Types of Dental Crowns Rocklin, CA
If you have advanced tooth decay, a filling is not the best option. Our dentists will recommend placing dental crowns. These caps offer protection and will save your natural tooth. If you have any defects on your teeth our dentists at Smile Island Pediatric & Adult Dental Group will help restore your bite and ensure you have a more confident smile. Depending on your budget and your preferences, you have the freedom to choose the following materials.
Gold Crowns
Gold is a soft material that poses minimal damage to the surrounding teeth. The material is able to bond strongly to the damaged tooth or dental implant. Their durability is also appealing and can be able to withstand high pressure from grinding and chewing food. The only drawback of the gold material is it does not camouflage with your existing teeth. They are very noticeable and will not look natural. Their costs are also significantly high compared to other materials.
Ceramic Crowns
Ceramic crowns are the best for restoring the beauty of your front teeth. They have a sheen appearance and blend well with the other teeth. Other benefits of ceramic crowns include durability, they withstand high pressure, and don’t easily fracture.
Metal Crowns
Metal dental crowns are another great alternative. These materials are very durable compared to other options. They are resistant to fracturing and corrosion. Metal has a high bonding ability to your teeth and will necessitate for less tooth structure removal when placing dental crowns. However, for people who are allergic to metal products, this option might not be the best.
Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns help to restore damaged teeth to their natural look. These crowns focus more on the beauty of your teeth and are designed to mimic your other teeth. If you need a crown for the front teeth the porcelain material is the best. They are also durable options and will last for five to 15 years. The success rate of the porcelain material bonding with your tooth or implant is very high.
Zirconia Crowns

It is a biocompatible solution and will not elicit any side effects. Our dentists use this material to make same day crowns. Also, for patients with a history of cracked or fractured crowns, this is the best material.
