The Choice of Crown is up to You
Are you looking at choosing a crown? Will your dental work be completed with the perfect crown? Is your smile just around the corner and the right crown will finish it off? Well here are some options that your Spokane Dentist may offer.
Choice #1-Full Porcelain or Ceramic Crown
This type of crown is the best choice for a completely natural look. Porcelain or ceramic works great for people who have allergies to metal. Porcelain and ceramic is not as durable as some of the other crown types however, they are a great choice for many patients. This is especially so for front teeth repair.
Choice #2- Metal Crowns
There are several metal options. Gold alloy, nickel, palladium are some metals you will see used. The great part about a metal crown is that less of the natural tooth enamel needs to be removed. In addition to this, the metal crowns are extremely durable. The main limitations many patients see with metal crowns are the look. Most of the time we see it is a natural smile look that is being worked toward.
Choice #3- Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns
This is a nice go between for durability and look. If there are no metal allergies involved, then this might be just the right choice for you. For the most part these types of crown look very natural. Depending on how far the gum line recedes after installation, there may be a small line of metal showing. There is also a chance that the porcelain will chip off in time.
Choice #4- All Resin Crown Crowns
These types of crowns are the least expensive. They are created out of the resin mixture. This mixture becomes more brittle and is prone to breakage over time.
Take some time to work with the Spokane Dental Professionals in order to find the right crown. You will have a temporary in place until the crown you choose is made. Then you will be well on your way to the smile you deserve.
