Full-Cast Gold

 

Mabel Dental Lab’s Full-Cast gold restorations are the “gold” standard for long-term durability of posterior crowns. In fact in most situations these types of crowns can often last for 30 years! We offer a variety of quality and affordable options to meet all of you and your patient’s needs. Full-Cast crowns offer several advantages compared to other crowns. They seal extremely well to prevent leakage and recurrent tooth decay. They are highly resistant to corrosion, fracture and wear due to its strength. Only a minimal amount of healthy tooth removal is necessary due to the strength of the metals. Another benefit is that they are very resistant to wear while being gentle to adjacent teeth. Lastly they are highly compatible with gum tissue.
