Dental porcelain can be used to restore the health, function and appearance of your smile. The porcelain has a naturally translucent appearance that reflects light in much the same way that dental enamel does. Our dentist can use dental porcelain in many different restorations, including inlays, onlays, porcelain crowns and veneers.
Along with its strength and longevity, one of the best benefits of having dental porcelain is its stain-resistance. When you eat and drink staining substances, such as wine, coffee or berries, chromogens can penetrate through the porous dental enamel and discolor your teeth. These stains can stay locked inside the structure of your teeth, where your toothbrush cannot reach and the need for whitening treatment is increased.
Dental porcelain is different. Its surface is impermeable and cannot be stained by most substances. Protecting the porcelain restorations is one of the best ways to keep your teeth bright and stain-free. Avoid using any harsh abrasive toothpaste that could disrupt the glazed surface of the veneers.
