What is aesthetic dental porcelain?

Aesthetic dental porcelain is a type of dental crown made entirely of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and metal, designed to cover the entire surface of a natural tooth, helping to protect it and enhance its appearance.
Porcelain crowns not only meet aesthetic demands but also ensure durable, long-lasting chewing function.

Advantages of aesthetic dental porcelain

1. Enhanced aesthetics:

   • Helps teeth look naturally white and evenly shaped, covering imperfections such as gaps, misalignment, and severe discoloration.

2. Restores chewing function:

   • Porcelain crowns have high hardness and strength, ensuring chewing performance similar to natural teeth.

3. High durability:

   • High-quality porcelain crowns can last from 10 to 20 years if properly cared for.

4. Good biocompatibility:

   • Porcelain materials do not irritate the gums or negatively affect oral health.

5. Addresses various dental issues:

   • Covers large cavities, cracked or broken teeth, worn teeth, or cervical abrasion.

Common types of dental porcelain

1. All-ceramic crowns:

   • Made entirely from high-quality porcelain, offering natural color and preventing dark gum lines.
   • Examples: Cercon, Zirconia, Emax crowns.

2. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns:

   • Have a metal core with an outer porcelain layer.
   • More affordable, but may cause dark gum margins over time.

3. Titanium porcelain crowns:

   • Framework made from titanium alloy, lightweight and highly biocompatible.
   • High durability with reasonable cost.

When should you get aesthetic dental porcelain?

• Teeth that are severely discolored or stained and cannot be whitened.
• Mildly misaligned or gapped teeth, for patients who do not want orthodontic treatment.
• Teeth with large cavities or teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and need protection.
• Chipped, broken, or severely worn teeth.
• Those who want to improve their smile and boost confidence in communication.

Procedure for aesthetic dental porcelain

1. Examination and consultation:

   • The dentist examines oral health and advises the most suitable type of porcelain crown.

2. Tooth preparation and impression:

   • Gently grinding the outer enamel layer to create space for the porcelain crown.
   • Taking dental impressions to fabricate a well-fitting crown.

3. Temporary crown placement:

   • Protects the prepared tooth while waiting for the final crown.

4. Try-in and crown placement:

   • Checking the crown to ensure proper bite, color, and shape.
   • Securing the crown with specialized dental cement.

5. Follow-up and adjustment:

   • Re-evaluation after placement to ensure comfort and long-term aesthetics.
