What is Gold Crown?
A gold crown is a type of dental restoration made from a gold alloy and applied to the tooth. This crown, placed over the outer surface of the tooth, fully covers it, enhancing its aesthetic appearance while also strengthening its functional properties. Gold is a durable, biocompatible material that fits the tooth perfectly and lasts a long time. It is preferred especially to maintain the structural integrity of the tooth and improve chewing function.

- Long-lasting: Can last for years.

- Highly durable: Strong chewing power.
- Protective effect: Shields the tooth.
- Aesthetic: Close to a natural appearance.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Why Is It Popular?
Gold crown treatment primarily offers a functional solution rather than an aesthetic one. It is much more durable and long-lasting compared to other types of crowns. Gold enhances chewing power, providing both strength and confidence in the mouth. Additionally, as a biocompatible material, it is easily accepted by the body, with an extremely low risk of allergic reactions. Over time, gold adapts to the natural structure of the tooth, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing outcome. Compared to other crown types, it causes less damage to the tooth and provides better protection, making it a preferred choice for many individuals.
How Is Gold Crown Treatment Applied?
Dental Examination and Planning:
The dentist assesses the condition of the tooth and plans the gold crown treatment according to the patient’s needs.
Tooth Preparation:
The tooth is prepared for the crown by being slightly reshaped to create a suitable surface.
Taking Impressions:
Impressions of the teeth are taken to create a custom gold crown.
Crown Fabrication:
The laboratory produces the gold crown based on the impressions taken.
Placing the Crown:
The gold crown is placed onto the tooth, securely fixed, and final adjustments are made.
Is There Any Pain or Discomfort?
Local anesthesia is used during the gold crown procedure, so the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. The preparation and reshaping of the tooth are generally painless as well. Some individuals may experience mild sensitivity after the procedure, but this usually subsides quickly. The treatment process is completed comfortably without significant discomfort.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Gold crown treatment is typically completed in 2-3 sessions. In the first session, the tooth is prepared, and impressions are taken, which takes about 1-2 hours. In the second session, the gold crown, produced in the laboratory, is placed onto the tooth. The laboratory process usually takes about 1-2 weeks. Gold crowns can be applied quickly and yield results in a short time.
How Long Does Healing Take?
The healing process after a gold crown procedure is usually fast. Most patients can return to their daily activities within 2-3 days. Mild sensitivity or swelling may occur in the first few days, but these symptoms disappear within a few days. The full adaptation process takes 1-2 weeks, and patients quickly get used to their new gold crowns, achieving high satisfaction with the results.
