Individually hand crafted thin shell gold coverage and conventional Crown and Bridge for Natural Teeth

Our crown and bridge department is known for its quality work and able to meet most any patient’s request for design. We provide the following restorative crown services:


  • For conventional crown and bridge preparation, we ask that impressions be checked thoroughly by the doctor prior to sending to ensure marginal integrity. When occlusion is questionable, full arch models or a wax bite will be most helpful. For any cutout, open face or gold appliqué to be inserted in an open face, please provide proper reduction of prepared tooth.

  Permanent gold shell crowns are for those
 teeth with major reduction which if removed
would cause trauma to the tooth.
 

 

  • For a more cost effective gold coverage, you may want to consider moving away from the high cost of gold used to replace the reduction made to the tooth for conventional crown and bridge reductions and allowing us to make a thin coverage gold shell for you. Just provide either an impression or a model for opposing occlusion. You may remove mesial, distal, incisal and lingual to give clearance for gold coverage of ¼ mm or just send the model with opposing and we’ll parallel the die as needed and mark for your guidance.

  Cosmetic gold shell crowns are those which
 are attached to a natural tooth that has been
slightly reduced to give clearance for the shell
crown. These crowns may be removed without
 major trauma to the tooth.
