PFM
Although we are known for our all-ceramic veneers and crowns, we also offer porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns (PFM). These highly proven restorations can be used in many different situations and can be fabricated with several different alloy types including High Gold (98%), Captek, Yellow Gold or White Gold.Our skilled metal department can make your framework to your specifications, so it – along with the attachments, rests or implant work – is fabricated just the way you expected it. By having experienced technicians working with high quality metal and porcelain, we consistently produce natural-looking restorations, which have good fit and function.
Full Gold Crown
Full gold crowns offer several advantages in restorative dentistry. One significant benefit is their exceptional durability and longevity. Gold is known for its resistance to wear and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for dental crowns that must withstand the forces of biting and chewing. Additionally, gold crowns exhibit a high level of biocompatibility, meaning they are well-tolerated by the surrounding tissues and are less likely to cause allergic reactions. Another advantage lies in the minimal tooth reduction required for crown placement, as gold crowns can be fabricated with thinner walls compared to some other materials, preserving more of the natural tooth structure. The ease of fabrication and precision in fitting are also notable advantages, ensuring a snug fit that contributes to the overall success and longevity of the restoration. While the esthetic appeal of gold may not be as high as some other materials, the functional and clinical advantages make full gold crowns a valuable option in certain dental scenarios.
