Crowns and veneers can be artificial coverings made of strong, natural-looking materials such as porcelain, which is durable and strong. There are a variety of materials that can be used for crowns and veneers including metal. But porcelain is the most popular material because it looks the most like natural teeth, which means you will not have to worry about your teeth looking unnatural or feeling uncomfortable.
Crowns
Crowns protect teeth from breaking or cracking and are usually placed on teeth that have very large fillings or have already started to crack. A crown is made of very strong materials and, by covering the entire tooth, it holds all of the tooth walls together, keeping them from flexing or breaking. The materials are made to match the color of the nearby teeth, so others can’t even tell it is a crown.
Porcelain crowns are a durable, long-lasting way to replace natural teeth. These crowns will last up to 20 years and late replacement is not recommended as it can cause problems with your natural teeth. Porcelain resists stains and damage as well.
Teeth that have been lost due to trauma, cavities, or other dental health problems can be replaced with porcelain crowns. Porcelain crowns are a type of tooth restoration that is typically used to replace a tooth that has been either lost completely or severely damaged from decay. Crowns cover the entire visible portion of the tooth.
