When investing in your smile, the porcelain quality is just as important as the skill of your dentist. Many patients picture a bright, white smile, but getting a truly natural and lasting result depends entirely on the quality of the dental porcelain used for veneers or crowns.
Lower-grade materials often look “too white” or opaque, lacking the natural translucency of real teeth. Worse, they can be quicker to stain over time, compromising the very look you sought to enhance.
The Problem with Low-Quality Porcelain
Dullness and discoloration are the two main failures of subpar dental ceramics.
-
Opacity: Real teeth are not flat white. They have an internal dimension that lets light pass through and reflect off the underlying dentin. Inferior porcelain stops light, creating a flat, “fake,” look that is an clear sign of dental work.
-
Staining: While porcelain is generally stain-resistant, lower-grade materials often have microscopic surface pits. This roughness can soak up stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking, causing discoloration that cannot be polished away.
Our Dedication to Quality: Hand-Selected Materials
In our Westfield practice, Dr. Aristo Carranza will not compromise on quality. We don’t just choose porcelain; we carefully source 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 moves through a natural, healthy tooth.
-
Resist Staining: The advanced glazing and dense composition of our chosen materials create an glass-like, non-porous surface that resists staining, ensuring your smile stays bright for years.
-
Guarantee Strength: High-grade porcelain offers exceptional strength, ensuring your smile is not only beautiful but also strong and durable.
