Question 1: When are porcelain restorations considered beautiful?

A beautiful set of porcelain restorations are the combination of many factors: natural color, harmonious porcelain tooth shape, and an important thing that many people forget, the gums.

Gums are beautiful when they have a natural pink color, without swelling, inflammation, bleeding, ...

In order to make beautiful restorations, the doctor must have extremely precise, careful and thorough manipulations and understand the anatomical structure of the teeth and gums.

If the gums are invaded when grinding, or the porcelain restorations are manufactured with low precision, open to the roots, the results will not be long-lasting.

To achieve the best results when making porcelain restorations, Lan Anh Dental equips a laboratory to produce porcelain restorations right at the clinic, helping customers feel and know for sure that their porcelain restorations are made with the highest efforts.

In fact, the doctor is always the one who wants your porcelain restorations to be as beautiful and durable as possible! If the doctor at Lan Anh Dental thinks making porcelain restorations will not bring stable and good results in your case, he will advise you not to do it.

Question 2: How thick porcelain restorations should be?

The thickness of porcelain restorations plays an important role in the durability and aesthetics of porcelain restorations after treatment.

If the porcelain restorations are too thin, the color of the real teeth inside will be reflected, and the strength of the porcelain restorations will also be significantly weakened. Don't forget that porcelain is strong (if thick enough), but brittle and easily broken (if too thin).

In fact, if your tooth is only slightly chipped at the edge of the bite, it may be suggested to fill it with composite, and the cost is 10-time cheaper.

In contrast, too thick porcelain restorations often bring opaque tooth color, and the chewing ability is also affected.

A good porcelain restoration should have a reasonable thickness, neither too thick nor too thin.

Question 3: How strong should porcelain restorations be?

Many people think that high-class porcelain restorations must be very strong and durable. 

This is not correct

If porcelain restorations are too strong, they will break the opposing teeth when chewing, or overload the chewing and bite muscles.

The best porcelain restorations are porcelain restorations that have a strength suitable for your chewing ability, and at the same time meet the aesthetic requirements.

Thus, a very strong porcelain tooth with a lifetime warranty is not necessarily the best. It is important to keep your real teeth for a long time. If your real teeth last long, your porcelain restorations will, too.

Question 4: Which color should you choose for porcelain restorations?

In fact, there is no perfect color for everyone. Each person will have his own suitable tooth color. If you are a young, dynamic, business-like, boisterous, make-up person, bright white teeth may be suitable for you. If you like light, natural, non-glare colors, pure white natural color will make you happier.

The doctor's job is to advise you to decide which tooth color to choose so that you would look best.
