Gold & Diamond - What You Need To Know

Gold Veneers

Gold Veneers simply put, is made of gold. They are ultra-thin layers of gold custom-crafted to fit over the front surface of a tooth. While less common than porcelain, they’re a bold, high-fashion choice often requested by patients wanting a unique or luxury smile statement. Gold is biocompatible and incredibly durable, making it resistant to chipping or wear over time. Gold Veneers are typically requested on the front teeth, canines, or premolars as they are extremely sturdy and strong. Gold Crowns Gold crowns are full-coverage restorations made from gold and are one of the strongest and longest-lasting materials in dentistry. While not always visible (often placed on molars or back teeth), some patients opt for visible gold crowns as a fashion or personal style statement. Gold adapts well to natural tooth structure, causes minimal wear to opposing teeth, and is ideal for patients seeking long-term durability. Diamond Veneers Diamond veneers are a luxurious take on traditional porcelain veneers, incorporating diamonds embedded within the surface of the veneer (in gold or white gold) for a dazzling smile.

Things to Consider

• These materials are often considered cosmetic or elective, and may not be covered by dental insurance.

• Gold and diamond-enhanced dental work typically involves custom design and fabrication, which can take more time and cost more than traditional porcelain or ceramic options. Taking into consideration of the weight of the gold and the carat of the diamonds will also factor into the cost.

• A full consultation is essential to assess your suitability and ensure the results align with your aesthetic and functional goals.
