Are new crowns better?

If you've been avoiding having your teeth crowned because you don't like the little metal line that sometimes shows at the gum line - there is good news! Dentists now are able to use "state of the art" "no metal" crowns. These all porcelain crowns can be very natural and kind to the gum tissue. The dentist and assistant will want to match the surrounding teeth to make it look the most natural. The key is to find a dentist who is skilled and works with a well trained lab. This will mean the difference between a "chiclet" crown and a blended, natural crown.
