Despite advances in dental care, you can lose that smile due to tooth decay, injuries, trauma from the gum line or wear and tear. Whether your tooth is discoloured from a root canal therapy, chipped, cracked, broken, or crooked, all-porcelain crowns or dental bridges in Dental Europe can restore your perfect smile.
Ceramic crowns are tooth-shaped caps used in dental restoration to correct defects on the tooth’s surface, enamel, and alignment. They are placed on top of the damaged tooth and cemented in place to restore function and aesthetics. If you have a broken tooth or your natural tooth is discoloured, chipped, decayed, or crooked, your Dental Europe dentist can recommend dental crowns. You may also need dental crowns to correct misshapen or worn-out teeth.
Similarities of porcelain veneers vs. porcelain crowns can lead to confusion. Both are colour-matched to your natural teeth to improve aesthetic and function. Dental crowns cover the entire tooth. On the other hand, porcelain veneers are super-thin shells designed to cover only the front of your teeth. Dental Europe Smile Design Cosmetic is an expert in all-porcelain crowns and veneers and uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to restore authentic smiles.
All-porcelain. These types of crowns are made from ceramic with tooth-like properties. They are translucent, so the tooth underneath determines the colour. All-porcelain crowns are ideal for front teeth restorations. Dental Europe Smile Design uses state-of-the-art dentistry to fabricate all-porcelain crowns with the desired translucent look. The main advantages of all-porcelain crowns include a lower risk of allergic reactions, reduced sensitivity, and highly biocompatible. They are aesthetically pleasing and indistinguishable from natural teeth. But all-porcelain crowns have some disadvantages, including complicated customization and the risk of cracking. The cost of all-porcelain crowns is also higher than other types of zirconium crowns.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal. This type of porcelain crown is reinforced with metals. Advantages of porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns include suitability for front and back teeth and a stronger metal frame. But the metal frame in PFM is also a disadvantage because they create dark lines. Although porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are safe, they are vulnerable to chipping and cracking and can wear down adjacent teeth.
First, are porcelain crowns strong? Yes. New generation all-porcelain crowns are durable and last around 10 years. The lifespan of a crown depends on factors like dental habits and oral health. With proper aftercare and regular dental check-ups, you can increase your crown’s lifespan to over 10 years. And how long do porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns last? The main disadvantage of porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns is the high risk of chipping, which can reduce its lifespan.
