When you decide to enhance your smile, the porcelain quality is equally as crucial as the dentist’s artistry. Most people want a bright, white smile, but getting a truly lifelike and durable result depends entirely on the quality of the ceramic material used for your restorations.
Cheaper materials often look “too white” or flat, missing the lifelike depth of real teeth. Worse, they can be quicker to stain over time, dulling the very smile you invested in.
The Problem with Low-Quality Porcelain
Opacity and staining are the two main failures of subpar dental ceramics.
-
Opacity: Natural teeth are not a single, solid color. They have a depth and translucency that lets light pass through and reflect off the underlying dentin. Low-quality porcelain blocks light, creating a dull, “chalky,” look that is an obvious sign of restorations.
-
Staining: While porcelain is highly stain-resistant, lower-grade materials often have microscopic surface pits. This porosity can absorb pigments 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 do more than just pick a material; we meticulously select specific, premium ceramics known for their superior performance.
We employ advanced ceramics (like high-translucency E.max or layered feldspathic porcelain) that are designed to:
-
Mimic Natural Enamel: These materials have outstanding optical properties, replicating the exact way light moves through a natural, healthy tooth.
-
Resist Staining: The superior finish and solid structure of our chosen materials create an ultra-smooth, non-porous surface that repels stains, keeping your smile vibrant for years.
-
Ensure Durability: High-grade porcelain offers fantastic durability, ensuring your smile is not only gorgeous but also functional and long-lasting.
