Materials for Tooth Caps

Gold caps and porcelain fused-to-metal caps for teeth

The gold cap is the simplest and easiest to prepare for and there is very minimal tooth structure removal and does not wear out the teeth over the years and is healthier for the gum although has a con of being less cosmetic-savvy in appearance. The porcelain cap, while matching the most with the natural teeth aesthetically, requires more removal of tooth structure and is more prone to contacting gingival inflammation. Porcelain fused-to-metal caps also have a natural appearance but the metal structure gives way to visible darker line at the edge of the cap as your gum recedes with age.
