Dr. Greenbaum Explains What  Dental Crowns Are Made Of

 

At The Star Dental Group LLC our dental crowns are most often made of porcelain bonded to gold or all porcelain. 

Porcelain crowns may be 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.  This type of crown has great strength and is great for back 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 in some cases.  They have a beautiful life-like appearance and long-term studies support their success.  These are the crowns of choice when appearance counts the most. This is the crown seen on television’s makeover shows.

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 The Star Dental Group LLC we will discuss the types of materials available if we recommend a crown.
