All Porcelain Crowns by Laguna Niguel Dentist Dr. Norman Huefner of Orange County

The most common crown restoration placed by most general dentists today utilizes a metal lining covered with porcelain.

These types of restorations are not as natural in appearance because light is not able to pass through porcelain-metal crowns as it does with a natural tooth.

This results in an opaque or flat looking tooth, and oftentimes these types of traditional crowns leave a dark or gray line next to the gum-line.

Dr. Huefner is proud to offer a more esthetic and natural looking alternative: all-ceramic non-metal bonded crowns, onlays and veneers!

With these newer types of restorations you will notice the vital and "life-like" appearance that mimics natural teeth and does not produce the less esthetic black gum line so common with so many porcelain-metal crowns.

Because the all-ceramic restorations contain no metal and oftentimes do not have to go below the gums, the gums are generally more comfortable and healthier.
