What Is Porcelain Faced Dental Crown?
Porcelain Faced Dental Crown is a tooth-shaped cap made entirely from ceramic or zirconia materials, designed to cover and protect a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, and strength while closely mimicking the natural appearance of real teeth. These dental crowns are especially popular for their ability to blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth, making them ideal for visible areas like the front teeth.
One of the key benefits of Porcelain Faced Dental Crown is its aesthetic appeal – it provides a natural, lifelike look without the use of metal, which also makes it a great option for patients with metal allergies. It is commonly used after root canals, to repair fractured or heavily decayed teeth, or simply to improve the appearance of a misshapen tooth. While it may not be as durable as all-metal crowns for back teeth, modern materials like zirconia have significantly improved its strength and longevity.
How It Works
Porcelain Faced Dental Crown is placed over a prepared tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. The process begins with the dentist reshaping the damaged tooth and removing any decay. An impression or digital scan is then taken to create a custom-fit dental crown.
The dental crown is made from high-quality ceramic or zirconia using CAD/CAM technology or traditional laboratory methods. Once ready, the dental crown is checked for fit and colour, then permanently cemented onto the tooth with dental adhesive. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that protects the tooth and improves its function.
