I am having to get a crown and my dental insurance states they cover for full metal and porcelain fused to metal crowns.   My dentist said he would do either and a course the full metal crown are much more affordable for me.

The tooth that I need a crown on is all the way in back on one of my molars.   I am really do not care about it being metal since no one really going to see it anyway.  But beyond just what they look like is there other differences that I should know of before making my choice.

Reply: There is no question that a porcelain fused to metal crown will look way better the a full metal crown.   Full metal crowns are normally stainless steel were is the porcelain fused to high noble metal would be a much better material to use.

In the end it is up to you and what you feel you can live with. Even though you maybe able to change the crown latter you may not be covered to do so. Give it some thought before deciding.
