Metal crown vs gold crown

7 Posts

Hi all,
This is my second post on a similar subject so please bear with me 😁
I need to have a crown fitted on a premolar, due to severe teeth grinding I have to have a metal crown and I need to decide between NHS metal and gold.
I hate the look of the gold crown and slightly resent spending next to £700 for such an ugly crown 😆 but I would like to understand how they compare regarding quality, durability, and most important fixing the issue (painful cracked tooth due to the grinding).
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
