Porcelain dental crowns re-establish the original structure and function of the tooth, replacing the exterior portion to create a natural appearance. Crowns are the best treatment where decay has destroyed most of the tooth, where there has been trauma to the tooth, causing damage, or in cases of severe enamel erosion. Porcelain crowns can also be an option for people who grind and clench their teeth to the extent that the original structure of their teeth has been compromised.

The great benefit of porcelain crowns is not only the fact that they can replicate the function of the original tooth, but they are also designed to look like the original, or even better! Porcelain crowns can be used to cover up the front portion of the tooth that has some visible flaws, improving the overall aesthetics of the smile.

Benefits of porcelain crowns:

• Improved appearance – Porcelain crowns are tooth coloured, smooth and are made to blend in almost perfectly with natural teeth. The natural appearance of porcelain crowns is beneficial for patients who require dental work in the front of their mouth, where it would be easy to see.
• Durable and strong – Porcelain crowns are nearly as strong as natural tooth enamel, which is one of the hardest materials on the human body. These crowns can withstand years of wear and are sturdy enough to repair broken or missing teeth.
• Natural feeling – Porcelain crowns have a much more natural feel than other options. They can be custom designed specifically to fit the shape, appearance and functionality of the patient’s tooth. The durability and feel of the crowns resemble that of your natural teeth.

Porcelain crowns are a great option for recreating the functional form of your natural teeth and are also a great aesthetic option.
