Long Description
Porcelain is a biocompatible ceramic material widely used in dentistry for its strength, durability, and ability to closely resemble natural tooth enamel. It is commonly used to create crowns, veneers, bridges, and inlays/onlays, providing both functional and cosmetic benefits.
Porcelain restorations are resistant to staining and can be customized to match the exact shade of a patient’s natural teeth. Different types of porcelain, such as feldspathic porcelain and zirconia-based ceramics, offer varying levels of strength and translucency for different dental applications.
While porcelain is highly durable, it can be brittle if subjected to excessive force. Avoiding habits like teeth grinding or biting hard objects helps maintain the longevity of porcelain restorations. With proper care, porcelain dental work can last many years while preserving the aesthetics and function of a patient’s smile.
