All-porcelain dental restorations also provide extensive functional advantages. Though you are likely primarily concerned with how porcelain crowns look in your mouth, crowns are more important for chewing through food and protecting the interior of your tooth. Porcelain crowns restore damaged teeth, allowing you to chomp through food and enjoy improved oral health across posterity.

The mere fact that the dentist does not have to remove a considerable portion of the tooth structure to place the crown is an advantage in and of itself. There is no need to eliminate perfectly healthy portions of the tooth. Add in the fact that metal restorations have the potential to wear adjacent teeth and it is easy to understand why complete porcelain crowns are favored. Finally, crowns made of porcelain are not as abrasive as other crowns, preserving the functionality and strength of healthy teeth.
