Porcelain Crown

A dental restoration that covers the entire tooth, made entirely of ceramic material (like Feldspathic porcelain or E-Max). Unlike PFM crowns, they contain no metal.

Why It Matters

They offer the best translucency, mimicking natural enamel perfectly. They are the top choice for anterior (front) teeth where appearance is critical.

Clinical Details

Strength: Lower than Zirconia or Gold; prone to fracture if used on molars in bruxers.
