White Crowns

Dental porcelain is a material used for crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, partials, and dentures. These dental restorations and prosthetics are fabricated in a dental lab from porcelain shade-matched to a patient's natural tooth enamel. So, if you need a dental crown to restore a deeply decayed, chipped, or fractured tooth, Dr. Kobak will probably suggest a porcelain crown.

Are White Crowns the Best Option?

Your front teeth show when you smile, so to correct dental damage, white crowns are ideal. People won't know that you have crowns at all.

Back teeth must endure more force than front teeth, so porcelain may not be the best restoration material for a molar. If you prefer completely white dental work, the dentist may suggest a high-tech zirconia dental crown.
