The type of crown we recommend will be based on the functional and aesthetic needs of the tooth to be restored. For anterior crowns where appearance is very important, we usually recommend the use of modern ceramics processes to produce porcelain crowns which achieve unparalleled translucency and colour to match your teeth perfectly. However, gold crowns in posterior areas may be considered superior, to protect heavily broken-down teeth outside of the aesthetic zone. The choices are always discussed prior to commencing treatment to achieve the results you are looking for and what is best for the long-term outcome.
