Types of Crown Materials
There are a variety of materials available to create your custom dental crown. These include:
Porcelain – Porcelain crowns are popular because they closely match the appearance of natural teeth. They are ideal for restoring front teeth or areas of your mouth that are visible when you smile.
Zirconia – Zirconia is a strong and durable material, making it a great option for crowns on molars that are used for chewing. This material can also be shaded to match your natural teeth.
Gold Alloy – Gold alloy crowns are highly durable and last for many years. While they don’t match the natural tooth color, they are an excellent option for molars and areas that require strong, long-lasting restoration.
