The Cosmetic Benefits of Porcelain Crowns

August 16, 2011

Back in May, we published a post on single visit crowns. In it, we talked about how porcelain crowns can restore structure, strength, and function to a decayed or damaged tooth.

But porcelain crowns don’t just have a practical benefit—they have a cosmetic benefit as well. Because porcelain mimics the look and feel of a natural tooth better than almost any alternative, patients with porcelain crowns can look forward to enjoying a restoration that blends in seamlessly with the rest of their smile.

This is due partly to their design. The crown produced by Dr. Carmen’s CEREC machine uses a 3D image of your tooth as a guide. Moreover, your crown will be shaded to exactly match the color of your surrounding teeth, ensuring, in the process, that your restoration looks at natural as possible.
