What types of Crowns are available ?
Crowns are made from different types of materials
like metal, alloy, porcelain, ceramic etc.
Dentists suggest the type of crown as per a
patients need. Following types of crowns are
available
Metal Crowns These are made of gold, generally
last long without chipping or breaking, and do
not wear down your opposing natural teeth. But
the gold color does not look natural on front
teeth.   Composite Crowns These look natural,
and do not chip as easily as porcelain crowns.
They have a lesser life as they wear from chewing
and the polished surface stains even with
brushing teeth.   Porcelain Crowns Although
these look most natural, but are brittle and chip
easily. Hence these are not placed on back
teeth.   Porcelain-fused-to-metal Crowns These
are stronger than the porcelain or composite
ones, and also look quite natural. They also do
not chip as easily as others.
