Porcelain tooth application is one of the dental crown methods applied in case the teeth lose their aesthetic appearance and functionality. Promising good results in terms of smile design increase the preference for this application. Moreover, it not only eliminates aesthetic concerns but also provides a healthier oral condition and more beneficial use by restoring tooth functionality.

What is Porcelain Tooth?

The tooth may lose its functionality and dental alignment problems may occur for various reasons. These problems may also be congenital due to genetic factors. With the porcelain tooth treatment, the problematic tooth look is restored. Presenting aesthetic tooth appearance together with functionality makes porcelain tooth treatment distinctive.

Types of Porcelain Tooth

Since porcelain teeth are produced by combining different elements, there are different types of them. Metal alloy porcelain teeth, titanium-containing porcelain teeth, gold-alloyed porcelain teeth, zirconium-containing porcelain teeth, and metal-free porcelain teeth can be produced in the laboratory environment. Types of teeth can be effective on porcelain tooth prices. It should be added at this point that the dentist's experience, the number of porcelain teeth, and whether different dental treatment procedures will be applied can affect the cost of porcelain teeth.

Porcelain Dental Treatment

Metal and non-metal materials are used in the porcelain dental procedure. Various elements are fused at high temperatures, resulting in porcelain. An important feature of porcelain is that it can imitate the natural tooth from various aspects. For example, it has equal light transparency with tooth enamel and therefore offers a natural appearance that cannot be distinguished from the main teeth. The main purpose of this treatment is to prepare artificial teeth that are compatible with the face and mouth and apply them to the patient.

During the porcelain dental treatment, the dentist examines the patient. If the patient's oral cavity is not suitable for this treatment, the correction is made first. At this stage, it is decided whether the patient's condition is suitable for treatment or not. The inside of the mouth is measured and as a result of this data, porcelain teeth are prepared in the laboratory. If the dentist deems it necessary, he can also make a temporary tooth veneer for wearing during the artificial tooth production before placing the permanent porcelain teeth. Prepared porcelain teeth are cemented on the damaged surface. Veneers are cemented to the enamel one by one, and carefully. If conditions require, veneers can be reshaped. After these stages, the treatment is completed. Since the operation is performed under anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain. After the dental operation, the patient returns home.
