What Is a Porcelain Dental Crown? A porcelain dental crown is a treatment used to protect and restore teeth that have suffered significant material loss, fractures, or aesthetic problems for various reasons. The tooth is covered with a porcelain material shaped like a natural tooth. This procedure does not damage the tooth; on the contrary, it protects the tooth and extends its lifespan. Porcelain crowns can be applied for functional reasons as well as for aesthetic purposes, depending entirely on the patient’s expectations and needs. When Are Porcelain Crowns and Bridges Applied? Porcelain dental crowns and bridges may be recommended in the following cases: Mild to moderate tooth misalignment Missing teeth (bridge treatments) Tooth decay that cannot be treated with regular fillings Noticeable tooth fractures Aesthetic smile enhancement If one or more of these conditions are present, the decision to apply a porcelain crown is made jointly by the dentist and the patient after a detailed examination. Who Is Not Suitable for Porcelain Crowns? Porcelain crowns are not recommended for patients with active infections, untreated root canal requirements, or advanced gum disease. These conditions must be treated first before considering porcelain crown treatment.
