That being said, this doesn&#8217;t mean you have to get a metal-based crown. Your dentist should understand it won&#8217;t do you any good to have a restoration which causes you to have reactions.<\/p>\n<p>A good dentist will see his patients as individuals and not insist on doing things the way he&#8217;s always done it. Instead, they will look for solutions.<\/p>\n<p>In your case, you can look for a dentist who is willing to give you a zirconia crown. These are non-metal but are still strong enough for back teeth. They&#8217;re not as commonly used because they&#8217;re a new medium. However, a dentist who keeps up with his or her field will be willing to work with them for a patient in your situation.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Put Off Needed Dental Care because of a Bad Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>If you need a dental crown, don&#8217;t put it off because your dentist isn&#8217;t willing to do the work necessary to find a solution for you. Call around to other dentists and explain your situation. You are bound to find someone who is willing to fit you in fairly quickly, even as a new patient.<\/p>\n<p>If you have trouble finding one. Try doing an internet search using the term &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/emergency-dentist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">emergency dentist<\/a>&#8220;. While this isn&#8217;t technically an emergency, it can quickly turn into one if the crown gets neglected. Letting them know that your dentist won&#8217;t provide the type of crown you need may encourage them to schedule you sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/libertyvilledentist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Libertyville Dentist<\/a> Dr. David Potts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have some pretty severe metal allergies and need a crown on a back tooth.
