What is cosmetic porcelain teeth?
Cosmetic porcelain teeth are a form of restoring the shape and function of one or more teeth damaged by various factors. Or simply want to change the color of the teeth to make the smile more aesthetic.
Porcelain dental aesthetics is performed by using a fake porcelain crown that has the same color and shape as a real tooth, with a hollow core inside to cover the outside of the real tooth. The real tooth is now ground down to the ratio to ensure a tight fit with the porcelain crown. After restoration, the teeth will be returned to their original state, even more beautiful than before.

Current porcelain dental cosmetic methods
The dental industry is currently making great strides to meet the increasing demands of customers. Thanks to that, porcelain teeth aesthetics have also been upgraded with many different forms, giving customers a variety of choices depending on the requirements and conditions of each person.

Porcelain crowns
Porcelain crowns are the first restorative solution in the cosmetic porcelain industry. Porcelain crowns help restore the shape, color and function of teeth by using a porcelain crown with a thickness of 0.8 – 1.2 mm to cover the outside of a real tooth that has been ground down.
-
Although porcelain crowns help to bring white, even teeth and restore better chewing ability; however, this method still has a drawback. That is, the tooth grinding ratio is quite high because the porcelain crown is relatively thick. Therefore, if the doctor is not skilled, the technique is not specialized, it can cause pain, gingivitis, and even the most dangerous is the death of the tooth pulp, greatly affecting the patient’s health.
-
Veneer
Porcelain veneers are considered the optimal dental aesthetic solution that preserves the original teeth and pulp. With porcelain veneers, the tooth grinding ratio is reduced to a minimum of only 0.1 – 0.3 mm , thereby helping to preserve almost the entire original teeth and the pulp is not affected. In some cases, there is no need to grind, only sanding to create a strong adhesion for the porcelain teeth.
Although it has many advantages, porcelain veneers are only suitable for cases of slightly crooked, misaligned, spaced or discolored teeth. Or for teeth that are even but need to improve their color. It cannot be applied to severely misaligned teeth.
