Typically crowns are categorized by the material used to build them. You can have them made of acrylic, porcelain, ceramic, gold, or metal alloys. Each material has their own set of advantages, for example, porcelain and ceramic are the aesthetic choices.
They imitate the natural tooth best and can give you that perfect white smile. But they're not built to last long as is the case with metal crowns.
But it's not a very aesthetic choice as it can look very awkward. Consult with our expert dentists to get an overview of which would be the best choice for you.
If the missing tooth is not properly replaced, it can feel very awkward in your mouth and can cause problems in alignment and your bite. Your best option is to get a replacement either via bridges or with a dental implant. Implants are ideal if your tooth is damaged all the way to the root and needs a complete overhaul.
The choice of crown is an important decision as you need to ensure that the replacement feels natural in your mouth. Typically, porcelain and ceramic are best options for the front teeth. Metal alloys and gold crowns are better for your back teeth which require more chewing force and it doesn't matter much if it doesn't look as attractive.
