What element is used in dental crowns?
Amalgam is a restorative FILLING material. Crowns are typically porcelain fused to hi-noble metals...like palladium, gold, platinum, silver, and tin. There is also a "full gold" crown...which is exactly how it sounds. And then all porcelain crowns...which are essentially "colored glass".
Do porcelain crowns stain?
yes, eventually 'All porcelain' crowns do not generally stain or fade. 'Porcelain fused to metal' crowns might show a dark line near the gum after time. In rare cases the porcelain can pick up staining from poor oral hygiene or from heavy use of red wine tobacco cola etc. but is easily polished off with the correct dental tools. Porcelain does not stain as it is not porous like natural teeth.
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?
Your friend is correct in recommending all-ceramic or all-porcelain dental crowns, especially in cases where the crown will be visible in a smile. All-ceramic, and all-porcelain crowns are seen as the most natural looking crowns that can be used, especially for front teeth that are designed to mimic the color and translucency of teeth closely. They are also good choices for people with metal allergies because they contain no metals. However, they are usually less strong than metal crowns, so they are less suitable for teeth that experience the due to chewing pressure. For that reason, you should consider metal crowns for molars which are where most grinding and chewing takes place. Metal crowns may not blend into a smile aesthetically, but metal crowns tend to last longer, and require less removal of tooth structure. The decision between all-ceramic crowns, all-porcelain crowns and metal crowns will depend on individual needs such as location in mouth, aesthetics, and budget. It is always a good idea to go over both crown options thoroughly with your dentist! FMS DENTAL HOSPITAL - Kondapur Contact Us! Call (+91) 8885060770 email: contact@fmsdental dot com

How long do dental gold crowns last?
Dental gold crowns can last for decades. I've personally seen some last over forty years. In general, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-porcelain crowns do not last as long a gold crowns. A goal for dental providers is to be able to place a crown that will last at least ten years. This is considered a adequate lifespan of a crown. Most crowns will last longer than this but gold has the best track-record for longevity. One reason gold lasts longer is because it is more forgiving to the chewing forces created in the mouth. Porcelain is more brittle and can fracture, whereas gold is malleable and can change shape to accommodate the force rather than fracture. Gold crowns are often recommended for back teeth which actually bear higher chewing stresses when compared to front teeth. Porcelain is opted for when aesthetics is a concern. This is why porcelain is generally recommended for teeth closer to the front. They look more like real teeth and they can last a long time when they aren't under a lot of chewing stress.

In particular, metal free crowns - like those made of zirconia or ceramic - have become much more popular due to their aesthetic value. They are a perfect solution for those patients looking for a more natural look, especially for the front teeth. Metal free crowns offer improved matched with the color translucency of the natural enamel. When considering the metal free crowns cost, however, you'll notice that these crowned tend to be more expensive than metal or PFM crowns. The crown is expensive is mainly due to advances in the materials being used and aesthetic value they offer to patients. There will still be variation in cost for the crowns depending on the experience of the dentist, the complexity of the case and where your dentist is geographically.

Does cosmetic dental insurance cover crowns and partials?
There is no product called cometic dental insurance. Dental insurance generally excludes any procedure that is done for costmetic reasons. That said, crowns are not usually cosmetic but to restore the function of the tooth and would be covered. In most dental plans, crowns are covered at 50%. So you will pay half of the cost of the procedure at the discounted rate negotiated by the insurer with the dentist. The exception to payment for cosmetic procedures are discount dental plans which get you a discount on all procedures. The difference is that in a discount plan you pay all of the cost; the plan pays nothing.
