Even though gold fillings or crowns are more expensive than silver fillings, this precious metal can last for many years, offering you exceptional value in the long-run. As well, since gold fillings last longer, this means that you are preserving tooth structure given that typically more of the tooth needs to be cut away every time a filling is replaced. Often, a â??crownâ? is referred to as a â??cap.â? This means simply that it covers the whole tooth as opposed to only the filling portion of the tooth.
