Fine Cast Gold Restoration (Tucker)
Gold is the oldest and longest lasting material dentistry has to offer. When used as cast gold inlays and onlays, you can offer your patients beautiful esthetics and a lifetime restoration. Gold offers more compressive and tensile strength than other filling materials. This allows thin bevels of metal to be placed over margins to protect fragile enamel walls. Margins do not chip or erode away. While most filling materials must be protected by the tooth dentin and enamel, cast gold actually protects the remaining tooth structure. The long-term durability of high gold content alloys makes them an excellent value for the patient.
