Gold Crowns
Gold crowns are used mainly for your molar teeth due to the fact that they are not tooth coloured. Gold alloys used in dentistry are very strong and long lasting and as a result gold crowns can last for a very long time.
The amount of tooth preparation required for a gold crown is less than for tooth coloured crowns and has the advantage of preserving more tooth tissue.
Gold crowns are very gentle and non abrasive to opposing teeth and may be the best option for you if you have a very strong bite or a grinding habit (bruxism or bruxomania).
At The Dental Clinic we offer gold crowns as one of our comprehensive range of crown alternatives. For certain situations gold is the best option and it is true to state that many dentists have selected gold for their own crowns on their back teeth. At your detailed dental consultation your dentist will discuss all the options with you so that you can make an informed decision.
