WE TAKE DENTAL EMERGENCIES AND WALK-INS
Several Materials Are Used to Produce Dental Crowns
Metal – There are all sorts of different metal crowns you can select, and they range from the classic gold variety to stainless steel or even silver. These crowns do not blend well with your natural teeth and stand out; however, they provide excellent functionality thanks to how strong their metal is. We can produce crowns made from many different materials:
Porcelain – Porcelain is an excellent choice for those who want inconspicuous crowns that blend pretty well with their natural teeth. Trouble can arise if the porcelain chips wear down at the gum line and the metal underneath it becomes visible. In a unique procedure, a metal cap is put in place to enhance the stability and durability of the porcelain crown fused on top of it.
Ceramic – Ceramic remains another viable option for someone wanting a dental cap that matches their original natural color. Mostly, you will see ceramic caps used for the front teeth because they are not very strong. The crown can be fused directly to metal or made into an all-ceramic cap with porcelain.
Resin – Resin falls under the category of one of the cheapest crown options, although it does look like a natural tooth, albeit the material is relatively weak and can chip or crack easily.

Are you interested in learning more about crowns and what option is best for your dental needs? Call Affordable Family Dentistry today for the answers! There is a range of dental crowns we provide:
*A temporary crown is what it sounds like. It’s a crown that’ll only remain in your mouth for a short period. We will place it over your tooth with an adhesive that’s easily removed so that it won’t be as strong as a permanent crown. Generally, this is done during a dental emergency or while you’re waiting for a permanent crown to be made. The permanent crown will be placed on your tooth at a second appointment.
*One-day crown. You can get a crown in a single appointment. Your new crown is designed and milled from a block of ceramic.
*Onlay or 3/4 crown.
Some crowns only cover a portion of the tooth. If you don’t need an entire crown, we may suggest an onlay or 3/4 crown instead.
