Enhance Your Smile with Gold Crowns

Gold crowns are a blend of gold, copper, and other metals, designed to offer strength, durability, and a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth. They are resistant to corrosion, do not chip or break, and offer a solid bond to your natural teeth, making them an excellent option for tooth restoration.

Key Benefits of Gold Crowns

Durability: Gold crowns are incredibly strong and resistant to wear.
Corrosion Resistant: Gold crowns do not corrode over time, making them a long-term option.
Solid Bond: Gold crowns provide a secure bond to your tooth, preventing further damage.
Customizable: Gold crowns can be tailored to your needs, with real gold or non-precious options available.

What Are Gold Crowns Made Of?

Gold crowns are available in two main types:

Non-precious metal crowns: These crowns can be gold or silver in appearance, depending on the metals used.
Precious gold crowns: Made from real gold, these crowns never corrode and are more costly, depending on the gold content and design.

Detailed Procedure for Gold Crowns

The procedure for placing a gold crown is similar to other crown placements. After an initial consultation, our dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay or damaged areas. Impressions will be taken to create a custom-fit crown. Once the crown is fabricated, it will be securely bonded to the tooth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are gold crowns better than other types of crowns?

Gold crowns are often considered superior because they provide exceptional durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Unlike porcelain or ceramic crowns—which may chip or fracture—gold crowns maintain their structural integrity even under heavy chewing forces. Although they may not offer the same natural appearance as porcelain crowns, their longevity and secure fit make them a preferred choice for restoring molars and high-stress teeth. Keywords such as “durable dental crowns,” “biocompatible crowns,” and “long-lasting gold crowns” highlight these advantages.

How long do gold crowns last?

With proper care, gold crowns can last for decades – often 20 years or more. Their longevity is attributed to the strength and corrosion resistance of gold, making them a reliable and cost-effective solution for tooth restoration. Routine dental hygiene and regular check-ups help maintain their condition.

Will a gold crown damage my tooth?

No, gold crowns are highly biocompatible and gentle on opposing teeth due to their smooth surface. They are designed to provide a secure, protective fit that safeguards the remaining tooth structure, preventing further damage.

Are gold crowns recommended for front teeth?

Gold crowns are typically favored for restoring molars and premolars because of their durability and strength. For front teeth, many patients opt for porcelain or porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns to achieve a more natural aesthetic, although in some cases a gold crown may be used if strength is the primary concern.

How should I care for my gold crown?

Caring for your gold crown is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste, floss regularly to remove plaque, and schedule routine dental check-ups. Avoid biting on hard objects to prevent excessive wear, and follow any specific advice provided by your dentist.

Do gold crowns stain over time?

Gold crowns are highly resistant to staining and discoloration due to their non-porous, smooth surface. With proper oral hygiene, they will maintain their appearance for many years, ensuring a consistently bright and attractive smile.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for a gold crown?

Your dentist will evaluate your overall oral health, the condition of the underlying tooth, bite forces, and your aesthetic goals to determine if a gold crown is the right option. Gold crowns are especially suitable for restoring molars and premolars, where durability and longevity are critical.

After years of dental problems, I opted for All-on-4 implants. I was a bit nervous at first, but the procedure was easier than I thought. Now I have a full set of teeth that feel just like my own. I can smile and eat without a second thought. It’s made such a difference to my daily life.

I went to this dentist to have a consultation to see if they could finish off the work on my teeth, which was done by another dental clinic that went into liquidation after fitting my implants. I found Rikki and Ana very courteous and knowledgeable about the work I needed doing. I chose to have a full arch of teeth on my upper and a few teeth on the bottom. The whole process was explained at each stage, and the treatment went perfectly. I have now achieved my perfect smile, and I am over the moon with the result. I thank Rikki, Ana, and all the staff who are extremely polite and friendly, and I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in having similar work.

Cannot fault this dentist. Rikki and Ana made me feel at ease, explained all of the options, and are super nice people. They helped me cure my gum disease quickly and then continued with pain-free dental implants, which has given me back my confidence. No long waiting for appointments, and communication from them is excellent and professional. They also offer a great teeth whitening service. I seriously can't stop smiling; I am so happy with my treatment and would highly recommend The Dentist to anyone, and in particular to nervous patients like myself. Thank you, Rikki and Ana; you 100% met my expectations 🙂

This review is on behalf of my mum, who has been using this dentist for the past six months. However I myself have had a filling and hygienist appointment here, and couldn't recommend them enough. I'm usually an anxious patient, but Dr Rikki and his staff have made me feel at ease! "I started looking for a new dentist when I realised that my previous one was careless, as I got a root infection and a broken tooth shortly after visiting her. I asked around my friends for a good dentist, and they recommended The Dentist. I was told that this place charges more, but is very much worth it because they save teeth other dentists would rather pull. The doctor did a thorough check up on my teeth and started the treatment. I've received a root canal and a tooth extraction of my broken tooth. I have decided to go ahead and get two tooth implants put in- one to replace the newly removed tooth, and the second to fill a gap from a tooth I had pulled 21 years ago. So far I've had a bone graft and one of the implants fully carried out. I've also had a crown put in, and I'm currently due to have the second one put in soon. I would highly recommend this dentist because they work to a high professional standard, carry out their work fast and thoroughly, with jewellery-like precision. Most importantly I feel like I have their complete attention and care, which is something I found my past dentists to be lacking, as they often seemed to be distracted. Even if you have a poor understanding of English, they do a great job of explaining everything. I've not had any complications during my treatment, and I am very happy. The doctor and the nurse are brilliant. I would highly recommend using this practice." "
