Explanation of fused ceramic with metal dental crowns
A ceramic dental crown cast on metal is a type of dental restoration that covers a tooth to restore its size and shape and protects it from further damage. It is composed of metal alloy and ceramic material. The metal alloy component of the crown adds strength, enabling it to withstand pressure during chewing. The ceramic element provides excellent aesthetic benefits and allows the crown to blend in with the color of the natural teeth.

Questions & Answers
The pros and cons of a ceramic crown fused to metal
Ceramic dental crowns fused with metal offer an ideal combination of strength and appearance. They can withstand greater pressure and are more aesthetically pleasing than metal alloy or gold alloy dental crowns. However, they do not offer the same level of strength as metal alloys.
When a ceramic crown fused with metal is recommended
Ceramic dental crowns fused to metal are used for a variety of reasons. Specifically, a dentist may recommend a ceramic crown fused to metal to address the following problems:
- Chipped teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Worn teeth
- Teeth with caries
Root canal therapy removes diseased or decayed parts of a tooth and restores its health. The ceramic crown cast on metal, in this case, protects the tooth from further damage and restores its shape and appearance.
Other types of dental crown material options to consider
The dentist may recommend porcelain fused to metal or another type of dental crown. Other options include:
- Ceramics
- Metal alloy
- Gold alloy
Each material option has its advantages and disadvantages. The best way for a patient to decide whether a porcelain fused to metal dental crown or another type of dental crown is right for them is to visit a dentist for a consultation.
