i have a couple of crowns, i don't really pay attention what kind i get, i go to a good dentist and i trust him, but he is very expensive even with insurance so it really sucks. but i have pretty bad teeth so i really need a dentist i can trust plus he specializes in pain-free procedures, i am a BIG BABY when it comes to pain.
anyway, one thing i would recommend to you is that make sure you get the kind of crown that you are not allergic to. my dentist told me that they used to use a certain type of crown a lot but then a lot of people turned out to be allergic to that type of metal material. (like it will irritate their gum) so just ask about that and try to get the one that most people aren't allergic to. and you also want to ask how long that type of crown will last you. you want to try to pick the longest lasting crown.
good luck to you! |
