| Your tooth has a large cavity. | |
| Your tooth has had root canal therapy. | |
| Your tooth has a large, weak filling. | |
| To replace a failing or unacceptable existing crown. | |
| For cosmetic improvement. |
Crowns can be made of several different materials each of which may be indicated for different situations:
| Gold | |
| "Porcelain Fused to Metal" (A metal substructure with a porcelain covering) | |
| All-Ceramic (Porcelain with no metal) |
The trend is towards reducing or eliminating metal in dentistry. The All-Ceramic Crowns are state of the art. They appear very natural and have the advantage of being bonded to the tooth for strength. Since there is no metal substructure, they don't have the "black line syndrome" at the gum line.
