Do white gold dental crowns exist? Where can I get one?
Yes, white gold exists for dental crowns. They are every bit as good as yellow gold crowns. It’s just a slightly different alloy. Talk to your dentist, and he can make sure his lab has the alloy available. Gold crowns (white or yellow) interact very well with natural teeth because the alloy is smooth and of similar hardness to natural teeth. I always prefer gold crowns for the very back teeth where there is little room for the thickness of porcelain. Personally, I think the white gold will just look like a big silver filling, and look cheap. People associate yellow gold in the mouth with expensive treatment. So your friends might not realise that you’ve got white gold.
