Porcelain prosthetics are one of the most common ways of treating multiple dental problems, whether through fitting a porcelain crown after tooth filling, or using fixed or removable prosthetics to replace missing teeth and molars. The prices of fitting porcelain teeth vary according to several factors, among them the method of fitting the porcelain teeth, and whether they are fixed or removable prosthetics, or are crowns for the teeth.
In what follows, the best dentist in Giza sets out for you the most important criteria that contribute to determining the prices of fitting porcelain teeth in Egypt, and the reason for the porcelain crown's price being lower than the zircon and E-max crown.
The uses of porcelain in cosmetic dentistry
Porcelain is one of the materials that have recently come to be used in the field of dentistry and cosmetic dentistry to improve the function of the teeth and preserve their aesthetic appearance. This takes the form of the dental crown (tooth caps) used after the filling of teeth and molars, and the fixed and removable dental prosthetics that contribute to replacing missing teeth.
According to these uses, the great variation between the prices of fitting porcelain teeth in Egypt becomes apparent, and so we will now speak in some detail about these uses.
The porcelain dental crown
Sometimes, as a result of neglecting dental hygiene and not using the brush and paste at least twice daily, the teeth may be affected by decay; and in the event that this decay is not treated at an early time, it spreads in the affected tooth or molar and penetrates into it until it reaches the nerve, and then the patient suffers severe pains.
This pain cannot then be eliminated except through root canal filling procedures, in which the tooth is filed down and the decay removed in order to reach the nerve canals, and then the nerve is removed completely, and at that point the pain the patient is suffering from ends entirely.
But what is the solution for replacing the part of the tooth that was filed down and removed? This is the first use of porcelain in the teeth, namely the dental crown. This type of cap is considered the most widespread, given that the price of the porcelain dental crown is extremely low compared with the other types of caps.
As for this crown, the inner part of it is manufactured from metal, so that it has sufficient hardness to withstand the pressure occurring while chewing various types of food, and its outer layer is of porcelain, in order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.
The metal part of this type of cap used to be visible at the gum line, which affected the aesthetic appearance; therefore the porcelain crown was developed and pressed porcelain (E-max) was used — but of course the prices of fitting porcelain teeth rose as a result of that.
Fixed porcelain dental prosthetics
When a person loses one of their teeth, the matter is not limited to the loss of the aesthetic appearance of the smile; rather the function of the teeth is negatively affected to a great degree, in addition to the function of speech also being affected. Indeed the teeth may also be exposed to many health problems, and gum pockets begin to appear, or the teeth adjacent to this missing tooth become affected by decay.
Among the solutions available at that point are "fixed porcelain dental prosthetics", since the prices of fitting porcelain teeth are considered low in comparison with the other solution, namely dental implants.
In this technique the doctor files down the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth, and fixes two caps with a complete tooth made of porcelain between them.
But of course you must know that although fixed prosthetics resemble the method of fitting the crown, the price of the porcelain crown is lower than that of the fixed prosthetic, since the latter amounts to two crowns or two caps in addition to a complete tooth.
Removable porcelain dental prosthetics.
Some may not favour the idea of filing down healthy teeth, so they resort to removable prosthetics, which resemble traditional dentures, in which a tooth of porcelain is built onto a layer resembling the gum, or this tooth is connected with metal wires matching the jaw in which the missing tooth is.
The patient is able to take out this prosthetic himself and refit it at any time he wishes, in order to eat, for example.
The prices of fitting porcelain teeth are considered lower than those of the fixed prosthetics, but they also may not last long and need extreme care on the patient's part so that they are not damaged within a short time.

Criteria for determining the prices of fitting porcelain teeth
After we have learned the most important uses of porcelain in cosmetic dentistry, we move now to speaking about the criteria for determining the prices of fitting porcelain teeth in Egypt, which include:
The nature of the procedure followed, since the price of the porcelain dental crown differs from the price of fixed dental prosthetics, and necessarily also differs from the price of removable dental prosthetics.
The extent of the preparations required before the procedure, since there are some procedures that need the teeth to be filed down before fixing the porcelain teeth, and some that may not need that.
The quality of the porcelain preparation laboratories that the doctor deals with, since the laboratory's experience in producing prosthetics is one of the factors that most contribute to giving the best results.
The doctor's experience.
