Porcelain Crown Porcelain crown placement is available to patients who have lost one or most of their teeth through breakage or decay. This treatment method involves placing a tooth-like cap that mimics your natural teeth to cover the teeth and gums. Some crowns are metallic fused porcelain, while others are pure ceramic. Ceramic crowns are preferred for the front teeth because they are more attractive than metal crowns, which are preferred for the back teeth. Many versions are available depending on the patients' requirements. If you need solutions that involve placing porcelain crowns on your teeth, our dental team at Ortega Family Dental is here to help you.Types of Porcelain CrownsThere are three common types of porcelain crowns: zirconium, empress, and E-max porcelain crowns. They vary from porcelain crowns with minimum strength, to those that are stronger and more durable. From the varieties available, you can choose or consult with our dental experts to customize them to the height of your choice. Zirconium crowns look like your natural teeth and conform well to your gums. In addition, they give your teeth great strength due to their double layer. The top layer is mainly put for aesthetic reasons, while the bottom layer is metallic to bring about stability and strength. Empress porcelain crowns are made to appear like the natural teeth and have two layers, though they have minimum strength compared to zirconium. We also do not recommend it to patients who grind their teeth. Finally, E-max layered porcelain crowns are also double layered for strength. These are made by fusing ceramics and metal crowns and creating a durable layer, making this type of crown preferred for front teeth. E-max and zirconium porcelain crown are the most modern dental restoration placements. Why Should You Choose Porcelain Crowns for Your Teeth?Our experienced dental professionals will advise you to undergo a porcelain crown treatment procedure because the porcelain fused metal crown will provide you with better aesthetics, which are durable and compatible with your natural teeth. Also, patients who have lost their teeth for whatever reason can have a correction to their smile. Through this procedure, patients can regain their previous aesthetics. In addition, porcelain crowns without metallic elements may not cause an allergy. Pure porcelain crowns are light in your mouth; hence they do not add unnecessary weight to the jaw, and unlike metal crowns, they can serve both front and back teeth without anyone noticing. Finally, porcelain crowns are considered the most beautiful crown due to the fact it is able to give that desired translucent look of natural teeth.
