Dental crowns can be constructed out of a variety of materials including stainless steel, gold, porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-resin, and all-porcelain. What material the dental crown is made of can help to match your specific dental needs as well as determine the cost of crown procedure.
Types of Crowns
From porcelain to metal alloys, there are many different types of crowns that are available to restore a chipped or broken tooth. At Friendly Dentistry, our dental office provides the best technology and qualified staff to meet your needs and enhance your dental health. Here are several types of crowns available to you for dental restoration.
All-Porcelain Crowns
While not as durable as metal crowns, all-porcelain crowns – also referred to as all-ceramic crowns – are often preferred because of their ability to match the look of natural teeth. Made from a number of natural materials, these crowns are hand-crafted by a dental technician or carved out of a single block of ceramic by a computerized milling machine. Ceramic crowns are also bio-compatible, making them a great option for anyone who is allergic to metal.
If you have a tooth that is badly broken, a dental bridge that needs to be replaced, or simply an interest in enhancing your smile with dental crowns or veneers, we can help.
