Dr. Cooper and Dr. Owens Explain: What Are Dental Crowns Are Made Of?
At
Tidewater Dental our dental crowns are most often made of gold or
porcelain. Crowns can also be made of stainless steel, but those crowns
are usually temporary and not designed for long-term wear.Porcelain crowns are usually built on a metal base, which fits snugly over the natural tooth. We will choose a porcelain that matches the color of your natural teeth.
Porcelain crowns are carefully matched in color to your surrounding teeth so they cannot be distinguished from your natural teeth. Many people choose porcelain crowns for their cosmetic appearance and the confidence it gives them.
New materials are now available that allow for the use of "all-ceramic" crowns in some cases. They have a beautiful life-like appearance and short-term studies support their success, with long-term trials ongoing.
Crowns can be made of all gold if desired. Some people prefer not to use gold because it stands out from the other teeth in appearance. At the same time, if the crown is on a back molar, some people feel the cosmetic issue is not a big one. At Tidewater Dental we will discuss the types of materials available if we recommend a crown.
Call us at (866) 455-9637 for a complete evaluation of your cosmetic needs.
