What are All Porcelain Crowns?

All-porcelain crowns (also called caps) are a beautiful, long-lasting choice. The procedure involves reducing and carefully shaping the supporting tooth, creating an impression from which a model of the prepared tooth is made, and having the crown fabricated (usually in a dental lab), then fitting and permanently cementing or bonding the crown in place. Crowns made of porcelain with a metal base do not look as natural and may eventually result in a noticeable dark line at the gums.
