Dental crowns are made of ...

At Courtyard Dental Care our dental crowns are most often made of highly durable ceramic in one visit using the CEREC technology.   Some crowns are made of gold or porcelain and when added strength is necessary, the porcelain crown may be built on a metal base.

Ceramic and porcelain crowns are so carefully matched in color; they cannot be distinguished from your natural teeth.  Most people choose ceramic or porcelain crowns for their cosmetic appearance and the confidence it gives them.

The new ceramic materials have a beautiful life like appearance.  It is less abrasive to the opposing teeth, more compatible with the gum tissue, more resistant to plaque build-up and can be done in one visit with no impressions or temporaries.

At Courtyard Dental Care we will discuss the types of materials best for you if we recommend a crown.  Call our Roseville office at 916-784-6300 or our Auburn office at 530-823-2568 for a complete evaluation of your cosmetic needs.
