Case Description
I need a crown that won't cost so much as I am not insured and am paying out of pocket. Would a gold crown be the way to go?

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

All restorations in our office are the same fee. The pros and cons with gold vs. porcelain is that with porcelain, the restoration will be much more natural-looking. Porcelain also bonds to the tooth better than gold. Gold is stronger than porcelain. Many patients choose porcelain over gold because they simply do not want metal in their mouth.

A gold crown would work however it is almost the same cost as a porcelain crown.
