Gold Crowns

Gold Crowns in Ormond Beach, FL

When it comes to durability and timeless elegance, gold crowns remain a popular choice for restoring and protecting damaged teeth. At Dan Drake DDS and Associates in Ormond Beach, FL, we offer high-quality gold dental crowns designed to provide long-lasting functionality and a unique aesthetic. Whether you’re addressing decay, fractures, or cosmetic concerns, gold crowns can deliver a solution that stands the test of time.

What Are Gold Crowns?

Gold crowns are dental restorations made primarily from gold or gold alloys. They are used to cover and protect teeth that have been compromised due to decay, cracks, or significant wear.

Gold crowns have been a trusted restorative option in dentistry for decades due to their unparalleled durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. They are especially suitable for back teeth (molars) where strength is critical for chewing and grinding.

Benefits of Gold Crowns

Gold crowns offer numerous advantages, including:

  • Exceptional Durability: Gold crowns are resistant to chipping, cracking, and wear, often lasting decades with proper care.

  • Gentle on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike harder materials, gold is less abrasive, reducing the risk of wear on adjacent teeth.

  • Custom Fit: Gold crowns provide a precise fit, ensuring comfort and functionality.

  • Biocompatibility: Gold is well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

  • Timeless Aesthetic: While not tooth-colored, gold crowns have a unique and classic appearance that many patients find appealing.

When Are Gold Crowns Recommended?

Gold crowns may be recommended for:

  • Teeth with significant decay or damage.

  • Restoring teeth after a root canal treatment.

  • Replacing old or failing crowns.

  • Patients seeking a durable and low-maintenance option for tooth restoration.

Gold crowns are particularly ideal for molars and other teeth that endure heavy chewing forces

The Gold Crown Process

At Dan Drake DDS and Associates, we prioritize precision and patient comfort throughout the crown placement process:

  1. Initial Consultation

    • We begin with a thorough examination and digital imaging to determine if a gold crown is the best option for your needs.

  2. Tooth Preparation

    • The damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining structure is shaped to accommodate the crown.

    • Impressions of your tooth are taken to ensure a custom fit.

  3. Temporary Crown Placement

    • While your gold crown is being fabricated in a dental lab, a temporary crown is placed to protect your tooth.

  4. Crown Placement

    • Once your custom gold crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth, and adjustments are made for a comfortable bite.

Caring for Your Gold Crown

Gold crowns require minimal maintenance but benefit from proper oral care:

  • Brush and floss regularly to maintain the health of the surrounding gums and teeth.

  • Avoid chewing on excessively hard objects to protect your crown and other teeth.

  • Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor your crown and overall oral health.

With good care, gold crowns can last 20 years or more, making them a sound investment in your oral health.
