As a retired person of the field of dentistry, and recipient of root canals & crowns, believe me, it's necessary. However, do NOT let your dentist talk you into a full porcelain crown on a molar (the cost is higher, that's why they want to do it). My 85 year old Father's dentist wanted to do that for him, and I refused to allow it. Boy, did I get a dirty look from the office manager. The pressure of chewing is too great and will crack the porcelain crown. For front teeth it's ok, but metal only on molars!!!!!!! I’m glad you listened to your dentist & got the crown.

Honestly, I have no idea what they used (pretty sure it’s metal) but my sister was the dental assistant (my mom is in the field too) so I’m sure it’s all good.
