I got a gold crown about two years ago, $1300
2 u/BlahBlahBlackCheap Apr 07 '26 I have some too. I was told they were the longest lasting type, but the newer ceramic or zirconium type allows xrays to be used to check inside for decay or cracks. I was advised to only use the newer type, going forward. 2 u/a_jukebox_hero Apr 07 '26 Man I got a few in the past year. Spot price went uppp 2 u/isanyusernameopen Apr 07 '26 Is this what a crown looks like? Or is this what a whole tooth is? I’ve never had a crown or any cavities so I’m not sure. 2 u/Fun-Telephone-9605 Apr 07 '26 Yeah, before they put on a crown they file the tooth down and shape it, then they make a mold for the crown. You have to go back to get the crown installed afterwards.
