What Are Porcelain Dental Crowns?
A porcelain crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth. It is commonly used to:
- Protect a weakened or cracked tooth.
- Restore a tooth after a root canal.
- Cover a dental implant.
- Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
Porcelain crowns are designed to mimic the natural color, texture, and translucence of real teeth, ensuring a lifelike result.
