Porcelain Crowns
At IDC Danang, a porcelain crown is a restoration method in which a small portion of the natural tooth is prepared and then covered with a custom crown that blends seamlessly with your smile. This treatment improves durability, chewing function and aesthetics — all while preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible.
Key Advantages of Porcelain Crowns
✔ Repair damaged, chipped, decayed or worn teeth
✔ Change tooth colour and shape for a comprehensive aesthetic upgrade
✔ Long-lasting durability — chew with confidence like natural teeth
✔ No staining over time — maintain your bright smile
✔ Minimal preparation of the natural tooth — maximised preservation
✔ Advanced ceramic materials: IPS e.max, Zirconia, Cercon, Katana, etc.
