You have probably heard of dental crowns before. There are actually many different types of crowns available today. These include:
- Metal Crowns These are often used for teeth you can’t really see, such as molars. A benefit of metal crowns is that they are very durable, and will stand up to chewing over time.
- Stainless Steel Stainless steel crowns are usually used as temporary crowns while a permanent crown is being made. This will also help cover the tooth, and protect it from damage until the ‘forever crown’ is fitted.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal These are quite popular, as they look like natural teeth. However, there are a few drawbacks: the other teeth may take a beating with these. Sometimes the metal will also start to show through the porcelain.They are often used in back teeth, and sometimes as parts of long crowns.
- Resin Resin crowns are a very affordable choice. However, they don’t last as long as other crowns, and can crack or fracture.
- Ceramic Or Porcelain These offer a very natural color, and they are great options for people who are allergic to metals. They can be used for front or back teeth.
