Gold Crowns vs. PFM
Last Updated: Oct 17, 2006
Keith from California asks:
I have the impression that, in absence of aesthetic considerations, gold crowns are superior to PFMs on natural teeth and on dental implants. Is this accurate?
Also, can gold crowns be used on free-standing, single-tooth and
mini dental implants? Are there any contra-indications to using gold crowns for this purpose?
