I’m getting my crowns renewed, what type should I get?
Q.
Hello Mark, I am due to have my Caps re newed as they were fitted over 25 years ago. The top is black & my dentist has suggested having the porcelain caps (all white) and not with the black bit going through the tooth. With the black it would be £280 & without would be £380 each & i need 4. Please could you give me your opinion as to which one to get this time & how long would they last. Thank you very much for your help, kind Regards.

For aesthetic reasons , having all-porcelain crowns is usually more advisable. These days, this type of crown, if properly selected and well made, can be as strong as the porcelain – metal crowns you previously had

For a more accurate answer I’d advise that you ask the opinion of a good cosmetic dentist – there’s no harm in getting a second opinion before proceeding with any treatment, and you will get advice as to your suitability for this treatment
Hope that helps
