When investing in your smile, the material used is equally as crucial as the skill of your dentist. Many patients picture a bright, white smile, but getting a truly lifelike and durable result depends entirely on the quality of the dental porcelain used for veneers or crowns.
Lower-grade ceramics often look “too white” or opaque, lacking the natural translucency of real teeth. Even worse, they can be quicker to stain over time, compromising the very look you invested in.
The Problem with Low-Quality Porcelain
Opacity and staining are the two main failures of subpar dental ceramics.
-
Opacity: Real teeth are not a single, solid color. They have a depth and translucency that lets light pass through and reflect off the underlying dentin. Inferior porcelain blocks light, creating a flat, “fake,” look that is an obvious sign of dental work.
-
Staining: While porcelain is highly stain-resistant, lower-grade materials often have a less stable glazing. This porosity can absorb pigments from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, causing discoloration that cannot be polished away.
Our Dedication to Quality: Premium Material Selection
In our Westfield practice, Dr. Aristo Carranza will not compromise on quality. We do more than just pick a material; we meticulously select specific, high-grade ceramic materials known for their superior performance.
We employ advanced ceramics (like high-translucency E.max or layered feldspathic porcelain) that are engineered to:
-
Replicate Real Teeth: These materials have superior optical properties, replicating the exact way light interacts with a natural, healthy tooth.
-
Repel Discoloration: The superior finish and dense composition of our chosen materials create an glass-like, non-porous surface that resists staining, keeping your smile vibrant for years.
-
Ensure Durability: Premium porcelain offers fantastic durability, ensuring your smile is not only gorgeous but also functional and long-lasting.
