My Porcelain Fused to Noble Metal Dental Crown chipped and I was told by my dentist this is OK is this true???

He told me this can chip however it doesn’t compromise the structural integrity of the dental crown because there contains a gold/alloy structure underneath, that is actually serving as the crown and the porcelain overtop of it is just cosmetic. Is he correct in this saying or he just doesn’t want to do the free work?

It does not compromise the structural integrity of the crown, He is correct. If however it is bothering you or now that it is chipped you are biting your cheek, food is getting stuck, or you can see the chip easily when you smile. Then it is a problem for you! You should get it replaced.





Many patients chip porcelain off their teeth. If it is not a big chip and the edge is bother their tongue, we can just round it out and the tongue is OK with it. If the chip start to cause a problem any problem, where the patients eating, social life, and happiness is affected, we try to adress the problem. If you don't notice the chip with your tongue and you can still eat, and it doesn't bother you. leave it alone.
