Made of durable material, these dental crowns can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use while also providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing option.

Are There Any Drawbacks of Porcelain Crowns?
There are some drawbacks of porcelain dental crowns, including: | • |
Porcelain dental crowns can be more expensive than other types of dental crowns, such as metal or resin-bonded dental crowns.
|
| • |
While porcelain is known for its durability, porcelain dental crowns can be prone to chipping or cracking if exposed to excessive force or if the patient has a teeth-grinding habit.

Some patients may experience sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures in the days following the placement of a porcelain dental crown.
