Full Cast Gold Crowns & Bridges

Full Cast Gold Crowns and Bridges

Full cast gold crowns and bridges are one of the most durable and reliable options for restoring damaged or missing teeth. Made entirely of gold or a gold alloy, these restorations are known for their strength, biocompatibility, and long-term wear resistance. While they may not be as aesthetically seamless as porcelain restorations, they are ideal for patients looking for a durable, functional solution that can withstand the pressures of daily chewing and biting.

Why Choose Full Cast Gold Crowns and Bridges?

• Exceptional Durability: Gold is incredibly strong and wear-resistant, making full cast gold crowns and bridges an excellent choice for back teeth where durability and strength are most important. These restorations can withstand heavy biting forces and are less likely to crack or chip compared to other materials.
• Biocompatible and Non-Irritating: Gold is highly biocompatible, meaning it is less likely to cause adverse reactions in the mouth. It also doesn’t irritate the gums or surrounding tissues, making it a great option for patients with sensitive mouths or those prone to allergies.
• Perfect Fit and Comfort: Full cast gold crowns and bridges are custom-made to fit each patient’s unique dental anatomy. The material's malleability allows for a precise fit, reducing the need for adjustments after placement and ensuring a comfortable experience for the patient.
• Long-Lasting Solution: Gold restorations are known for their longevity. When properly maintained, full cast gold crowns and bridges can last many years, even decades, providing a cost-effective solution over the long term.
• Stable and Reliable: Unlike some other materials, gold does not shrink, warp, or discolor over time. This ensures the restoration remains stable and retains its original shape and function throughout the years.

Procedure and Aftercare

The process for placing a full cast gold crown or bridge typically involves multiple appointments. First, the damaged tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken. These impressions are then used to create a custom restoration that is precisely fitted to the patient's mouth. Once the gold restoration is ready, it is placed and adjusted for comfort and function.

Aftercare is essential to ensure the longevity of gold crowns and bridges. Patients should follow a regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, and visiting their dentist for routine check-ups to ensure the restoration remains in optimal condition.
