Most people don't realize there are different crown materials and that it's not a one-size-fits-all decision.
The material your dentist recommends makes a real difference to the look, feel, and longevity of the result. 🦷
Here's a quick breakdown of the most common options:
🤍 Porcelain → the most natural-looking option, completely metal-free, and ideal for front teeth where appearance matters most
🩶 Metal → extremely durable and long-lasting, best suited for back teeth where strength is the priority and visibility is less of a concern
⚪ Porcelain-fused-to-metal → combines the strength of metal with a more natural-looking finish, offering a solid middle-ground option
The right choice depends on where the crown is going, how much pressure it'll be under, and what matters most to you aesthetically. We will always walk you through the options and give an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.
