Gold Crown Dentistry

JVRT Gold Cosmetic Crowns Tucson Reconstructive Dental Photos

Many people wonder about how long a crown should last and if the life of a crown depends mostly on oral hygiene and other factors.

The factors involved with longevity are the specific materials used, the type of crown, the quality of the laboratory engaged in the manufacture, the competence of the dentist and the level of cooperation the patient was able to provide during the procedures.

Longevity of Gold versus Porcelain

Gold based crowns typically outlive porcelain crowns 3 to 1. Safe, durable, and pliable; no other material can offer all the outstanding qualities that gold combines. Internationally, it the undisputed material of choice for long-term quality dental repairs. Gold becomes a really cost-effective choice.

Gold requires Less Tooth Preparation

Any tooth requiring a crown has understandably become a weakened tooth. The use of gold crown material requires less invasive preparation of the existing tooth compared to porcelain. Couple this with the fact that a porcelain crown abrades the opposing tooth structures at a rate 20 times that of natural teeth. Gold is as gentle to opposing teeth as natural teeth.

Investing in Gold Endurance

With today's modern emphasis on optimal cosmetic result and ideal dental function (bite), gold based crowns are ideally suited for replacing and augmenting posterior (rear) teeth and biting surfaces. Combined with other cosmetic procedures, the selective use of gold crowns will assure optimal dental function that can endure anywhere from 20 to 50 years, a quality not shared by posteriorly placed porcelain crowns.

Dr. Anderson has maintained a primary focus on the use of gold in restorative and reconstructive dentistry in his practice possibly longer than any other dental care provider in the Pima County area.
