Four common varieties of dental crowns:
Ceramic
All-porcelain crowns are frequently selected for teeth that show when you smile. Crafted from a ceramic-based material, they closely replicate the translucency and color of your natural teeth for a seamless, lifelike result.
Porcelain Fused to Metal
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns are valued for their combination of structural strength and an aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking finish.
Gold Alloys
Gold alloy crowns may be recommended when additional strength is required, especially for patients who tend to grind or clench their teeth during sleep.
Base Metal Alloys
Base metal alloy crowns offer excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making them a reliable choice when there is limited remaining tooth structure to support the restoration.
