Crowns are an ideal restoration option to protect teeth that have been broken down, or have been significantly weakened by decay, extensive filling or root canal treatment . Crowns can be made of a variety different materials .Some of the most popular type of crowns are 1. All-ceramic crowns, 2.Porcelain bonded to precious metal 3.Gold alloy crowns

All-ceramic crowns: 

Traditionally tooth colored crowns( porcelain bonded metal crowns) needed to be made with a metal foundation because the porcelain material were relatively weak and prone to fracture in service. Today however, with Improvements in materials and advances in adhesive dentistry crowns can be made of   high strength, durable, metal-free,  tooth colored ceramics.The tooth-coloured ceramic material is translucent, like the enamel of your natural teeth and the absence of a metal substructure allows ceramic crowns to be made with superior aesthetics and enhanced biocompatibility. This means that you can have  beautiful crowns on your teeth that look and feel  exactly like the natural teeth.

Ceramic crowns do not leave a black line at the gum level as seen in so many convennaturaltional crowns.
