Porcelain restorations are widely used in restorative dentistry for crowns, veneers, and fillings. These restorations are made from high-quality porcelain, which closely mimics the natural appearance of teeth. They are commonly used to restore teeth that are damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised, offering both functionality and an aesthetically pleasing result.
Porcelain restorations are particularly popular for front teeth due to their ability to reflect light similarly to natural enamel. The material is durable, stain-resistant, and long-lasting, making it a great choice for cosmetic and restorative dental work.
The procedure begins with preparing the tooth by removing damaged or decayed tissue, followed by taking impressions or digital scans. The porcelain restoration is then crafted in a dental laboratory and bonded to the tooth. For veneers, a thin layer of porcelain is placed over the front of the tooth for a seamless appearance.
Porcelain restorations provide an excellent combination of strength, aesthetics, and biocompatibility, restoring the function and appearance of teeth with minimal impact on surrounding oral health.
