Porcelain crowns and caps
Custom porcelain caps that fully cover a damaged or weakened tooth, with a natural-looking finish.
What is a porcelain crown?
Dental prosthesis to restore a damaged tooth or one with lost anatomy.
Porcelain is resistant and aesthetically pleasing, similar to natural teeth.
The placement process involves several stages:
- • Examination and preparation of the tooth.
- • Impression sent to dental laboratory.
- • Temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth.
- • Permanent crown placed using special adhesives.
- • Verification of fit and occlusion.
A porcelain crown is a custom cover placed over a damaged tooth to restore its form, function, and aesthetic appearance.
If you are not sure which material suits you, we explain the types of dental crowns: ceramic, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal or lithium disilicate. If strength is your priority, zirconia caps stand out for being very strong and durable. Crowns do not respond to whitening, so if you also want to whiten your teeth, it is worth bearing in mind before choosing the color.
