About porcelain restorations
Porcelain Restorations at Brisbane Smile Boutique
Enhance Your Smile with Durable Aesthetics
At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we offer high-quality porcelain restorations to restore the function and beauty of your smile. Led by Dr. Leila Haywood, our porcelain options include veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns, each designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Why Choose Porcelain Restorations?
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain mimics the translucency of natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and lifelike finish.
- Durability: Porcelain is highly resistant to wear and staining, providing a long-lasting solution that maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.
- Biocompatibility: Porcelain is a safe material that is well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and sensitivities.
- Minimal Tooth Reduction: Our approach prioritises preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while delivering effective restorations.
Types of Porcelain Restorations
1. Porcelain Veneers: Thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth to correct imperfections such as chips, gaps, or discolouration.
2. Porcelain Inlays: Custom-made inserts used to restore cavities or damage within the tooth, preserving more of the natural tooth structure.
3. Porcelain Onlays: Similar to inlays, but designed to cover larger areas of the tooth, providing added strength and support.
4. Porcelain Crowns: Full coverage restorations that encase a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, and function.
The Restoration Process
1. Consultation: Our aesthetic dentists will assess your dental health and discuss your goals to determine the best porcelain restoration option for you.
2. Preparation: The affected tooth is prepared by removing any decay and shaping it to accommodate the restoration.
3. Custom Design: Impressions are taken to create a custom porcelain restoration that matches the colour and shape of your natural teeth.
4. Placement: Once the restoration is ready, it is carefully placed and bonded to your tooth, ensuring a secure and aesthetic fit.
WHY PORCELAIN IS THE BEST WAY TO RESTORE TEETH
Porcelain is an excellent choice for dental restorations due to its health benefits, strength, and stability. Here’s why porcelain is considered a healthier option:
1. Strength and Durability
Porcelain is a robust material that can withstand significant biting forces, making it highly suitable for restorations like crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays. Its strength ensures that restorations can last many years without cracking or breaking, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
2. Biocompatibility
Porcelain is biocompatible, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body. This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or sensitivities, making it a safe choice for dental work.
3. Minimal Wear on Opposing Teeth
Unlike some other materials, porcelain is less abrasive, which means it won’t wear down the opposing teeth as quickly. This characteristic helps maintain overall dental health.
4. Stain Resistance
Porcelain is highly resistant to staining and discolouration, which helps preserve the aesthetic appearance of restorations over time. This quality encourages patients to maintain good oral hygiene, contributing to healthier gums and teeth.
5. Natural Aesthetics
Porcelain closely mimics the translucency and colour of natural teeth, promoting a more harmonious smile. The aesthetic quality of porcelain can enhance patient confidence, encouraging better oral care practices.
6. Stability
Porcelain does not expand or contract significantly with temperature changes, ensuring a secure fit and reducing the likelihood of cracks or leaks over time. This stability contributes to the longevity of restorations and helps maintain oral health.
7. Support for Natural Teeth
When used in restorations, porcelain can provide structural support to weakened teeth, preventing further damage and potential tooth loss. This proactive approach promotes long-term dental health.
