Ceramic - Used for restoring front teeth. Known for ability to blend with your natural tooth color. Made of a porcelain-based material.

Porcelain-fused to metal - Provides a stronger bond than regular porcelain as it resembles metal structure. Extremely durable.

Gold alloys - It is a combination of gold, copper and other metals. Provides a strong bond to the tooth.

Base metal alloys - This crown is made up of non-noble metals highly resistant to corrosion and strong in nature. Requires the least amount of healthy tooth to be removed prior to fitting.

Most crowns are made in dental laboratories by highly trained dental lab technicians. Some dentists do have the facilities to make crowns themselves though. Always ask where your crown is being made as many dentists ship them to foreign countries (such as China or Mexico) and are not required to inform you of this unless you ask. Crowns made in foreign countries are not subject to the regulations of the FDA.

My friend suggested that I'll have my dentist get me an all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns' What do you think' Should I proceed with that or can I just get a metal crown instead?

All-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns provide the best natural color match than any other crown type and may be more suitable for people with metal allergies. However, they are not as strong as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and they wear down opposing teeth a little more than metal or resin crowns. All-ceramic crowns are a good choice for front teeth.
