How to learn the concept of porcelain crowns?
Porcelain crowns are a method to help restore chewing function and aesthetics for cases where teeth have defects. Porcelain teeth will bring a more beautiful shape and color to real teeth, meeting the same eating function as real teeth.
To make porcelain teeth, the doctor will need to perform the procedure of grinding real teeth at a certain rate, not exceeding 2mm. Then, a porcelain crown is placed on top to ensure fit, harmony and high aesthetics. Bringing absolute confidence to all customers in the porcelain dental service.

Therefore, it can be seen that the medical-standard porcelain dental crown procedure will play an important role in your health.

- General examination from the doctor to evaluate the dental situation, then send the patient for an X-rayng. From those results, the examination will help the doctor be able to give the most specific comments and advice for each patient.
- Clean oral hygiene, especially in the area that needs porcelain crowns.
- Administer anesthesia and perform the tooth grinding step: Anesthesia will help the patient not feel uncomfortable during the process of grinding the tooth, then the doctor will use specialized dental tools to grind your teeth. At reputable dental facilities, the grinding rate is carefully calculated to help preserve maximum natural teeth.
- Taking jaw impressions and designing porcelain crowns: The doctor takes jaw impressions to send to the lab for tooth design. To ensure that the chewing process and aesthetics are not affected, the patient will be fitted with temporary teeth and then scheduled to have complete teeth fitted.
- Attach porcelain crowns to the teeth, after the Lab sends the processed porcelain crowns. The doctor will evaluate and see if the tooth is crooked or has any problems when attached. If the customer is satisfied, it will be permanently attached to the tooth post. Otherwise, the porcelain crown will be sent back to the lab for appropriate adjustments.
- Oral care instructions and follow-up appointment: When the porcelain tooth process is completed, the doctor can advise on ways to care for your teeth so as not to cause damage and maximize the preservation of real teeth. Finally, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled every 6 months to clean the teeth as well as check the condition of the porcelain teeth.
