Dental crowns are usually made of porcelain or have a veneer of porcelain on their surface (porcelain fused to metal crowns), so that the crown's color gets matched with the rest of your teeth. Some dental crowns are constructed in a manner where their full thickness is porcelain. These crowns can possess a translucency that makes them the most cosmetically pleasing of all of the different types of dental crowns. They can be a good choice for front teeth for their natural appearance.

The advantages of Porcelain Crowns are that they are affixed to the natural tooth to enhance the shape, color or length of the tooth. Porcelain crowns are an aesthetic and durable alternative for the treatment of cracked teeth, space issues or tooth size discrepancies. What's more, porcelain crowns can correct minor alignment problems as well as tooth shapes or color.
