Porcelain Dental Crown

Overview

Porcelain crowns are full-coverage restorations prized for their lifelike surface and light behaviour. They can rebuild a damaged tooth or refine a cosmetically compromised one, blending with neighbouring teeth.

Depending on the case, porcelain may be all-ceramic or bonded to a supporting core. Your dentist will recommend the construction and material best suited to the tooth’s position and function.
