Full Porcelain Crowns
Natural-Looking Restorations for a Stronger, More Beautiful Smile at Affinity Dental Clinics
A chipped, broken, or heavily restored tooth doesn’t mean the end of a confident smile. With today’s advancements in restorative dentistry, solutions like Porcelain Crowns offer patients the perfect combination of strength, beauty, and biocompatibility—restoring both function and aesthetics with a material that closely resembles natural enamel.
At Affinity Dental Clinics, located in Makati, BGC, Alabang, Ortigas, Parañaque, and Cebu, we offer expertly placed Porcelain Crowns as part of our comprehensive Prosthodontic services. Backed by years of experience, digital diagnostics, and a compassionate approach to care, our dentists can help you restore your smile to its full potential—comfortably and confidently.
What Are Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain Crowns are tooth-shaped caps made entirely of ceramic or porcelain material, designed to cover a tooth that is broken, worn down, misshapen, or extensively filled. Unlike porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, full porcelain crowns do not contain any metal and are prized for their lifelike appearance and natural translucency, making them ideal for restoring front teeth and visible areas of your smile.
When Are Porcelain Crowns Needed?
Porcelain Crowns are commonly recommended in the following cases:
• To protect a weak tooth from breaking
• To cover a tooth with a large filling
• To improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
• To complete a root canal treatment
• To restore a dental implant with a highly
aesthetic crown
Because they mimic the color and translucency of natural enamel, Porcelain Crowns are an excellent option when appearance matters—especially in the anterior (front) region of the mouth.
Why Choose Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain mimics the natural shade, texture, and translucency of enamel, making crowns virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.
Porcelain crowns are ideal for patients with metal allergies. They are tissue-friendly and gentle on surrounding gums.
Unlike metal-based crowns, porcelain allows light to pass through, preventing gumline discoloration and maintaining a natural look.
Modern porcelain is strong and wear-resistant, capable of handling normal biting and chewing forces when used appropriately.
With proper care, porcelain crowns often last 10–15 years or more, offering a reliable long-term restoration.
The Porcelain Crown Process at Affinity Dental Clinics
Receiving a Porcelain Crown typically involves two visits:
We begin with a comprehensive assessment of the tooth that needs restoration. Our dentists use digital X-rays and advanced diagnostics to determine the best course of treatment. If a Porcelain Crown is appropriate, we explain the benefits, materials, and expectations.
The tooth is gently shaped to make room for the crown. We remove any decay or old fillings and create a solid base for the crown to sit on. Local anesthesia is used to ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Once the tooth is prepared, we take high-precision impressions to ensure your crown fits perfectly. These impressions are sent to a trusted partner laboratory where the porcelain crown is custom-fabricated by skilled technicians.
While waiting for the final crown, we place a temporary one to protect the tooth and maintain aesthetics and function.
At your second visit, the temporary crown is removed, and the final Porcelain Crown is tried in. We check the fit, bite, and appearance. Once everything is perfect, the crown is permanently bonded to your tooth using high-strength dental cement.
Caring for Your Porcelain Crown
Taking care of your Porcelain Crown is just like taking care of your natural teeth:
• Floss daily to prevent gum disease and decay around the crown
• Avoid biting hard objects, like ice or pens, to prevent cracking
• Visit us regularly for checkups and professional cleaning
Our dental hygienists are trained to use gentle yet effective tools, such as Airflow Prophylaxis, to clean around crowns and prevent buildup without scratching the porcelain.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Porcelain Crowns?
Porcelain Crowns are ideal for:
However, Porcelain Crowns may not be recommended for patients who clench or grind heavily (bruxism) unless a night guard is worn, or when restoring back molars that experience high biting forces—where a zirconia crown might be a better choice.
