As a rule, gold used in dentistry has a fineness of 850 to 900, and may also include copper or silver as alloy impurities to increase strength.
Gold is a chemically neutral material, therefore it is actively used in dental prosthetics. It does not cause allergic reactions or rejection. Most often used for the production of dentures and bridges. If you still have dentures, crowns, discs or other materials made of gold, we are ready to offer the best price.

Installation of gold crowns: advantages and disadvantages
Gold in dentistry has a number of positive qualities, which is why it was widely used in the USSR, and is still used today. At the same time, it also has weaknesses. As usual, we have reflected them in a comparative table:
- Biocompatible with human tissues, do not cause rejection or allergies,
- The properties are similar to your own enamel, do not damage opposing teeth,
- Do not interact with food and saliva, do not darken over time,
- They have an anti-inflammatory effect, protect supporting units from caries,
- Durable and withstands chewing loads well,
- They have a service life of 15 to 20-25 years,
- They are easy for doctors to work with,
- They cannot crack or chip.
- Controversial aesthetics
- Needs enamel grinding
- High price.
As you can see, gold crowns have many more positive aspects. And you can “buy in additional aesthetics” by doing ceramic spraying. The teeth are both golden and, at the same time, white.
Features of crown manufacturing
But the manufacture of prostheses also requires certain conditions. The most important thing is the correct selection of the metal sample. Both the survival rate and the hardness of the substance depend on this indicator. Gold itself is a soft metal; if you use 999 grade in dentistry, it will not last long. Such a sample is easily deformed when bitten, and also quickly wears off. Its cost is also too expensive for the average person.
But if you take a low-grade alloy, it will also not work, since there are requirements for the alloy. If there is too much ligature, its ions gradually accumulate in the body and cause side effects. Local metallosis (accumulation of metal in the gums and adjacent teeth) may develop. And also certain alloys, for example, zinc and nickel, cause allergic reactions and blackening of neighboring areas. And some alloys can be carcinogenic.
Dental crowns are made to order in specialized dental clinics. Their cost will depend on the dollar exchange rate, which changes daily. This is explained by the fact that banks supply the precious metal to clinics. In particular, this service is offered by Sberbank of Russia.
Dental technicians shape the ingots and add the ligature. By the way, a sample can be found on some of them. The crown itself consists of a disk, as well as an upper part made of gold.
Since such a crown is completely unaesthetic, the cost of its installation is low. Dentistry is the only place where the cost of ceramics is higher than precious metals. There are several manufacturing methods:
- Stamping. These are the so-called fixes. Their advantage is cost. And the disadvantages are expressed in the inconvenience of use, curvature of the bite, loose fit to the gums, which is why inflammatory processes appear.
- Casting. It has an anatomically more correct shape and a tight fit. Although it is also not included in the concept of “esthetic dentistry”.
How are gold teeth made?
According to the manufacturing method, they can be:
- stamped;
- cast.
Stamped ones, as you might guess from their name, are made from standardized stamps - blanks. Their sizes are adjusted immediately before fixation in the dentition with dental cement mortar. Cast versions of prostheses are created separately - they are cast from gold using wax casts made in advance. They do not require any adjustment during installation, as they are pre-provided with the required dimensions. Accordingly, they are more expensive, and to install them, you need to sharpen the tooth enamel more than when installing stamped crowns.
What type of gold is used and how much does one crown cost? The answer is simple: gold is used from the 850th to the 900th standard. But often prostheses do not consist of pure metal, but of its alloy with copper and silver, which allows the prosthesis to be stronger. On average, the price per gram is about two thousand rubles. The entire dental crown will cost from ten thousand rubles. To compare prices, you can give the following table:
| Crown type | Prices (in rubles) |
| Gold prosthesis for one tooth | From 10000 |
| Metal-ceramic prosthesis (gold-based) | From 17000 |
| Zirconium dioxide design | From 13000 |
| Porcelain prosthesis for anterior tooth | From 16000 |
Preparation and installation of gold dental crowns
The process of preparing and manufacturing a prosthesis consists of the following stages:
- First, the tooth is prepared. He needs to be healthy, without caries. If necessary, carry out treatment, replace the filling, if it is old, if the tooth was on a pin, restore it, etc.
- Next, before starting the procedure, the tooth needs to be numbed.
- Now it has to be ground down to place a crown on it. Grind on each side, adjusting to the thickness of the crown being installed. Giving it the required shape, additionally small ledges are made for better fastening.
- After grinding, plaster casts of both the upper and lower dentition are made.
- Using the plaster version, a wax model of the crown is created, and then a gold prototype is cast.
Installation
The process of installing gold crusts takes several visits to the dentist’s office:
- At the first visit to the doctor’s office, the patient’s oral health is examined, caries is treated and, if necessary, old fillings are replaced. The dentist grinds the tooth on which the gold structure will be installed. In this case, dense dental tissues are ground down within 1 mm, when for metal-ceramic dentures this figure reaches 2 mm.
- After making impressions, the doctor makes a temporary overlay plastic prosthesis on site, which protects the tissues of the supporting tooth and performs an aesthetic function.
- At the second visit, the dentist tries on a wax model of the prosthesis for the patient, adjusting it and correcting any identified deficiencies.
- During the patient's third visit to the doctor, the final gold crown is tried on and fixed with temporary cement for up to three months. This is necessary in order to finally verify the correctness of manufacture and the comfort of the design.
- After 3 months, the crown is removed, cleaned of cement residues, and its effect on soft tissue is checked. If there are no contraindications, the gold prosthesis is fixed to permanent composite materials.
