What else can I help you with?
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

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. Nevertheless, many patients deem the cost of metal free crowns worthwhile due to the improved appearance and biocompatibility of metal free options. FMS DENTAL HOSPITAL - Kondapur Contact Us!
