There are many different types of crowns and patients have choices. However, the most common one is the porcelain fused to metal crown. Dental porcelain is a beautiful material that, when artistically crafted, can look like natural tooth material. There are several different crown and bridge metals used to support the porcelain. The best metal is a high noble gold alloy. Human tissues love gold metal and tend to grow up onto it like natural tooth enamel.

          Of all the different types of crowns, the full gold crown is probably the oldest kind used. The gold crown is undoubtably the strongest and most lasting kind made by dentists. The metal is also soft enough that it molds to a patient's bite after years of chewing whereas porcelain breaks with changes in the bite.

          Cosmetic Dentistry is significantly changing the popularity of the different types of crowns being done today. Dental research is developing stronger and stronger dental porcelains that not only look beautiful but are very strong. Several different porcelains have been invented that each have slightly different qualities.
