What Is The Reason For Crown To Be "ceramic With A 7 Yr Warranty"?

I have a bottom rear molar in need of a crown. The dentist and I discussed the three types. I understood and agreed to have the crown made of gold. The dentist then took my chart and said, "I'm going to get them to add a white coat of porcelain if there is room."
When the crown was installed, I found out it was "ceramic with a 7 yr warranty". Why did this happen?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the ceramic crown is a tooth color restorative material which requires more tooth cutting than metal crowns. if sufficient space is there between upper and lower teeth then you can go for ceramic or if the tooth is root canal treated then you can go for ceramic restorations. the warranty will be there if the crown fractures or if the ceramic portion get chipped off then you can get it corrected free of cost. gold restoration are not esthetically acceptable because of its color but quality wise its very good. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
