In addition, titanium porcelain crowns are also used in implants or dental bridges to restore lost teeth, improving the patient’s aesthetics and chewing ability.
Titanium porcelain teeth have been a popular choice at dentists thanks to their outstanding advantages. May be mentioned as:
Titanium porcelain crowns are light in weight, so they are often used for the upper jaw and help limit dental bridge collapse. On the other hand, titanium porcelain teeth have the same force-bearing ability as real teeth, helping to improve the patient’s chewing ability. At the same time, the lifespan of titanium and ceramic is also quite long, up to 10 years if properly cared for.

Titanium material is safe and often used in medicine. The outer ceramic coating is also proven to be benign, not causing irritation to the gums and surrounding soft tissues. The thermal conductivity of teeth covered with titanium porcelain is average, so there is no sensitivity when eating hot/cold foods. This creates comfort in daily activities for patients.
Titanium porcelain teeth are very safe for the body
The cost of titanium porcelain crowns is only 1.5 million VND/piece, quite cheap when compared to all-ceramic teeth costing up to 7 million. Low price but still ensuring aesthetic restoration and good chewing ability, titanium porcelain teeth will be the perfect choice for patients with limited finances.

Along with the advantages, titanium porcelain crowns also have disadvantages that make them less and less popular:
Due to the metal core, it is not exactly the same color as real teeth. If you look closely, titanium porcelain teeth are opaque white, not pure white like real teeth. Therefore, if the patient has high aesthetic requirements, titanium porcelain teeth are not the optimal choice.
Titanium porcelain teeth are opaque white
This is what gives patients the most “headache” when using titanium porcelain crowns. After a period of time, the metal part is easily oxidized in the oral environment, causing discoloration at the tooth roots and gum line.
In real life conditions, the average lifespan of titanium porcelain crowns is about 5-7 years. This number is much lower when compared to all-ceramic teeth (up to 20 years). However, patients can increase the lifespan of titanium porcelain teeth by taking proper oral care according to the doctor’s instructions.
