All-Porcelain crowns

Historically teeth have been repaired with metals. Silver amalgam fillings have tarnished and darkened. Gold crowns (caps) are readily visible. With an increased awareness of the importance of appearance in business and personal relations, demand has risen for more natural-looking solutions. Composite (tooth-colored) fillings and all-porcelain restorations have effectively answered the call. Different modifications to porcelain have overcome problems with strength, abrasiveness, accuracy, appearance, etc. Dentists are now successfully restoring broken-down teeth with all-porcelain crowns and onlays that look indistinguishable from natural teeth and have great longevity. Dr. Robertson has found a significant reduction in post-treatment sensitivity with procelain onlays, and a decrease in the recurrence of decay. All-porcelain restorations seem to have “cemented” their place in the repertoire of dental solutions.
