I am having to get a crown and my dental insurance states they cover for full metal and porcelain fused to metal crowns.   My dentist said he would do either and a course the full metal crown are more  affordable for me.  The tooth that I need a crown on is one of my back molars.   I am really do not care about it being metal since no one really going to see it anyway.  But beyond just what they look like is there other differences that I should know of before making my choice.

Reply: Porcelain-Fused to Metal Crown: This type of crown provides a stronger bond than regular porcelain because it is connected to a metal structure. It’s also extremely durable.

All-Metal Crown: These types of restorations are made using gold or “white” (silver-colored) dental alloy. They are known for their great strength and exceptional durability.

No one type of crown makes the best choice for all circumstances.  Look wise people are moving away from all metal crowns towards porcelain/porcelain fused to metal crowns.

The tooth that I need a crown on is all the way in back on one of  my back molars.   I am really do not care about it being metal since no one really going to see it anyway.  But beyond just what they look like is there other differences that I should know of before making my choice.
