1. Dental crowns have been around in dentistry for quite a long time and their utility in kids and adults has been unquestionable in dentistry. A dental crown is a dental restoration that cups over that portion of the tooth that lies above the gum line. The crowns are generally used to protect teeth and strengthen them. Dental crown are inserted into your oral cavity are going to protect your weak tooth that has been made weak either due to a mechanical reason or due to the infestation of infection caused by microbes and plaque. Research has shown that dental crowns are quite effective in strengthening teeth that have been cracked as crowns hold them together. People who have worn out tooth will find crowns as most effective as dental crowns build up the worn down teeth appearance. The dental crown will even fit if very less traces of the tooth have been left in the oral cavity. If you are going in for dental bridges or dental implants then dental crowns are most effective in covering them. Sometimes people need to hide their smile and teeth because they have badly shaped or discolored teeth. In many cases the discoloration maybe permanent that cannot be removed with the aid of teeth whitening techniques then dental crowns are quite effective. Dental crowns are extensively used to cover up these discolored or misaligned teeth.

2. Dental crowns are made up of different material and you can go in for any material depending upon the availability of the material and the advice of your dentist. You can also use your personal preference and budget to decide which kind of dental crown you are going to have for your teeth. All-ceramic or porcelain crowns form the most favorite material for dental crowns due to its easy availability and cost effectiveness although they are not as durable as metal dental crowns. They provide a natural look to the teeth and can be blended with your already existing teeth. Apart from that they are the best choice for people who are allergic to metallic dental crowns. All resin dental crowns are also available although they are quite cheap but are not preferred as they will wear down too fast and are also prone to fracture at a small mechanical injury. The best choice is the metal or porcelain fused metal dental crowns. Chromium and nickel are the metals that are used for metallic dental crowns. Metal crowns are generally used at the back of the jaw as their color will give a unique look to the teeth. They are sturdy and provide the best chewing experience to a human being who has them in his oral cavity.

3. Porcelain fused to metal can be used at the front of the teeth and color matching can be done easily in this case. But porcelain being prone to breakage they cannot match the sturdiness of the all metal dental crowns that are generally employed at the back of the oral cavity. Apart form that they may even harm the opposing teeth due to the metal content present in them.
