Metal-free crowns are usually made from ceramic or zirconia. They do not have a metal core. The finished tooth can look much closer to your natural teeth. For a tooth that matters. A lot.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Front teeth are the case, especially when appearance bothers you every time you look in the mirror.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Zirconia suits teeth well because strength is a big part of the decision there although the exact material still matters.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 No metal showing through the gum line, which becomes more noticeable for some people over time.<\/p>\r\n
Metal crowns are not junk. Far from it.<\/p>\r\n
They are strong. Usually need less tooth removal than some other crown designs. That can be useful when the remaining tooth structure is limited. Gold-based crowns are also known for being gentle on the tooth because the material behaves differently under chewing pressure.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Appearance wins the attention here. Metal-free crowns blend into your smile better while metal stays visibly metallic.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Durability is strong on both sides though the exact material and where the crown sits make a difference.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Less tooth preparation can sometimes be an advantage with metal crowns. Honestly thats a detail worth discussing with your dentist.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Allergies are uncommon. Avoiding metal may matter if you’ve had a reaction to certain metals before.<\/p>\r\n
For a tooth the choice gets more interesting. You may prefer zirconia because it gives you a tooth- appearance without giving up the strength you want. You may decide that a metal crown is perfectly fine because nobody sees it and you mainly care about function.<\/p>\r\n
Your dentist also needs to look at the amount of tooth left and your bite before choosing the material. A beautiful crown that doesn’t suit the way your teeth meet’s n’t much of a win.<\/p>\r\n
