Crowns and bridges can be made in a variety of materials like metal, metal ceramic, Zirconia and emax. Dr Bari Dental Clinic is the best dental clinic in Pune where we will help you choose the material best suited for your case.
A number of factors determine what crown and bridge material is best suited for your case. They are – position and location of tooth in the dental arch, remaining natural structure of the tooth, proximity to the pulp, existing decay and fillings, history of Root Canal treatment, missing teeth in adjacent areas, occlusal loading forces, dietary habits, any parafunctional habits and cost.

METAL: They are silver colored crowns and lack esthetics. Due to their strength, they were commonly used in back region of jaws until zirconia were introduced.
