What is a Porcelain Dental Crown?

What is a porcelain crown? The most common form of crowns are porcelain crowns.
Porcelain crowns are cosmetically more desirable since they can be made to match your other teeth, unlike gold/metal crowns.

Metal crowns are considered tough, and longer lasting.
It is best to get a metal crown only if it is going to be placed in the back of your mouth. Crowns in the back of your mouth are harder to see, so they do not stand out nearly as much as crowns placed near the front teeth.

Porcelain crowns advantage over the metal crown is they can be matched to the color of your teeth. This makes it so that they are almost impossible to distinguish, especially from a distance.

Porcelain crowns will last a long time and typically recommended by most dentists since they blend into the existing teeth color and improve your smile.
