There are different factors that may contribute to erosion, cracking and breaking of your teeth, such as age, fillings or tooth decay. In cosmetic dentistry, crowns are used to solve these kinds of problems. Dental crowns cover the entire surface of the affected tooth adding strength, durability and stability.Basically, there are three types of crowns: those made out of metal ideal for the back teeth; porcelain, recommended for front teeth; and porcelain fused with metal that are strong and have a natural appearance.
Dental Crowns can help to improve the appearance and health of your teeth, and they provide protection for future cracks or tooth decay.

Cosmetic dentists use porcelain crowns in the front teeth because their appearance a more like a real tooth than their metal counterparts. They can be used in the front or back teeth to give a more natural appearance.
All-porcelain dental crowns give an even more natural looking appearance than porcelain fused to metal crowns. They are a good choice for front teeth; however they are not as resistant as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal is a crown with a metal base and a porcelain cap. It is strong and resistant. The main disadvantage of PFM´s to all porcelain is that sometimes a dark line can be seen in the bottom edge of the crown.

When a tooth is fractured, has a large old filling, or is severely damaged by decay, your dentist may recommend the placement of a crown. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile.
