Cosmetic Porcelain Crowns
Currently, the demand for cosmetic porcelain crowns is on the rise. However, do you fully understand what porcelain crowns are and when you should consider getting them? Let New Gate International Dental Clinic clarify for you!
Porcelain crowns are artificial teeth made from porcelain that resemble the color and shape of natural teeth. They are used in cosmetic restoration cases, such as damaged teeth, tooth loss, or correcting dental imperfections.
Porcelain crowns consist of two main components:
Currently, there are various types of porcelain crowns available in the market, each with different origins and qualities. Let’s explore some of the most popular types of porcelain crowns today with New Gate International Dental Clinic.
Zirconia porcelain crowns are made from 100% Zirconia material (ZrO2), an oxide of the metal Zirconium (Zr). These crowns are known for their strength and natural white color, resembling real teeth. Therefore, Zirconia porcelain restorations ensure both aesthetic appeal and durability, providing safety throughout their usage.
Full porcelain crowns are crafted entirely from pure porcelain, both the internal framework and the outer enamel layer. They have a natural color that perfectly matches real teeth. They offer high strength and durability, allowing you to eat hard foods without worrying about chipping or discomfort. Additionally, due to advanced crafting technologies, these crowns have exceptional precision and refinement. The most remarkable feature of full porcelain crowns is their thin crowns, which can be as thin as 0.3 mm, minimizing tooth reduction and maximizing the preservation of the natural tooth and pulp.
Common types of full porcelain crowns include: Cercon HT, Ceramil, Nacera, HT Smile, Emax, Lisi, and more. Patients are advised to visit reputable dental clinics for professional examination and advice on the suitable type of porcelain crowns.
Currently, metal porcelain crowns are the most popular due to their affordability, making them accessible to the majority of users. These crowns have a framework made from metal compounds like Nickel-Chromium, Chromium-Cobalt, or Titanium, covered with an aesthetic ceramic layer, Ceramco 3. However, in terms of aesthetics, metal porcelain crowns do not have the natural appearance of full porcelain options. The average lifespan of this type of porcelain crowns can range from 5 to 10 years or longer, depending on care and maintenance.
