Serving patients from Dublin, Hilliard, and nearby communities, our team combines advanced restorative dentistry with artistry to help you enjoy a strong, beautiful, and lasting smile.
What Are Porcelain Restorations?
Porcelain restorations are custom-made dental restorations designed to repair or replace teeth while maintaining a natural look. This versatile material can be used for dental crowns, porcelain veneers, inlays, onlays, or dental bridges, offering durable and aesthetically pleasing results.
Porcelain is often considered the material of choice in cosmetic dentistry because it reflects light much like natural tooth enamel. Each restoration is carefully matched to the color and shape of your natural tooth structure, so your smile looks balanced and authentic.
Whether you need a crown to strengthen a damaged tooth, veneers to improve the shape and color of your front teeth, or a bridge to replace missing teeth, porcelain provides both strength and beauty for long-term results.
Why Patients Choose Porcelain
Porcelain offers a combination of durability and realism that few other materials can match. Patients often choose porcelain restorations because they:
These qualities make porcelain one of the most popular choices in modern restorative dentistry for both functional repairs and aesthetic improvements.
Dental Concerns Porcelain Restorations Can Fix
Porcelain can be used to restore and protect your smile in many ways, including:
- Strengthening a tooth weakened by decay, large fillings, or injury
- Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge or implant-supported crown
- Improving the shape, size, or color of a natural tooth with porcelain veneers
- Restoring a tooth after a root canal for long-term protection
- Repairing tooth damage while preserving healthy tooth structure
Each restoration is tailored to your needs, providing a custom restoration that restores balance and enhances your confidence.
The Porcelain Restoration Process
Your restoration begins with a consultation to evaluate your goals and oral health. After designing your treatment plan, our team takes digital impressions or molds of your teeth, which are sent to a trusted dental lab. There, your porcelain restoration is crafted from high-quality dental porcelain or ceramic materials.
Once your restoration is ready, we’ll bond it securely in place and adjust it for comfort and function. With proper care, your porcelain crowns, veneers, or bridges can last for many years, preserving both your smile and oral health.
Caring for Your Porcelain Restorations
Porcelain restorations are strong and durable, but good oral hygiene helps them last longer. Brush twice daily, floss carefully around the gum line, and visit our office for routine dental care. Avoid chewing ice or using your teeth to open packages, as these habits can stress your restorations.
When appropriately maintained, porcelain can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer, while keeping your smile bright and natural.
