Detailed Overview Of The Comprehensive Consultation Process

The consultation process for permanent gold and metal teeth involves careful assessment, planning, and guidance. This approach tailors the treatment to each individual’s specific oral health needs and aesthetic goals.

Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment

The dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your oral health, including teeth, gums, and jawbone. They will check for underlying issues like decay or bone loss that could impact the placement of permanent gold and metal teeth. This step will help determine your suitability for the procedure.

Discuss Aesthetic Goals and Preferences

Next, you’ll talk about your smile goals and aesthetic preferences with the dentist. This discussion allows you to share your vision, whether it’s a subtle enhancement or a bold statement. The dentist will consider your desired look when recommending a suitable approach for your custom teeth.

Receive Personalised Treatment Recommendations

After assessing your oral health and understanding your goals, the dentist will provide customised treatment recommendations. These options will be tailored to your needs, detailing the appropriate materials and techniques for your teeth. They will explain how each option can meet your expectations for appearance, comfort, and longevity.

Digital Scanning and Imaging Process

The dentist will use advanced digital scanning technology to capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and mouth. This precise imaging allows for the design of custom gold or metal teeth that fit right. Accurate scans also improve the overall treatment experience, helping to avoid potential fitting issues later.

Review Complete Treatment Plan

You’ll receive a detailed treatment plan that covers every aspect of the process, from preparation to final placement. The dentist will explain the timeline, procedures, and aftercare involved. This step is important so you understand what to expect and how to care for your new teeth for long-term success.

“I have already been to Azure twice in the 2 weeks it has been open and I've been super impressed. My first appointment was a general check up and clean with Maheer which was super easy, he was gentle and caused me no discomfort, I got to just lay back and enjoy Netflix on the roof mounted TV (nice touch). We got chatting at the end about some staining on my teeth and decided to book in a whitening session which I went back for today. Another good experience with Maheer, he was very attentive and the knowledge he shared with his dental assistant was fantastic. Great team with a really positive atmosphere. Highly recommend!” Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn what you need to know about permanent gold and metal teeth through our FAQ section.

Permanent gold teeth are custom-made dental crowns or caps crafted from gold alloy. They are designed to cover existing teeth, offering enhanced durability and a unique appearance. The installation process involves a series of steps to achieve a proper fit and a durable finish:

  1. Tooth Preparation:
    The dentist reshapes the existing tooth to create space for the gold crown. This usually involves removing some enamel so that the crown will fit snugly and align properly with the surrounding teeth.
  2. Impressions and Measurements:
    After preparing the tooth, the dentist takes detailed impressions or digital scans of the prepared tooth and adjacent teeth. These impressions are used to create a model that allows the gold crown to fit precisely over the reshaped tooth.
  3. Fabrication of the Gold Crown:
    The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where the custom gold crown is crafted to match the patient’s dental structure. This process can take about two to four weeks.
  4. Temporary Crown Placement:
    While waiting for the gold crown to be made, a temporary crown is placed over the prepared tooth. It protects the tooth from sensitivity and damage during the interim period.
  5. Fitting and Adjustments:
    Once the gold crown is ready, the patient returns to the dentist for fitting. The dentist verifies that the crown fits well, making the necessary adjustments and checking for proper alignment and comfort.
  6. Bonding:
    When the fit is satisfactory, the dentist bonds the gold crown to the prepared tooth using strong dental cement. This creates a secure seal between the crown and the tooth, providing stability and durability.
  7. Final Polishing:
    After the gold crown is bonded, the dentist polishes it to smoothen the surface. This step improves the crown’s appearance and makes it more comfortable in the mouth.

Permanent gold teeth are a popular choice for those seeking a unique, durable dental option. Here’s why they are considered safe for daily wear:

  • Biocompatibility of Gold:
    Gold is highly biocompatible, meaning it does not react adversely with the body. Unlike some other metals, gold is rarely associated with allergic reactions or irritations in the mouth. This makes it a suitable material for long-term use in the mouth, where it interacts with soft tissues and saliva daily.
  • Durability and Strength:
    Gold alloys are known for their strength and resistance to wear. They can withstand the forces of chewing and grinding without cracking or chipping, which is especially important for molars that experience high pressure. This durability helps the gold teeth remain intact and functional, even after years of daily use.
  • Gentle on Opposing Teeth:
    Despite being a strong material, gold is relatively soft compared to other dental materials like porcelain or zirconia. This means gold is less likely to cause excessive wear on opposing teeth, making it a gentler option for long-term use.
  • Resistance to Corrosion:
    Gold is highly resistant to corrosion, even when exposed to saliva, acids, and changes in pH within the mouth. Unlike some metals that may corrode or degrade over time, gold remains stable. This resistance helps maintain the integrity of the gold teeth and reduces the risk of any metal ions being released into the body.

For permanent teeth, two primary materials are usually used: gold and metal. Here’s an overview of each:

  • Gold:
    Gold is a popular choice for permanent teeth due to its exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. It is biocompatible, meaning it is safe for long-term use in the mouth with a low risk of allergic reactions. Gold is also gentle on opposing teeth, reducing wear during chewing.
  • Metal:
    Metal is also used for permanent teeth. Known for its strength and resistance to wear, it is ideal for withstanding the forces of daily use. Stainless steel, for example, is a popular choice due to its durability and affordability.

Permanent gold teeth are known for their durability and can last for 15 to 30 years, depending on several factors:

  • Oral Hygiene:
    Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is essential for the longevity of gold teeth. Proper care prevents plaque buildup and decay around the gold crown, which can otherwise compromise its lifespan.
  • Bite Pressure and Chewing Habits:
    The pressure exerted on the gold teeth during chewing plays a significant role in their durability. Teeth grinding (bruxism) or chewing hard objects, for instance, can wear down the gold over time, potentially shortening its lifespan.
  • Diet:
    Sugary or acidic foods like candies and oranges can contribute to the wear and tear of gold crowns. They create an environment that promotes decay around the restoration. A balanced diet with limited sugar intake supports the long-term health of both natural and gold teeth.
  • Regular Dental Check-Ups:
    Routine dental visits allow the dentist to monitor the condition of the gold teeth and address any issues early on. Early intervention can prevent minor problems from developing into major concerns that might reduce the lifespan of the gold restoration.

Yes, you can often choose the karat level for your permanent gold teeth. Common options include 10-karat and 14-karat gold. Here’s what to consider when making your choice:

  • 10-karat Gold:
    10-karat gold contains a lower percentage of pure gold (about 41.7%) and a higher proportion of metals like copper or silver. This makes it harder and more durable, which can be beneficial for withstanding the forces of chewing. However, it may have a slightly less vibrant gold colour due to the lower gold content.
  • 14-karat Gold:
    14-karat gold contains more pure gold (about 58.3%) and has a richer, more classic gold appearance. It is still durable but slightly softer than 10-karat gold due to the higher gold content. It balances durability with aesthetic appeal, making it popular for those seeking a brighter, more classic gold appearance.

The cost of getting permanent gold teeth varies based on several factors:

  • Type of Material:
    The choice of material significantly impacts the price. Chromes start at $2,000 per tooth, 10-karat gold teeth start at $2,200 per tooth, and 14-karat gold teeth start at $2,500 per tooth.
  • Number of Teeth:
    Each additional tooth adds to both the material and labour costs. Hence, the more teeth you want to cover with gold, the higher the total cost.
  • Complexity of the Procedure:
    The complexity of the installation process, such as whether dental implants are needed for missing teeth, can increase the overall price. Implants require more time and advanced skills, adding to the final cost.
  • Dental Clinic Location:
    The location of the dental clinic can influence pricing. Clinics in larger cities or affluent areas may charge more for services. Higher operating costs, such as rent and staff wages, contribute to this.
  • Dentist’s Experience:
    A dentist with more experience and advanced skills may charge higher fees. This reflects their proficiency in providing high-quality, durable restorations.

Permanent gold teeth usually do not negatively impact oral hygiene due to their smooth, non-porous surfaces. This characteristic helps minimise plaque buildup compared to other dental materials, making them easier to clean.

However, maintaining proper oral hygiene practices remains important for overall dental health. Regular brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash can help prevent gum issues. Additionally, routine dental check-ups are essential for monitoring the condition of the gold teeth and surrounding tissues. Staying proactive with oral care supports long-term success with permanent gold teeth.

Gold or metal teeth can affect speech, particularly during the initial adjustment period. These changes are usually temporary and depend on a few specific factors:

  • Changes in Tooth Shape and Size:
    Gold or metal crowns or caps might have a different size or shape compared to your natural teeth. These variations, even small, can impact the way your tongue moves against your teeth, affecting how you form certain sounds.
  • Placement of the Restoration:
    If gold or metal teeth are placed in the front of the mouth, they are more likely to affect speech. Front teeth play a key role in pronunciation, so changes in their shape or position can alter how you pronounce words.
  • Material Thickness:
    The thickness of the gold or metal can alter how your teeth feel, which may cause your tongue to adjust its movement. This can result in a temporary lisp or slight changes in articulation until you adapt.
  • Discomfort or Pressure:
    Initially, you may feel some pressure or discomfort as your mouth adjusts to the new material. This can influence how you speak, as you might unconsciously adjust your tongue or mouth movements to accommodate the new sensation.
  • Fit and Alignment Issues:
    Poorly fitting crowns or caps can create gaps or uneven surfaces that disrupt airflow in the mouth. This can cause whistling sounds or difficulty pronouncing certain letters, impacting speech clarity.

Maintaining permanent gold or metal teeth is essential to their longevity and your overall oral health. While gold and metal teeth are durable, they still require regular care. Here are some important tips:

  • Brush Twice a Day:
    Brushing is important to keep your gold or metal teeth and natural teeth clean. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent scratches on gold or metal surfaces and to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Floss Daily:
    Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles that can accumulate between your gold or metal teeth and the surrounding natural teeth. This prevents decay around the edges of the crowns and reduces the risk of gum disease.
  • Use an Antibacterial Mouthwash:
    Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash can help reduce bacteria in hard-to-reach areas and maintain the health of your gums. It is especially beneficial for preventing plaque buildup around gold or metal teeth.
  • Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods:
    Gold and metal teeth are known for their strength. However, biting down on hard objects like ice or nuts can cause damage or stress on the underlying teeth or implants. Sticky foods like caramel can also get trapped around the edges, increasing the risk of decay.
  • Visit the Dentist Regularly:
    Regular dental check-ups are essential for monitoring the condition of your gold or metal teeth. Your dentist can professionally clean around the teeth and address any issues before they become serious.
  • Avoid Abrasive Toothpaste:
    Use a toothpaste that is gentle and non-abrasive to prevent scratches on the gold or metal surfaces. Abrasive toothpaste can dull the shine and compromise the smooth finish of gold or metal teeth.

While permanent gold teeth are generally considered safe and durable, there are some risks associated with their use:

  • Gum Irritation:
    Improperly fitted gold crowns or caps can create gaps between the crown and gum, leading to irritation and inflammation. This can be exacerbated by poor oral hygiene, which may cause redness, swelling, tenderness, or bleeding around the gold tooth.
  • Allergic Reactions:
    Although rare, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the metals mixed with gold in the alloy. Symptoms can include swelling, itching, or a rash in the mouth, leading to general discomfort around the gold tooth.
  • Decay in Adjacent Teeth:
    If plaque accumulates around the edges of the gold teeth, decay can develop in nearby natural teeth. This may result in tooth sensitivity, pain, or visible discolouration, as well as bad breath from decaying areas.
  • Bite Alignment Issues:
    Gold teeth that are not aligned properly with the rest of the teeth can alter the bite. This may lead to uneven pressure distribution, causing jaw pain and discomfort while chewing, or it may wear on other teeth over time.
