When your tooth is damaged or decayed, your Narre Warren dentist may recommend a dental crown to cover and protect your natural tooth. A dental crown is customised to fit over your entire tooth, restoring its shape and giving it the strength to bite down and chew your favourite foods.
So, what are dental crowns made of? Keep reading to learn more.
What Are Dental Crowns Made of?
At Ava Dental, we use several different materials for our dental crowns. Your options include the following:
- Porcelain — Our porcelain crowns blend naturally with your existing smile and are a good option for your front teeth.
- Ceramic — You may choose ceramic for its natural appearance and durability.
- Metal — Often used for molars, metal crowns are extremely strong and can withstand biting and chewing force.
- PFM — With porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, you get the natural appearance of porcelain and the strength of metal so that they can be used on front or back teeth.
