Did you know that the average American will lose 12 adult teeth before their 50th birthday? Well, it's true! This statistic is both unfortunate and frightening, but it is also preventable. Taking care of your teeth and seeing your dentist regularly is crucial to keeping them in good condition. We will discuss some of the main types of crowns you can get today.

1. Gold or Silver

A common material used for dental crowns is gold. People like this metal because it is very strong and durable, which means it can last for decades if you maintain oral hygiene. Gold also causes very little damage to the teeth adjacent to the crown. For people who use materials like silver or porcelain, this damage can be a problem.
The only problem may be that some people do not like the color. However, if you don't mind, then this may be the right material for you!

2. Porcelain

If you don't like the color of a shiny crown, porcelain can certainly solve your problem. This material is almost identical to your natural teeth in terms of color and texture. While you may have heard that they can get stained if you drink a lot of coffee or red wine, this is not common enough for you to worry about. In addition, porcelain is a durable crown material that has been in use for decades.

3. Zirconia

Both gold and porcelain are amazing, time-tested options for dental crowns. However, as dentistry as a field advances, there are new techniques that are coming into play that work even better.
Zirconia block is an artificial stone with a Mohs hardness of 8.5. It is made from the metal zirconium, similar to titanium. Many dentists, including ours, use it to create strong and reliable dental applications.
Many dentists use zirconia crowns exclusively on molars and premolars because they are the teeth that are under the most pressure. Even if you chew and grind the hardest foods, you won't have to worry about your crowns breaking. It's also biocompatible, which means it won't cause sore or inflamed gums.

4 PEEK Blocks

Peek is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and chemical resistance that holds up at high temperatures. Peek block is used in the manufacture of demanding applications, including bearings, piston components, pumps, hplc columns, compressor plate valves, and cable insulation. It is one of the few plastics compatible with ultra-high vacuum applications. 
Compared to traditional metals and zirconia, peek blocks require no sintering and offer high precision, low density, light weight and soft texture. peek has excellent biocompatibility without releasing any incompatibilities with humans. Patients can enjoy greater comfort and look better.
