Strength and Beauty for Damaged Teeth
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
A porcelain crown, often called a “cap,” is a custom-made covering that fits securely over a damaged or treated tooth. It restores the tooth’s natural shape, strength, and appearance while preventing further damage. Porcelain crowns are widely used to protect teeth after root canal therapy, restore broken or worn-down teeth, or replace large fillings.
Porcelain is a popular material because it mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, creating a seamless look that’s indistinguishable from real teeth. These crowns are also biocompatible, which means they’re safe for gum tissue and suitable for patients with metal sensitivities.
