Types of Dental Crowns to Complete Your Smile
Zirconium Crowns
- Zirconium crowns are a popular choice for their exceptional strength and durability.
- Made from a white, highly strong material called zirconium oxide, these crowns are an excellent option for back teeth, where chewing forces are strongest.
- They are also known for their natural, translucent appearance, making them a great choice for front teeth as well.
- Benefits: Extremely strong, long-lasting, and a good match for natural
tooth color.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
- PFM crowns are a time-tested and reliable option. They feature a metal base for strength and support, which is then covered with a layer of tooth-colored porcelain.
- This combination offers both the durability needed for chewing and an aesthetic finish. PFM crowns are a good choice for both front and back teeth.
- Benefits: Very strong due to the metal base, and a more affordable option that still provides a natural look.
E-max Crowns
- E-max crowns are the top choice for patients who prioritize an aesthetically pleasing result. Made from lithium disilicate porcelain, E-max crowns are known for their beautiful, translucent finish, which gives them a natural appearance. They are also strong and durable, making them ideal for front teeth.
- Benefits: Outstanding aesthetics, a perfect match for natural teeth,
and a metal-free option.
