Composition of dental crowns
 

At Advanced Dentistry our dental crowns are most often made of metal free porcelain and sometimes porcelain fused to gold.  Crowns also can be made of stainless steel, but those crowns are often temporary and not designed for long-term wear; we rarely ever use stainless steel crowns.

Porcelain fused to gold crowns usually are built on a gold metal base, which fits snugly over the natural tooth. We will choose a porcelain that matches the color of your natural teeth.

Porcelain crowns usually are so carefully matched in color, 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 the use of "all-ceramic" crowns. This is what most of our patients want.

Crowns also can be made of all gold. 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 Advanced Dentistry we will discuss the types of materials available if we recommend a crown and help you decide what is best for you.

Call us at (281) 494-5600 for a complete evaluation of your cosmetic needs.
