All gold crowns on the maxillary second molars (upper last tooth) are my preference but a gold ceramic crown with a gold occlusal (biting surface) is also a great option. Eight times more bite force on these teeth compared to front teeth so all ceramic not ideal (no Zirconia also).

Gold and gold ceramic crowns on the back teeth are still the ultimate. My patients can get 20-30 years life span on this type of hand made crown. Zirconia and lithium desilicate won’t last that long. Plus they require more tooth reduction. Tooth structure is precious.

Two patients of mine. One involved the entire lower teeth & one was a single upper front tooth. Which one was more of a challenge? It was the single tooth ceramic replacement. To match it exactly with the adjacent natural teeth is very difficult but after a few try ins & shade/characterization changes we did it. Now we can replace the nearby non-matching ceramic when my patient is ready! The lower case was to restore the worn lower front teeth from a lifetime of bruxism (grinding & clenching). We have to obtain space so I bonded composite (acrylic) to the tops of the back teeth then I could add composite to the fronts. This was done in one long appointment. We will wait months & adjust the bite as needed before replacing the composites with ceramic.

I don’t always show the extreme cases but here is one we just completed. There is no caries (cavities). Asymptomatic. The enamel over time has been breaking off. My diagnosis is enamel hypoplasia. The treatment was full coverage bonded ceramics.
