Dental crowns are typically made from either metal (including gold), porcelain such as zirconia or reinforced composite resin materials that mimic the colour and shape of natural teeth.

The cost of a dental crown varies widely depending on the type of crown and where it is being done. For example, choosing metal-based alloys like gold and palladium will cost you more than porcelain or reinforced composite resinmaterials. Factors such as the type of material used, how many teeth are involved, the size of the area to be covered, the location in your mouth, and insurance coverage (if any) will impact the final cost. Before deciding, it is best to speak to your dentist about the exact price.

A capped tooth is a dental procedure in which the visible portion of a tooth (or teeth) is restored by covering it with a cap (crown). The material used for the crown can be gold, porcelainor reinforced composite resin. Capping teeth has become increasingly popular as it helps improve the appearance and longevity of the tooth structure.

The primary purpose of capping a tooth is to protect its integrity against decay and damage caused by chewing or grinding. It also covers up any discolouration or cracks that may have occurred due to age, poor nutrition habits, trauma from an accident, etc., making it aesthetically pleasing again.

Furthermore, when a patient has had root canal treatment completed on one or more teeth in their mouth, capping those treated teeth will ensure long-term protection over time – ensuring they remain structurally sound and free from infection despite any post-treatment events that may occur.
