After having to deal with months of problems with a crown on #19 molar I am having it popped off and redone by a different dentist. my question is, what type of crown is better? The one I have is porcelin fused to a base metal--pimarily nickel. the trouble i have with it is that I have a metallic taste on it--like having a piece of aluminun in my mouth, and I feel a popping sensation under the crown when I eat or drink anything cold.
What type of metal should I have fused to the porcelin this time? I have heard that all porcelin crowns aren't as sturdy, and I have other crowns with metal in them, so I know I am not allergic to metal or anything, but I need to find something that I can't taste and will fit properly. Thanks
