Dental crowns<\/a> are one of the most reliable ways to protect and repair damaged teeth, which is why they\u2019ve been used for decades. In the past, dental crowns were made of sturdy materials like silver, gold, and amalgamations of other metals. However, thanks to new advancements in dentistry, these shiny restorations aren\u2019t your only option anymore. Metal-free crowns made from color-matched dental porcelain are quickly becoming the preferred way to restore damaged or weakened teeth. If you have a metal crown, consider these five important reasons to switch to a metal-free alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1.) You\u2019ll Feel More Confident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever worried about having your metal crown show during a family gathering, time out with friends, or in a picture? Whether you realize it or not, if you don\u2019t feel confident in the way your teeth look, you\u2019ll naturally smile less and feel more self-conscious. Swapping for a metal-free crown could give you a confidence boost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Metal Crowns Change How Others See You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A metal crown could make you look older than you actually are! Since metal crowns are no longer the most common restoration, showing off a classic crown may cause people to think you\u2019re older. Plus, countless studies have shown that beautiful, metal-free smiles appear more friendly, more successful, and more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Prevent Tooth Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While metal crowns are quite effective at protecting teeth, it\u2019s common for them to cause tooth sensitivity over time. Metal expands and contracts when it comes in contact with very hot or cold temperatures, which can damage your enamel and cause it to feel sensitive. Not only are metal-free crowns impervious to temperatures, but they also bond to enamel better, which more effectively seals out sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) You Won\u2019t Have to Worry About Toxins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a metal allergy or sensitivity, a metal crown can feel quite uncomfortable. Additionally, metal crowns often contain very small amounts of mercury. While these levels are well-within industry regulations and should not make you sick, some patients are still concerned to hear that there is mercury in their smile. Switching to a metal-free crown ensures that you only have bio-compatible materials in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Metal Crowns Can Interfere with X-Rays & MRIs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to advanced technology like digital X-rays and MRIs, your dentist and doctor can take a look beneath the surface to discover underlying issues. However, these pieces of equipment do not behave properly when it comes to metal. For your safety and for the most accurate results, it\u2019s a good idea to replace your metal crown with a metal-free alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to say goodbye to that metallic spot in your smile. Call your dentist today to learn more about why you should consider having your metal crown replaced with a metal-free restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
