Porcelain crown is a dental restoration method in which a small part of the natural tooth is trimmed, then a porcelain crown is placed over it to restore the shape, color and function of the tooth. The crown can be made from various high-quality materials, ensuring durability and providing natural translucency like real teeth.
With the development of 4.0 dental technology, the aesthetic porcelain crown procedure today is much faster, more precise and less invasive. Customers can complete the process in just one or two appointments. Porcelain crowns also help protect the natural teeth inside, prevent damage and bring confidence in daily communication.

At Dr.Smile, customers can choose between two main types of crowns: metal-ceramic crowns and all-ceramic crowns.
Metal-ceramic crowns are a type of dental crown with an inner metal framework (such as Nickel – Chromium, Titanium or Cobalt – Chromium) and an outer porcelain layer that mimics the natural color of real teeth. This structure provides high strength, excellent chewing durability and a more affordable cost compared to all-ceramic crowns.
Advantages:
– Affordable price, suitable for most customers.
– Relatively high durability, resistant to strong chewing forces and long-term wear.
Disadvantages:
– Over time, the crown may discolor or darken near the gumline due to metal oxidation.
– May cause mild irritation to the soft tissues inside the mouth in some sensitive cases.
All-ceramic crowns are made entirely from high-quality ceramic materials without any metal framework inside. This type of crown is often preferred in aesthetic dental treatments for front teeth or by patients who seek the most natural appearance.
Advantages:
– Natural translucency and color, providing excellent aesthetics.
– No dark gumline since there is no metal inside.
– High biocompatibility, causing no irritation to soft tissues in the mouth.
– Long-lasting durability and color stability over time.
Disadvantages:
– Higher cost compared to metal-ceramic crowns.
– More prone to chipping or cracking if exposed to excessive force or improper use (such as teeth grinding or biting hard objects).
Currently, there are three premium aesthetic veneer materials widely used in modern dentistry.
The goal our clinic is provide friendly, caring dentistry and highest level of general, cosmetic, and specialist dental treatments.
