About metal crown

A metal dental crown (or porcelain-fused-to-metal/PFM crown) is a cap that covers a damaged tooth entirely, restoring its shape, size, and strength. Metal crowns are made from alloys containing gold, nickel, or chromium. PFM crowns have a metal base with a porcelain exterior for a more natural appearance.

Is a metal crown better than ceramic?
Metal crowns are more durable and cheaper but less aesthetic. For back teeth where appearance is less important, metal or PFM crowns are excellent. For front teeth, ceramic or zirconia crowns look more natural.
Does getting a crown hurt?
The tooth preparation is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel no pain. After the anaesthesia wears off, there may be mild sensitivity for a few days.
