Porcelain crowns are an effective aesthetic and protective dental solution, but choosing low-quality or non-biocompatible ceramic technology can lead to serious long-term oral health risks. Below are the five biggest dangers when you choose porcelain crowns without BioUltra technology.
When thinking about dental crowns, most people focus only on the final result, a set of straight, white teeth. But two factors determine the success or failure of the entire procedure:
The dentist’s skill and technique.
The quality, materials, and application method used in the technology, which are the decisive elements of safety.
Just one error in either of these factors can lead to consequences lasting years or even irreversible damage.
Natural teeth play a crucial role in chewing and overall health. However, traditional crown techniques often require removing 50-70% of the tooth structure, stripping away enamel and risking pulp damage.
When enamel is over-prepared, teeth become sensitive, prone to pulp necrosis, and weaken over time due to the loss of natural protection.
A low-quality crown poses a serious threat to oral health. Non-biocompatible materials lack antibacterial properties and easily accumulate plaque, causing redness, swelling, gum recession, and dark gum margins.
This is the most visible aesthetic sign of a failed crown case, making your smile look unnatural and reducing confidence.
When the crown does not fit tightly to the tooth structure, microscopic gaps become “bacterial pockets.” Bacteria break down food debris, producing unpleasant odors that cannot be removed through normal hygiene. No matter how well you clean, your breath remains unpleasant, impacting your confidence and quality of life.
Some crowns with metal frameworks (Ni-Cr, Co-Cr) may cause allergies or mucosal irritation due to metal ion oxidation over time.
For individuals with sensitive physiology, this reaction may result in swelling, burning sensations, or gum pain.
To avoid this, choose high-biocompatibility materials such as German, Italian, or American all-ceramic crowns that use BioUltra technology for absolute biomedical safety.

Low-cost crowns are often made from brittle materials lacking molecular reinforcement. After a short period, they may crack, chip, or break under normal chewing force.
When this happens, you must replace the entire crown, causing pain, additional costs, and wasted time. What seemed like an initial “saving” becomes the most expensive and regrettable investment later.
Understanding these five risks is not to frighten you but to help you make informed decisions. Excessive tooth reduction, gum inflammation, bad breath, allergies, and breakage are completely preventable when you choose the correct technology from the start.
BioUltra technology was developed to completely resolve these long-standing issues, offering both aesthetic excellence and absolute biological safety. Choosing the right technology is only half the story. The other half is choosing the right clinic.
