Now that you've decided to get a full crown restoration, you need to choose the type you want. You have three basic choices: metal, full porcelain and porcelain-fused-to-metal (known as PFM in the dental world). Metal crowns, made of gold or alloys, are the most durable, but most people don't like the way they look. Full porcelains look and fit great, but they're best placed on front teeth where the stress isn't as great. PFM crowns are very strong and durable.
Regardless of the type of crown you choose, the process starts with preparing the tooth so your bite is secure and your gum tissue remains healthy once the new crown is in place. Whether you opt for metal, full porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal, we believe that a well-built crown will improve your bite, give you a greater dental function and improve your smile.
