Dental crowns can be made from a range of materials, from gold to metal alloy, but the majority are a mix of metal with a porcelain shell. Once it has been decided that crowns are your best option your dentist will clean the tooth, removing any decay while reshaping it with a burr to prepare it for the crown.
