Over twenty-five years ago, Coy Habich started a lab with a focus on the highest quality gold restorations. Cast Gold Restorations, Inc. reputation was built on the gold standard. We apply that same discipline to everything we do, striving to provide lifetime restorations for our valued clients and their patients.
There are many benefits to cast gold restorations.
Gold is natural.I believe it can be argued that a gold crown restoration on a posterior implant is the most reliable and compatible restoration for this area. Producing a nice casting this large can prove to be difficult. We have developed a technique to lighten the pattern that produces a dense, accurate casting.
Lightening the pattern produces a more accurate casting. Where there is less mass affected by the shrinkage of gold that happens as the gold solidifies in the invested pattern, there is less error. Pure gold shrinks by 1.64 percent. When you are working with a pattern of this size, you really notice the improved fit of the casting.
The difficulty in hollowing these patterns, especially for a stock abutment, is due to the narrowness of the neck. It does not provide very good access to hollow the pattern. This technique allows increased access to lighten the pattern.
If you have a patient moving out of town, we would like to help you with a referral. Over the past 25 years we have had the opportunity to work with the highest quality dentists, technicians, and educators across the country. We believe we can provide an excellent referral.
