A Natural Appearance for Your Patient's Smile

At Solid Bite, our Melbourne implant dentists, Dr. Lee Sheldon, Dr. Michel Furtado, and Dr. Matt Sheldon, focus on providing treatment options that not only restore function but also dramatically enhance the appearance of your patient's smile. The most significant of all porcelain crown benefits is the ability to create a seamless, natural looking restoration.

Porcelain dental crownsblend perfectly with your natural teeth and surrounding teeth, making it virtually impossible to distinguish the crown from a real tooth. This level of detail is crucial for visible teeth and is the foundation of modern cosmetic dentistry. If you have damaged teeth and want to achieve a beautiful, lifelike restoration, we invite you to contact our dentist today: We will help you restore your confidence. You can reach our dental office in Melbourneby dialing 321.259.8000.

Top Reasons to Choose All Porcelain Crowns

The following list outlines the primary porcelain crown benefits that make them the superior choice for restorative dentistry:

1. Protection of the Weak Tooth

  • Strong Foundation: A dental cap becomes necessary when a tooth is severely compromised by tooth decay, trauma, or has undergone a root canal. The porcelain crown completely covers the damaged tooth, providing a strong foundation to protect it from further damage.
  • Withstands Forces: This protection is vital because the tooth becomes brittle and susceptible to fracture. The crown ensures the weak tooth can withstand the immense biting and chewing forces of the mouth.
  • Trauma Repair: It can restore a cracked tooth by holding the remaining tooth structure together, preventing catastrophic failure.
  • Reduced Sensitivity: By covering exposed enamel or dentin, a porcelain crown often reduces the increased sensitivity a damaged tooth may have to hot and cold foods.

2. Durability and Simple Maintenance

  • Long-Lasting: Porcelain crowns are incredibly durable and designed to last for many years, often longer than two decades, with proper care. They provide a permanent crown that integrates fully into your oral health regimen.
  • Durable Materials: We use high-quality porcelain materials, including zirconia and e.Max, that are highly resistant to wear and tear. This is why most patients choose them for both front and back teeth.
  • Stain Resistant:Porcelain is highly stain resistant, ensuring your permanent crown maintains its beautiful natural appearance long after placement, unlike resin fillings or older materials.
  • Simple Maintenance: Porcelain crowns require low maintenance: you simply care for them by following good oral hygiene practices like regular brushing and flossing your natural teeth.

3. Metal-Free Comfort and Health

  • Allergy Safety: One significant advantage of all porcelain crowns is the complete absence of metal. This makes them the ideal choice for patients with concerns about metal allergies or sensitivity.
  • Biologically Inert: Because porcelain is biologically inert, most patients find that the restoration sits smoothly against the gum line and feels comfortable, similar to a natural tooth.
  • Cosmetic Benefit: There is no worry about a visible gray edge at the gum line that can occur with metal crowns or pfm crowns, which can cause patients to feel self conscious.

4. Restoring Confidence and Self Esteem

  • Cosmetic Transformation: The cosmetic and psychological benefits of porcelain are transformative. When patients have missing teeth (requiring a dental implant) or a damaged tooth in the front of the mouth, they often feel self conscious and their self esteem suffers.
  • Confidence: Porcelain crowns offer a quick solution to achieve a fully restored look that allows you to smile, speak, and chew without discomfort or fear of judgment. This boosts self esteem and dramatically improves overall quality of life.

Whether your goal is completing a dental implant with a beautiful porcelain crown or simply protecting a weak tooth after a root canal, the benefits of porcelain are clear: durable, aesthetic, and completely metal-free treatment options.
