Now a days dental crowns/caps are of good quality.
If u want an aesthetically pleasing crown with durability go in for zirconia crowns. Else PFM crowns are the most widely used crowns in dentistry.

Hi,
There are different kinds of crowns that can be recommended. Without knowing the extent of decay of the tooth, it is different to recommend which crown is suitable for you. Consult with your dentist and hear the options mentioned and then decide.
