Porcelain Crowns
Crowns (also known as “caps”) are used to restore teeth with large fillings and unsupported tooth structure or broken-down teeth. The crowns we provide at Vienna Family Dentist are made of all porcelain, gold with porcelain or all gold.
There are benefits to metal-free crowns including less material needed to create the crown, which makes them a good choice in limited space areas of the mouth. Porcelain crowns are also more translucent which allows light to better pass through the crown - offering a more life-like appearance.
While porcelain crowns have their benefits, other crown options may still be a better alternative in some areas of the mouth - particularly the molars which do all the heavy chewing and therefore need a more substantial and durable material.
