Features

  • Long-term wear characteristics

  • Full cast crowns can last for 30-40 years with good oral hygiene

  • Full cast gold is still one of the most wear friendly of dental materials and is extremely bio-compatible

  • Superior biocompatibility: gold crowns have been shown to have fewer pathogens due to highly polished, thin margin areas and the fact that the pathogens do not have an affinity for gold

  • Available in noble and high noble white and yellow alloys, and non-precious alloy
