Another casualty of outsourcing and of trade with China.

If you can, ALWAYS pay more for non-metallic crowns. The bonus is that they look almost exactly like teeth, too.

I had one break the other week, it looked like porcelain on the outside but the inside was lined with some metallic looking stuff, never thought anything of it. I can’t tolerate the metal temporary crowns at all, instant pain.

I wonder if there’s any dentists here who could comment ?

Aren't they typically porcelain bonded to metal? I don't see how they could be completely non-metallic.
