Dental crowns are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. With precise colour-matching and craftsmanship, it's typically challenging for anyone to distinguish a crown from a natural tooth. Properly fitted and in a shade to match adjacent teeth, your crown should look and feel like a natural part of your smile. Alternatively, some patients might be better candidates for gold crowns. Gold is an excellent material and typically outlasts other crown materials. Gold is a warm colour, and while it would stand out more than a natural tooth colour, it blends in much better than the old silver fillings.
