Metal crowns include gold or palladium crowns. They are highly durable but also highly visible. Dentists recommend they go over back teeth where the bulk of chewing is done but which is also less visible.
The ceramic crowns look most like natural teeth, which is why they are popular. They aren’t as durable as the metal version but are good if you are allergic to metal.
Composite or resin crowns are incredibly affordable but are more fragile than porcelain or ceramic crowns. They look like your natural teeth. Resin is often used to make temporary crowns until permanent ones can be produced.
The dentist will need to first shave down some of the teeth the crown will fit over. This is so there is enough room between the tooth and other teeth once the crown is in place. Dental impressions will be made so the crown can have a customized fit. The dentist will then put in a temporary crown.
The second visit consists of installing the new customized crown from the lab and checking the fit. The new crown is bonded with dental cement to your tooth.
Those who have damaged or weak teeth should check into our crown options. Book an exam now and let our dentist make a recommendation.
