CB Dentists: what is the best material for a crown?

For esthetics, porcelain.

High noble gold. Obviously not for esthetics

If I ever needed a crown for a molar I'd choose gold. Wouldn't hesitate

Depends. Some insurances cover only gold.

one of the great characteristics of gold is that it wears similar

Go with a Bruxzir on molar tooth if esthetics are concerning.

No, in fact, it looks terrible. Metal isn't translucent and makes the tooth

Prefer simple gold crown with sapphires that match my eye color for everyday use
