Metals Used in Dental Crowns

Metals used in dental crowns include gold alloy or a base-metal alloy such as nickel or chromium. In comparison with other crown types less tooth structure has to be removed which makes this a very big added benefit for you. They are the most durable out of all the dental crown types, and rarely chip or break. The biggest negative of this type of dental crown is the metallic color. They are ideal for molars in the back of your mouth, that are not visible.
