Top 6 Benefits of Restoring Your Front Teeth with Porcelain Crowns

Tooth damage or loss rarely strikes predictably. Your front teeth, the cornerstone of your beautiful smile, are as vulnerable as those in the back. Therefore, when restoring your front teeth, especially those within the smile zone, finding a suitable dental crown is vital for functionality and aesthetics.

Porcelain crowns at Piney Creek Family Dentistry in Centennial, Colorado, present a viable solution for restoring your front teeth. Expertly placed by Dr. Tiffany Fritz, porcelain crowns restore your front teeth for seamless results.

Porcelain crowns benefits

You will achieve the following benefits when you restore your front tooth with a porcelain crown.

1. Aesthetics

Front teeth are highly visible whenever you open your mouth, making them crucial in aesthetics. Porcelain crowns are crafted to closely resemble natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency. When placed over the front teeth, porcelain crowns can effectively cover imperfections, such as fractures, cracks, or stains, while blending seamlessly with adjacent teeth.

2.  Superior strength

Front teeth are subjected to everyday biting and cutting forces, requiring a resilient crown to withstand the pressures of daily use. Porcelain crowns are created from lightweight materials, but they are incredibly strong and can endure the everyday use of your teeth without compromising their integrity.

This resilience ensures durable functionality, allowing you to preserve your chewing and speaking ability for many years. 

3. Biocompatibility

Dentists have been restoring smiles with metal crowns created from gold and other materials for years. Metal crowns are long-lasting, but some patients react to metal, resulting in adverse symptoms like itching. 

Porcelain crowns are crafted from “tissue-friendly materials,” making them hypoallergenic. With no metal content, porcelain crowns significantly reduce the risk of allergies, ensuring a safe and comfortable option for tooth restoration.

4. Stain resistance

Maintaining a flawless smile is essential, especially for front teeth. Porcelain crowns are resistant to tooth discoloration. This way, you’ll maintain a white, bright smile despite your love for coffee, wine, and other strongly pigmented foods.

However, adhere to optimal oral hygiene and keep up with your bi-annual dental cleanings to maintain an evenly stain-free smile. Optimal dental care keeps your crown and natural teeth looking and feeling healthy. 

5. Precision fit and comfort

Porcelain crowns are moldable, making them easily customizable to fit your tooth precisely. By combining advanced imaging technology with artistic skills, our doctor can design and place a front crown that fits snugly.

Besides a comfortable fit, a perfectly fitting crown promotes oral health by preventing unwanted bacteria and food debris from accumulating around the restoration.

6. Longevity

Porcelain crowns can last 15-plus years with proper care. With conscientious at-home oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding poor oral habits, porcelain crowns can last many years, providing fantastic value for your investment.
