FAQs about why porcelain sparkles as a material of choice for dental crowns
You desire and deserve to have a healthy, attractive smile for life. However, fractures, decay, and other trauma and conditions can mar the appearance of your smile and disrupt healthy function. Dr. Roya Shoffet has a versatile answer to the question, “How can you rebuild my damaged tooth?” The humble dental crown does everything from replacing large or old fillings to strengthening and preserving deeply decayed teeth. As versatile as this treatment is, there are also versatile options for the material used to rebuild your tooth. Porcelain is among the best dental crown material available at Royal Dental Practice in West Hills, Los Angeles, California. Below, we explain what makes this material shine by answering some of your most common questions about dental porcelain.
Will my crown look natural?
Certainly! There is no denying the beauty of porcelain. It is the perfect “stand-in” for natural tooth enamel. Because the color can perfectly match your other teeth, porcelain crowns, or “caps,” are indistinguishable when you smile. Plus, porcelain is the closest material that dentists have to replicate the properties of enamel. It even reflects light like a natural tooth!
How durable is porcelain?
Porcelain is not the delicate or fragile material that one may assume, especially when considering the types of high-performance, advanced ceramics that today’s dental professionals use. These ceramics have evolved to the point where they are often superior in strength and durability to metals. So, you can have the best of both worlds: unparalleled aesthetics and lasting strength.

Is it safe?
Dr. Shoffet has carefully scrutinized and selected all materials, products, technologies, and services for their safety and effectiveness. However, we appreciate that patients may be worried about the placement of metals in their mouths. They may have health concerns or worries about an adverse reaction or sensitivity to certain metals used in restorations, from fillings to crowns and implants. Ceramics are a non-metal option, meaning you can smile, laugh, enjoy your favorite foods, and otherwise function with your renewed tooth – without a cloud of concern or unease hanging over your head.
Is it true that porcelain doesn’t stain?
While porcelain looks like a natural tooth structure, it doesn’t accumulate stains the way that natural teeth do. Thus, the aesthetic benefits extend to porcelain’s strong resistance to stains. Plus, porcelain wears very well, maintaining its color and appearance for years.
Of course, as with all materials and restorations, treating your renewed teeth with exceptional care is essential. Maintain good oral hygiene at home and visit Royal Dental Practice in West Hills, Los Angeles, CA. During your routine checkups, Dr. Shoffet will evaluate the condition of your crowns and other dental work in addition to your natural teeth and gums. Our hygienists will clean your teeth and gums to remove stubborn plaque buildup and tartar that a standard toothbrush or floss can’t lift.
