What Is a Porcelain Crown?

Porcelain crowns are a type of dental crown cemented over damaged teeth to restore appearance and functionality.

Porcelain crowns have a translucent color and are considered one of the most aesthetically pleasing dental crowns. [1]

There is porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crown where porcelain is fused as a covering over a metal shell that fits over the tooth.

These crowns provide excellent aesthetics and strength. [2]

How Long Do Dental Porcelain Crowns Last?

75 – 90% of porcelain and porcelain fused material crowns last over ten years. [6]

Crowns experience wear and tear and will need replacement eventually.

However, properly fitted ceramic crowns in Phuket function like your natural healthy teeth and can last several years.

Small chips in crowns can be repaired with composite resin, while larger chips may require replacing the crown altogether.

Remember: If you don’t practice proper dental hygiene, you can get tooth decay and cavities under the crown, leading to the removal of the crown.

Check out the primary aftercare tips for maintaining dental crowns.

Are Porcelain Crowns Safe?

Porcelain crown treatments in Phuket are safe. The procedure and the materials used in making porcelain crowns are FDA-approved. [7]

There are always some risks associated with any dental treatment, but teeth capping are routine procedures, and our crown dentists in Phuket have a wealth of experience in this area.
