Why Porcelain Crowns Are a Great Choice for Front Teeth

Dental crowns have long been used as a treatment for repairing damaged teeth. Dr. Rekha Mahajan provides a variety of crowns to address various dental needs. For back teeth, such as those responsible for most chewing, metal or porcelain fused to metal crowns provide superior protection due to their strength in withstanding the pressure of biting and chewing. However, front teeth crowns must be functional and aesthetically pleasing to fit in well with your smile. That’s where porcelain crowns come in.

Porcelain crowns closely resemble the physical characteristics of natural teeth – their color, sheen, texture, etc. By matching your crown’s color, size, and shape to that of your natural teeth, Dr. Mahajan can create a restoration that fits your smile seamlessly. No one will be able to tell the difference.

Here are several reasons why porcelain crowns are an excellent choice for front teeth:

1. Natural Esthetics

Porcelain crowns can be easily customized to take on the attributes of your teeth, making them the perfect choice to restore your smile’s natural beauty. A porcelain crown will restore your tooth’s original shape, texture, and color or even improve these features, if needed, to enhance your smile’s appearance. When it comes to esthetics, it’s hard to match the beauty of a porcelain crown.

2. Strength and Durability

Front tooth crowns must also be strong because front teeth serve a functional purpose beyond appearance. Porcelain crowns are strong and durable, restoring your ability to bite and chew. Porcelain front tooth crowns resist stains, chips, and breakage and will retain their health and beauty for years.

3. Biocompatibility

Porcelain crowns are 100% biocompatible with your body and won’t trigger allergies. A custom-designed porcelain crown will fit comfortably over your tooth, posing no risk to gum tissue or surrounding teeth. Dr. Mahajan will ensure your crown is made with precision and accuracy for comfort, performance, and beauty.

4. Value

With proper oral care, a porcelain crown can last over 15 years, making it a valuable investment in your smile’s future. Crowns enhance your smile’s appearance and contribute to long-term oral health maintenance. Crowns protect damaged teeth from decay, infection, and future injury, so they can continue to be useful for years to come.
