When it comes to cost, gold crowns are the most expensive. E-Max crowns are next, followed by zirconia and porcelain.
When it comes to crowns that give you the most natural finish, E-max crowns win this round. They are followed in order by porcelain, zirconia and gold. This means that E-max is the ideal solution for front teeth. The less aesthetically appealing options are suitable for posterior teeth.
In terms of durability, zirconia and gold are the most durable. This makes them ideal for the back teeth, where the pressure of the chewing mechanism must be the greatest. When it comes to porcelain and E-max crowns, both options are durable. However, they are more effective on the front teeth.
Are dental bridges worth it?
Dental bridges are an excellent option when dental implants are being considered for the entire mouth. On the one hand, it is a good approach to keep in mind when it comes to reducing costs. Also, unlike All-on-4, this option does not require the extraction of remaining teeth. The dentist can even use them as abutments and supports for the dental bridge.
Advantages of using dental bridges for full-mouth dental implants
– Very good value for money
