What are the pros and cons of different types of crowns?
In general, your dentist works with three types of crowns.

Porcelain fused to metal crowns are both affordable and sturdy, but the metal portion can begin to show through after periods of wear. These crowns are traditionally fitted to the premolar and anterior teeth.
Emax crowns all-ceramic crowns and looks great on your teeth. Ceramic crowns are an excellent option to fit toward the front of your mouth.
All standard dental hygiene habits, such as regular brushing and flossing, can help extend the life of your crown by preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
Also, avoid chewing hard foods with your crown.
Why choose inlays and onlays?
Inlays and onlays are tough. They can also prolong the life of your tooth, eliminating the need for future dental treatments.
