Crowns to cover metal posts?

Question

Can you tell me what the best material in a crown would be to cover metal posts? These would be for the front teeth. Thank you.

Rachana Vora, DMD · Answer

Best material would be a Zirconia crown like Bruzxir or a Prismatic Zirconia crown ( zirconia crown with porcelain overlay). Zirconia is more opaque than porcelain and hence will cover the greyish shade from the metal posts.

Hi, thanks for write... The Zirconia crowns is the most sthetics material today, high resistance and strongest, E-max is another option. Regards

Should I extract molar that had decay just below the gum line rather than do root canal. Then post and crown. Is that correct?

My tempoary crown has fallen off 4 times in 7 days. Do I really need to continue getting it put back on at the dentist?
