A member asked:
Do you know how strong are tooth build ups/caps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caps strongest : Buildups are not a definitive restoration. Crowns (caps) are the stongest restoration in dentistry. Build ups are placed to help reinforce or replace deficient tooth structure under crowns prior to making them. Gold is the strongest type of crown. Zirconium oxide is a strong white alternative and porcelain is the best looking. Talk to yout dentist about which type is best for you.
