What are Aesthetic Porcelain Crowns?
Aesthetic porcelain crowns are a modern dental restoration method that uses a high-quality ceramic crown to cover the meticulously prepared natural tooth stump. The ceramic crown mimics the shape, color, contours, and function of a real tooth, helping to conceal aesthetic imperfections and restore chewing strength to damaged teeth.
When should you choose porcelain crowns?
- Teeth with large cavities or root canal treated: Teeth after root canal treatment are often brittle and prone to breaking; a ceramic crown helps protect the remaining tooth structure, keeping it strong and durable.
- Cracked, chipped, or severely worn enamel: Due to impact, trauma, or teeth grinding habits, causing the tooth body to break more than 1/3, which cannot be repaired with conventional fillings.
- Gapped, slightly misaligned teeth: Helps realign the tooth axis and quickly fill unsightly gaps without the need for prolonged orthodontics.
- Severely discolored, yellowed teeth: Teeth stained by Tetracycline or congenital Fluoride that cannot be whitened.
