Hello!
My dentist suggested crowns on my upper central incisors, which already have too many fillings. I would now like another opinion about what is more suitable at my age of 45: a metal-ceramic or an all-ceramic crown?
Thank you very much for your advice!! Joško

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

Both types of crowns are durable, functional, aesthetic, resistant to fracture and abrasion, and non-allergenic. They do not differ in the essential properties that a crown must have. Unlike a metal-ceramic crown, an all-ceramic crown transmits light and thus imitates the optical properties of natural dental tissues, which is why we use it more often in the visible area. Top-level aesthetics require an all-ceramic crown. An all-ceramic crown is usually more expensive. Based on what has been written, I believe you must decide for yourself.

Have a nice day!
