Full Cast Gold Metal

 

Full-cast gold crowns represent the pinnacle of proven dental technology, offering unmatched longevity and biocompatibility with service lives exceeding 20-30 years, making them one of the strongest restoration options available today.

Crafted from high-noble metal alloys, these restorations allow for the most conservative tooth prep while providing superior marginal seal and natural wear characteristics that closely match natural enamel, making them gentle on opposing dentition.

Gold crowns withstand heavy chewing forces without chipping or breaking, and despite advances in ceramic technology, they remain a popular choice for experienced clinicians.

This makes them ideal for high-stress occlusal environments where maximum durability is essential and where patients value the distinctive appearance of quality dental care over tooth-colored aesthetics.
