Are there options for the different types of crowns?
There are a variety of options for crowns. The most common type of crown is a porcelain crown that has metal on the inside. The crown is tooth colored, which makes it blend flawlessly with the rest of the teeth. With molar crowns, sometimes the best choice of crown is gold. Though gold is not as cosmetic as a porcelain crown, it has been shown to be longer lasting and more durable. There is also an all ceramic or all porcelain type of crown. These types of crowns are usually used in the front of the mouth in the “smile zone.” Because there is no metal involved with the ceramic crown, it’s a great choice for the front of the mouth.
