Is there a huge difference in Lava Crowns vs Porcelin Crowns in terms of the durability, strength, lasting longer?
Q. Good morning Dr. Moore Is there a huge difference in Lava Crowns vs Porcelin Crowns in terms of the durability, strength, lasting longer? The cost is enormously different $200.00 copay vs $1,050.00 copay. Am I bette off sticking with the ceramic?? By the way these are tooth no. 15, 18, 3, 31. As you can see this is going to be a huge bill. Is it worth it! Why? Thanks
A. Lava crowns are stronger than normal porcelain. Its a difficult decision to guess which one is better as this depends on the patients bit ena dthe amount of tooth structure remaining. Both should give excellent aesthetics though
