In restorative dentistry, many patients will find that porcelain restorations are commonplace. These restorations are used for a variety of purposes, and are all available in Saint Helens, OR with the team at Hiebert Smith Dental Group.

What are porcelain restorations?

Over the years, it has been determined that restorations that repair the smile are best suited for a material such as porcelain. Porcelain closely mimics the appearance of natural tooth enamel, ensuring seamless integration when place din the smile. Drs. Hiebert and Smith are dedicated in providing restorations that look as beautiful as possible, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the smile.

Porcelain restorations made in our practice may include the following:

• Onlays – onlays are sometimes referred to as “partial crowns” and may be used in conjunction with fillers to address areas of decay. They are bonded into place over the tooth with special dental bonding to ensure they last for many years.
• Dental crowns – a common restoration used in dental practices is that of a dental crown. The dental crown, or porcelain “cap,” is a porcelain piece that is fabricated to cover all visible areas of the natural tooth to add an extra layer of protection and strength to the natural tooth structure.
• Dental veneers – ceramic restorations such as porcelain veneers are also made of this material. These thin facings are made to cover the anterior teeth for cosmetic purposes.
