I worked in a dental office for a few years and I have done alternative
dentistry research. There really is no such thing as a good crown. I would
take composite or porcelain over the metals but know that the tooth will
eventually fail. No material will completely prevent further decay and you
won't know it is happening until the crown fails because it is opaque to
xrays.

Subject: [eSens] Dental materials-Crowns, etc





Does anyone have any experience or info about crown materials, etc? I am
going to need to get a crown replaced.
My Dentist recommended High Noble which has more Gold than other materials.
I have been reading about Titanium and Zirconium but I don't know of any
dentists who use these materials. You can also get all porcelain without a
metal base but I hear they aren't as sturdy.
My Dentist also wants to replace the sole amalgam I have in my mouth but I
wonder if Composite is completely safe also.
