Gold Dental Restoration

Gold dental restoration advantages

• Gold restorations historically last the longest and better conserve precious tooth structure.
• Gold is similar to tooth structure in hardness, and in the way it expands and contracts. Gold restorations are inert and do not tarnish.
• Gold restorations also do not wear other teeth they contact, unlike harder restoration materials like ceramic crowns.
• Gold restorations typically require less reduction of the area to be restored, preserving more of the tooth than other restorations.
• Gold is ideal for the back teeth where it is least visible and is the longest lasting of all filling materials.

Gold dental restorations disadvantages

• Often gold is not esthetically pleasing in a person's mouth and therefore is usually reserved for the back of the mouth and other less visible locations.

Most dentists would agree that the best restorative material is gold.

Drs. Abney and Hill are experienced and skilled in using gold inlays, onlays, and crowns and are proud to provide their patients with conservative and lasting restorations.
