My son  is six and he needs to have a crown on one of his back molars.  The dentist was wanting to put a metal crown on his back tooth but I do not want him to have a ugly metal crown.  I would like him to have a full porcelain crown so that it looks like his other teeth.  Is that possible or can he only have a metal crown?
