Full Metal Crowns

Full metal crowns are dental restorations made entirely from metal. They are known for their exceptional strength and durability, making them suitable for areas of the mouth that experience heavy chewing forces. These crowns are typically used in posterior teeth where appearance is less critical.

Advantages of Full Metal Crowns

Exceptional Durability

Full metal crowns are highly resistant to fracture, wear, and chipping, making them ideal for posterior teeth that endure significant chewing forces.

Long-Lasting These crowns typically have a long lifespan, often outlasting other types of crowns, especially in high-stress areas.
Minimal Tooth Reduction Metal crowns usually require less removal of the natural tooth structure compared to some other types of crowns, preserving more of the tooth.
Biocompatibility Many metal alloys used in full metal crowns are biocompatible, meaning they are less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation.

Disadvantages of Full Metal Crowns

Aesthetic Limitations

Full metal crowns lack the natural appearance of porcelain or ceramic crowns. They are typically not used for visible teeth due to their metallic color.

Potential for Allergic Reactions Some metal alloys, particularly those containing nickel, can cause allergic reactions or sensitivities in certain patients.
Cost Variability Gold crowns, being made from precious metals, can be quite expensive compared to other types of crowns, such as those made from base metals.

Our recommendation

Full metal crowns offer unparalleled strength and durability, establishing them as a dependable choice for posterior restorations. Their impressive resistance to wear and long-lasting performance are commendable, although factors like aesthetic considerations and potential allergic reactions may influence their appropriateness. The choice to utilize them is typically informed by the individual needs of the patient and the precise location of the restoration.
