Dr. Wilson and her team have high standards for the cosmetic treatments they provide. We're not happy with anything less than totally natural work. Your dental restorations should look and feel no different from your own teeth. Only a skilled dentist, careful personalization, and stellar materials can make this level of dental perfection possible. And porcelain dental restorations have provided us with that material. Read on to learn about why dental porcelain is so spectacular, and what you can expect from veneers and crowns once they're a part of your smile.

4 Superior Aspects of Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns

Veneers and crowns are two sides of the dental restoration coin. Both are appropriate for damaged but still structurally sound teeth, but crowns are heftier and provide more substantial restoration. Depending on your needs, we may recommend either or both. No matter the type of restoration, its porcelain material will make it stand out. Porcelain dental restorations are remarkable for their:

  • Thinness. Porcelain allows restorations to be thinner while still providing great durability. This means that less tooth preparation will be necessary in order for the restoration to fit over your natural tooth. You'll enjoy less drilling, less anesthesia, and the retention of more natural tooth - all while beautifying and strengthening your smile.

  • Aesthetics. Natural enamel is a beautiful thing - and it can be hard to imitate. Porcelain reflects like in the way enamel does, making it impossible to distinguish. Your restorations will be matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth, and won't stick out in any way.
  • Durability. Porcelain restorations have been shown to last decades with good oral care. Refrain from using your teeth as tools or grinding your teeth to help their lifespans!
  • Natural feel. Dental porcelain will feel no different from your enamel, and you'll eventually forget that you have dental work in your mouth at all.
