Costa Rica is a leading global destination for affordable dental care. There are hundreds of dental clinics in Costa Rica, but only a select few that offer high quality porcelain crowns. There are many different types of materials for crowns, but the leading clinics recommend porcelain crowns for superior performance and natural aesthetics.
Porcelain crowns are the more expensive options when you choose them over gold or a composite crown. But porcelain dental crowns in Costa Rica are truly affordable and are a good choice for long-term durability.
Porcelain Crowns Look Amazing
You’ll love the cosmetic advantages porcelain crowns offer. They don’t leave an unsightly line between the crowned tooth and your gums. And since they are made of all porcelain which is a ceramic, they can be engineered to exactly match the color and form of your natural teeth. That makes them a great option for natural looking front teeth.
Porcelain Crowns are Hypoallergenic
Porcelain crowns have the advantage of being hypoallergenic which means they won’t provoke an allergic reaction and won’t react with your gums. This means that your porcelain crowns won’t cause gum inflammation.
Porcelain Crowns are Time Savers
Your time is valuable and that’s another advantage of porcelain crowns. In Costa Rica, we can make your crown and install it all in one or two visits. If you never several crowns, it may take a bit longer. But porcelain crowns are a great option for patients on a tight schedule when traveling to Costa Rica for dental tourism.
Consider a PFM: Porcelain Fused to Metal
Porcelain crowns are a bit more fragile than an all-metal crown. Many patients opt for a porcelain crown bonded to a metal base on the tooth. These are known as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, or PFMs.
The great thing about the PFM option is that you retain the aesthetic advantages of porcelain which means your dentist can match the color of your PFM crown to your existing teeth. Plus, the metal base of your PFM crown provides a snugger fit and delivers better durability. You’ll find a PFM crown will last years when properly cared for with regular brushing and flossing and is easier on your wallet than an all-porcelain crown.
Choosing porcelain or a PFM crown is a great way to get the aesthetic appeal and durability you’re looking for. And at Goodness Dental, our incredible team will ensure your investment is well spent and as economical as possible.
