Teenage Crown Plastic or Porcelain

January 22, 2012
Asked By:Ginad2

13 year old boy, injured his tooth and broke it 1/2 way up. It was suggested that he have a crown. We are left with the decision of a plastic or porcelain crown. Is it worth paying the money for the porcelain at this age? Or better to let him grow with the plastic and get the porcelain in a few years?
