Vita German porcelain teeth are a product line chosen by many dental clinics in Vietnam due to their high quality and biocompatibility. Among various types of porcelain teeth, Vita German stands out for its clear origin and adherence to European standards. The following article will help you understand more about this porcelain tooth line, the crowning process, costs, and proper care at My Auris Dental Clinic.
What Are Vita Porcelain Teeth?
Vita porcelain teeth is a general term referring to high-end dental prosthetic product lines researched and manufactured by VITA Zahnfabrik. This is a world-leading reputable dental material corporation, headquartered in Germany, with a development history of over 90 years. The Vita brand not only produces one type of porcelain teeth but also offers a comprehensive system including porcelain blanks, porcelain powder, and notably, a standard tooth shade guide system recognized by the entire global dental industry.
Are Vita Porcelain Teeth Good?
Modern Vita German porcelain teeth, especially the Zirconia type, possess extremely high flexural strength, typically ranging from 800 to over 1200 MPa. This figure is many times higher than natural teeth (approximately 200-300 MPa). This superior durability provides practical benefits. You can comfortably chew various foods, including moderately tough or hard items, without worrying about the risk of cracking, fracturing, or chipping. This is a major improvement over older generation metal-ceramic materials, which were prone to deformation and had lower durability.
Furthermore, the fabrication process of Vita porcelain teeth in dental labs utilizes CAD/CAM technology. This technique ensures high precision in every detail, from shape, size to occlusal contact points.
Beyond concerns about durability, aesthetics is the main reason many people choose porcelain crowns. A beautiful smile must look truly natural, with no one realizing they are artificial teeth. This is the greatest strength of the Vita brand. VITA Zahnfabrik of Germany is not only a manufacturer of dental ceramic materials but also a pioneer in creating the Vita shade system – the gold standard in the global dental industry.
Especially for individuals with sensitive constitutions or concerns about long-term health, choosing safe materials like Vita porcelain is extremely important. Because it does not oxidize, Vita porcelain teeth will not cause black gum lines – a common aesthetic issue with metal-ceramic crowns.
Popular Types of Vita Porcelain Teeth on the Market
VITA YZ SOLUTIONS Porcelain Teeth
VITA YZ porcelain teeth are a flagship product line from the Vita brand with a flexural strength of up to 1,200 MPa, made from Zirconia (ZrO₂) ceramic material. This is a high-grade dental material, renowned for its superior durability and high biocompatibility. In the dental lab, VITA YZ porcelain blanks are processed using CAD/CAM technology to create dental crowns or bridges with almost absolute precision.
VITABLOCS Mark II Porcelain Teeth (Feldspathic Porcelain)
VITABLOCS Mark II is one of VITA’s oldest and most reliable dental ceramic materials. It belongs to the glass-ceramic group, made from Feldspathic porcelain. The most outstanding characteristic of this material is its excellent ability to optically mimic natural tooth enamel, from color, translucency to fluorescence effects under different light conditions. The flexural strength of VITABLOCS Mark II is approximately 150-160 MPa.
VITA ENAMIC Porcelain Teeth (Hybrid Ceramic)
VITA ENAMIC represents a new generation of dental materials, combining the advantages of both ceramic and polymer. It features a unique dual network structure: a Feldspathic ceramic network (similar to VITABLOCS) accounting for about 86% by weight, reinforced and permeated by a polymer network (14%). Its flexural strength is approximately 150-160 MPa. This combination creates a material with both the aesthetic appeal of ceramic and the elasticity of polymer.
VITA Porcelain Teeth Shade Guide
There are two main VITA shade guide systems widely used:
VITA Classical A1-D4
This is the classic and most common system. It categorizes tooth shades into 4 main color groups:
Group A (Reddish-brown): Includes shades A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4.
Group B (Reddish-yellow): Includes shades B1, B2, B3, B4.
Group C (Grey): Includes shades C1, C2, C3, C4.
Group D (Reddish-grey): Includes shades D2, D3, D4. Each color code represents a distinct shade, helping dentists find the closest match to the patient’s natural tooth color.
VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER
This is a more advanced system, providing superior accuracy. It does not arrange colors by tone but based on 3 attributes of the color space:
Value (Lightness/Darkness): The first step is to select the overall brightness of the teeth.
Chroma (Color saturation): After determining the lightness, the dentist will select the intensity of the color.
Hue (Color tone): Finally, the specific color tone (yellow or red) is chosen. This system allows for higher customization, creating intermediate shades that the classical shade guide does not offer. It is particularly useful in complex restoration cases requiring absolute color compatibility when crowning front teeth or teeth visible when smiling. Choosing the correct shade guide system and color code is a fundamental factor determining 50% of the success of a dental restoration.
Standard Medical Procedure for Vita Porcelain Crown Placement
Step 1: Examination, Consultation, and Treatment Planning
The dentist will conduct a general oral health examination. You will be advised to take Panorex or CT Cone Beam X-rays. The X-rays help the dentist accurately assess the condition of the teeth requiring restoration.
Step 2: Oral Hygiene, Tooth Preparation, and Impression Taking
Oral health is the top priority. Before intervention, your entire oral cavity will be thoroughly cleaned. The dentist will perform scaling and plaque removal. A sterile oral environment is a prerequisite for a safe porcelain crowning process, avoiding infection.
Next is the tooth preparation stage. Many people often worry about tooth grinding. However, with modern dental restoration techniques, the dentist will apply local anesthesia so you will not feel any pain or discomfort.
After the tooth is prepared, the dentist uses high-quality impression material or a 3D digital scanner to take an impression of your teeth.
Step 3: Shade Matching and Temporary Crown Placement
While waiting for the dental lab to fabricate the permanent Vita porcelain crown (usually taking 2-4 days), you will receive a temporary crown. The temporary crown is made from hard plastic or composite material.
Step 4: Fabrication of Vita Porcelain Crown in Dental Lab
Once the design is complete, a Vita porcelain block (e.g., Zirconia porcelain) will be fed into an automatic milling machine. The machine will mill a framework or a complete crown according to the exact design.
Step 5: Try-in and Permanent Cementation of Vita Porcelain Crown
This is the final appointment, determining the success of the entire process. The dentist will remove the temporary crown and thoroughly clean your prepared tooth. The fabricated Vita porcelain crown will then be tried on the tooth. Only when both you and the dentist are completely satisfied with all the above criteria, will the porcelain crown be permanently cemented.

How to Care for Vita Porcelain Teeth for Long-Lasting Beauty and Durability
Vita porcelain teeth can last beautifully for over 15 years if properly cared for. Maintaining good oral hygiene and adjusting lifestyle habits play a crucial role in protecting porcelain teeth, natural teeth, and gums.
Proper daily hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, using the correct technique. Use dental floss daily to clean between teeth. Alcohol-free mouthwash helps keep breath fresh and protects the dental adhesive. A water flosser is a good option for dental bridges or hard-to-clean teeth.
Reasonable eating – Risk reduction: Avoid foods that are too hard, too sticky, or highly acidic. Limit coffee, strong tea, and red wine to maintain stable porcelain color. Do not use your teeth to open bottle caps or tear packaging.
Change bad habits: Teeth grinding should be controlled with a nightguard. Avoid smoking to prevent staining and gum inflammation.
Regular dental check-ups every 6 months: Check for fit, gum health, occlusion, and professional cleaning. Early detection of potential problems for timely treatment.
Following these tips fully will help you maintain a radiant smile, stable chewing function, and long-lasting durability for your Vita porcelain teeth.
