The porcelain crown has a shape, size, and color close to natural teeth, with a hollow interior to fit snugly over the tooth stump.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the procedure, the dentist will grind a portion of the natural tooth structure to create a tooth stump, then attach the <b>porcelain crown<\/b> on top to restore the tooth&#8217;s shape, chewing function, and aesthetics. Crowns are also used to support various other restoration methods. However, since natural tooth structure must be ground down, this technique is considered relatively invasive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A dental crown consists of 2 main parts: the inner framework and the outer porcelain layer.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Inner framework: This is the first part fabricated to create the shape and structural strength of the crown. The framework supports the crown, helping it fit snugly and stay firmly fixed on the tooth stump, minimizing movement during chewing. This part is typically made from metal or solid ceramic depending on the type of crown used.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Outer porcelain layer: This is the porcelain layer that covers the entire framework, giving the crown a natural color and shape resembling real teeth.
