Dental crowns?
I have had two ceramic crowns put in for molars and have had very good results with them. I'm probably going to have to have a 3rd one done as well because the filling has a crack in it and I will go with ceramic at that time as well. I don't even know what pfm is?

Reply:There are a lot of variables in determining what restoration would best suit your situation. Like for example are you a bruxer, what class occlusion you are etc.





As a dental laboratory owner, I would suggest that you go with what your dentist recommends as he is familiar with your unique situation.





Ceramic is sturdy but offers more of an aesthetic advantage. They do break occasionally.





PFM: this is optimal for strength and stability. Some times the shading can be a problem. You might want to request he put a porcelain shoulder margin on it to aid in shade compatibility.





Full Gold Crown: Gold is softer and wears at a more natural pace compared to the PFM which will abrade or breakdown your natural den-tissue faster. The only drawback is that its not as aesthetic as a porcelain fabrication.
