Can porcelain teeth be repaired?

There are now various cosmetic restoration methods for teeth, and porcelain tooth restoration is one of the most widely used methods. It can solve a wide variety of dental problems and is a tooth restoration technology that is attached through metal baking. Porcelain teeth can repair many dental problems and have many advantages compared to other dental restoration methods, but they also require careful care.

1. The appearance is realistic and beautiful, and the color can be adjusted to the same color as real teeth. Of course, the color of all-ceramic teeth is more ideal, and the refractive index is almost the same as that of real teeth.

2. Strong and wear-resistant, with extremely high strength. After the gold and ceramic powder are melted together at high temperature, they are enough to withstand the chewing force in the mouth. The bonding force between precious metals and ceramic teeth is even stronger.

3. Good biocompatibility, no irritation to oral tissues, especially porcelain teeth and all-ceramic teeth made of precious metals, which are corrosion-resistant due to their electrical and chemical inertness and have no tissue allergies. However, after wearing ordinary stainless steel porcelain teeth for a period of time, a dark gray edge can be seen on the gum margin.

4. Easy to clean;

5. It can not only restore the function of teeth, but also has the effect of beauty;

6. The edge tightness is much better than that of traditional restorations, and it has good edge sealing. The production of porcelain teeth requires edge fitting. Adding a special non-water-soluble adhesive material 1mm below the gums ensures the sealing of the edges.

7. Protect the hard tissue and pulp of the tooth. Because the teeth that need to be made into porcelain teeth are often discolored and have a lot of caries. After the porcelain crown is completed, the entire real tooth is surrounded by gold in the middle. The force of chewing acts on the crown and it will not break or collapse. The adhesive and porcelain layer of the porcelain crown have good insulation properties, which prevents external stimuli from damaging the pulp.

It should be noted that porcelain teeth need to be installed after periodontal disease is cured, because periodontal disease often causes gum atrophy and the formation of periodontal pockets. Adding veneers and porcelain crowns to such teeth will further increase the periodontal burden and aggravate periodontal disease. When wearing porcelain teeth, you must take good care of your teeth, otherwise you will not be able to achieve the purpose of whitening your teeth.
