What are my options when a tooth needs a crown?
The three most commonly used crowns are metal, ceramic and metal and all ceramic. All metal crowns often made of gold are the strongest and are often used on far back teeth where they resist the greatest chewing pressures and are not usually visible. Ceramic- metal crowns look quite good in most cases and provide both strength and beauty. All ceramic crowns are the most life like restorations and are most commonly used in the front of the mouth.
