• Covers discolored and irregularities in teeth in improving cosmetic appearance
• Helps preserve the natural function and position of the teeth
• Restores tooth with large decay, cavities or filings
• Supports the replacement teeth in a bridge

• Covers a dental implant
• Restore your smile
  

Types of Dental Crowns

There are three basic types of materials for dental crowns:

1. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental crowns
2. All porcelain dental crowns
3. All metal dental crowns (Gold)

Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) dental crowns and all porcelain crowns are tooth colored crowns. PFM dental crowns offer the best combination of aesthetics and durability. PFM dental crowns are usually used to restore back teeth where the forces of chewing and grinding are strongest. All porcelain crowns are the most aesthetic and are used primarily used for front teeth where the need for strength is not as critical. Gold dental crowns are the most durable and offer the most precise fit. Gold dental crowns does not chip.

The all-ceramic porcelain crowns used at Bangkok International Dental Center include the IPS Empress Esthetics crowns from Ivoclar Vivadent and Procera NobelEsthetics from Nobel Biocare .
