First, your dentist will apply anesthetic to numb the tooth getting the crown and the surrounding gum tissue. Then, they’ll use a dental drill and an abrasive bur to remove the outer surface of the tooth on the top and all sides, creating enough room for the crown to be placed. The most commonly used is the porcelain fused to metal crown (a PFM). The second kind of crown is the full gold crown. A well-done full gold crown is probably the best type of crown there is, but some patients object to it because it is not esthetically pleasing to the eye.
