Porcelain Crowns can make a Tooth Look Better
|
 Dental crowns are not only for those patients that have a root canal or severely decayed tooth; they can also be used for cosmetic enhancement. Dental crowns can be made to look just like a natural tooth, allowing you to have a pleasing smile and the durable strength that you need in your teeth. People that typically obtain crowns for cosmetic purposes are those that grind their teeth or those that have teeth that have been chipped or cracked.
Crowns can Mimic Tooth Surface
A porcelain crown can mimic the exact look of your other teeth on the exterior; it can also allow the tooth to restore its function. Porcelain crowns are similar to porcelain veneers because they restore the appearance of a tooth, but they also provide the tooth with function, due to its durability, which veneers cannot do.
Natural Appearance Restored with Dental Crowns
What is the main difference between traditional metal crowns and porcelain crowns? Namely, their appearance. Metal crowns are a sure giveaway that you had dental work done and lost part of your tooth. Metal crowns are not natural looking and can be an eyesore, depending on where they are located in the mouth. Porcelain crowns, on the other hand, look exactly like a tooth and make it much less obvious that any dental work was completed in your mouth.
Porcelain crowns have many uses, including the standard uses for a crown, which is replacing a severely decayed or damaged tooth. The main difference in this type of crown is its ability to add to the aesthetic appeal of a smile while restoring the function of a tooth at the same time.
