What materials do you use for crowns and bridges? Crowns and bridges can be constructed from a variety of materials, such as dental alloy, dental porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. The colour options available are gold, silver, or a colour match with your teeth.
Can I choose the type of crown used? Yes, you can. Our dentists provide details of all the options available and the associated costs however, the final choice is left to the patient.
Are crowns without metal available? Yes, it would be one of our cosmetic crowns which offer the most natural look.
