Metal dental crowns offer superior strength and longevity for back teeth, while ceramic crowns provide a natural, tooth-colored appearance ideal for visible front teeth.

Metal Crowns

• Strength: Extremely durable and withstands heavy chewing forces without chipping.

• Tooth Prep: Requires removing less natural tooth enamel than ceramic.

• Appearance: Silver or gold color makes them very noticeable on visible teeth.

• Best Use: Back molars that do a lot of chewing.

Ceramic Crowns

• Appearance: Matches the color and shine of real teeth for a seamless look.

• Body Safe: Metal-free material prevents allergic reactions or gum sensitivity.

• Strength: Modern ceramics like zirconia are very tough, though traditional porcelain can chip more easily than metal.

• Best Use: Front teeth or anyone with metal allergies.
