What are crowns made from?
Dental crowns are made from a variety of materials, including metal, porcelain, resin, or ceramic. They are matched in size, shape, and colour to sit comfortably alongside existing teeth. Crowns can be used to support a dental bridge or fixed to a dental implant for a highly aesthetic finish.
We provide gold crowns, porcelain bonded to gold crowns and the latest in the metal free alternatives that give truly lifelike results. The latest advances in porcelain allow light to transmit through the crown, thereby creating a restoration that is undetectable from the other natural teeth in your smile. With the absence of any metal core on the inside of the crown, there will be no more telltale grey lines that are usually seen with the older metal ceramic crowns. If a crown is required we will discuss all suitable options with you and you can decide how you wish to proceed.
