When teeth are missing or damaged, restoration is necessary. This can be achieved by fitting a porcelain crown or directly installing a porcelain tooth. Porcelain crowns or teeth are categorized into several types based on material, each with distinct characteristics and pricing. So, how much does a pure titanium porcelain crown restoration cost?
Pure titanium porcelain crowns represent a non-precious metal porcelain restoration, emerging as a mature metal-porcelain technology in recent years. Titanium is a biocompatible metal distinguished by its complete absence of toxicity or adverse effects on the human body, offering exceptional biocompatibility.
Characteristics of pure titanium porcelain crowns:
1.Titanium possesses stable chemical properties and exceptional biocompatibility, causing no reactions with human tissues. It does not lead to gum inflammation, darkening of the gum line, or metallic taste in the mouth. 2. Pure titanium is non-magnetic and radiolucent, meaning it does not interfere with MRI scans, X-rays, CT scans, or other medical examinations.
3. Lightweight, weighing less than one-sixth of other porcelain-fused-to-metal alloys.
4. Pure titanium is considered the medical metal of the 21st century.
5. Pure titanium has certain drawbacks: it is difficult to process, has high elasticity, and is prone to porcelain chipping without sufficient shoulder support, demanding high technical skill from the dentist. Naturally, the cost of pure titanium porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns is also higher.
