Whether you are getting an original crown or replacing an old one, a porcelain crown will look, feel, and act just like your natural tooth.
Gold crowns are very visible, and other tooth-colored materials have a more dull, flat look. Porcelain absorbs and reflects light in the same way that your natural tooth enamel does, so your crown will look natural and alive.
Porcelain is also very strong and resistant to staining. You will be able to use your tooth as you did before it became damaged.
