They are frequently used to restore posterior teeth affected by caries. 

These contain a silver alloy core and porcelain covering that closely resembles your natural tooth structure and shade

Also, stain-resistant porcelain crowns are a great option for people who want to preserve their teeth’s brightness.

Metal crowns, often constructed of gold or silver alloys, are a long-lasting alternative that can resist daily wear and tear. 

These are not as cosmetically beautiful as porcelain ones. They are frequently used on back teeth that are hidden when you smile.

Ceramic Crowns: Dental Crown

For those looking for a natural appearance without metal, ceramic crowns are a common choice.

Porcelain-based substances are made from envisioned to match the shade of your actual teeth.

Due to their natural appearance and capacity to blend in with natural teeth, ceramic crowns are standard in front teeth 

For those sensitive to metals, ceramic crowns are an excellent choice.

We will meet with you in our dental office to determine which type of crown is best for you.

To assess the complexity of your dental problems, we will thoroughly check your mouth and maintain all of your medical data at the start of your treatment.

Once we’ve decided, we’ll set up an additional appointment to start the crown implantation process.

Any decayed or broken portion of the tooth is typically eliminated and substituted with a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being made.

Please do not hesitate to contact us to schedule an appointment if you have any inquiries or concerns.
