Types of Dental Crowns
  • Stainless Steel
  • Prefabricated crowns that are used as temporary
    measure to protect the tooth. Its commonly used
    to children because they dont need multiple
    dental visits and much budget wisely than
    custom-made crowns and prophylactic dental care.
  • Metals
  • These are used in crowns that includes gold
    alloy, other alloys or a base-metal alloy. It
    doesnt break even though for biting and chewing
    forces. Their good choice for out-of-sight
    molars.
  • Porcelain-fused-to-metal
  • It looks like normal teeth however, sometimes the
    metal placed beneath the crowns porcelain can
    show through as a dark line, especially at the
    gum line and even more so if your gums recede.
    These crowns might be a good choice for long
    bridges wherein the metal is needed for strength
    and for front or back teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns
  • All-resin
  • These are less expensive however, they are more
    prone to fractures and they wear down over time.
    Their usually used only for temporary crowns.
  • All-ceramic or all-porcelain
  • Dental crowns might be more suitable for people
    with metal allergies and they provide better
    natural color match. All- ceramic crowns are a
    good choice for front teeth.
  • Temporary versus permanent
  • Mostly permanent crowns are made in the dental
    laboratory while temporary crowns can be done in
    the dentists office. Temporary crowns are made
    of acrylic or stainless steel and can be used as
    temporary repair until permanent crown is
    constructed by a lab.
  • Zirconia or milled crown
  • Dental offices that have the software and
    hardware can produce a crown by one visit only,
    no need for temporary crowns.
