Crown materials explained
- Full metal (for example gold, white gold or palladium): very strong and durable, good for back teeth with heavy chewing force.
- All-ceramic / zirconia: closest to a natural tooth and can match many shades; good for front teeth and for people allergic to metal.
- Porcelain fused to metal (PFM): a metal structure with a ceramic surface, combining strength with a tooth-coloured look.
- All-resin: lower cost and moderate strength, can break more easily; mainly used as a temporary crown while the final crown is made.
- Stainless steel: not tooth-coloured, but needs fewer visits; used on baby teeth in children, and falls out naturally when the adult tooth comes in.
Benefits and limits of crowns
| Benefits | Limits |
|---|---|
| Fixed firmly, so no worry about it coming loose when eating or talking | More tooth is shaped than for a filling |
| Strengthens the tooth and helps prevent fractures | Costs more and takes longer than a filling |
| More durable than ordinary filling materials | Some sensitivity can occur after the crown is fitted |
| Neighbouring teeth do not need to be cut down | |
| Can improve the colour and shape of the tooth |
If you are worried about sensitivity or swelling, rinse with salt water at least 3 times a day and use a high-fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash.

What is a dental crown?
A cap that fits over a tooth to protect and restore it, for example after large decay, a break or root canal treatment.
How much does a crown cost?

Which material suits front teeth?
All-ceramic crowns look closest to natural teeth, so they suit front teeth and people with metal allergies.

Making the crown takes about 2–3 weeks, and you wear a temporary crown in between.
Are there downsides?
More tooth is removed than for a filling, it costs more and takes longer, and you may have some sensitivity afterwards.
How do I care for a crown?
Care for it like a normal tooth: brush twice a day, floss and see your dentist every 6 months.
