Between aesthetics, trends, and oral health: what you need to know before joining the gold tooth trend.<\/p>\n\n
In recent years, the gold tooth has become fashionable once again. Influencers, artists, and celebrities have brought it back as a striking aesthetic symbol associated with luxury, identity, or simply a unique trend. <\/p>\n\n
But beyond the visual impact, it is worth asking a key question: is it a safe option for your oral health or just a passing fad?<\/strong> The answer, as is often the case in dentistry, is not a simple yes or no\u2026 but rather “it depends.”<\/p>\n\n The use of gold in dentistry is not new. In fact, for decades it has been used in dental crowns and restorations<\/strong> due to its strength, durability, and excellent biocompatibility. <\/p>\n\n Gold is a material that adapts very well to the mouth, does not corrode, and can last for many years<\/strong> without deteriorating. For this reason, it was a common choice for restorative treatments for a long time. <\/p>\n\n What has changed is the focus: we have moved from a functional and medical solution to a primarily aesthetic use, where the gold tooth becomes a fashion element.<\/p>\n\n This is where the “it depends” comes in.<\/p>\n\n A gold tooth can be completely safe if it is part of a dental treatment that is well-planned and performed by a professional.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n For example, a correctly placed gold crown:<\/p>\n\n The problem arises when we talk about improvised or purely aesthetic solutions<\/strong>, such as removable pieces or placements without clinical supervision. In these cases, complications can arise such as: <\/p>\n\n A dental treatment<\/strong> is not the same as an aesthetic trend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n When gold is used for a clinical purpose (for example, to restore a damaged tooth), we are talking about an effective and proven solution.<\/p>\n\n In contrast, when it is placed solely for aesthetics without a prior diagnosis, it can become an unnecessary risk.<\/p>\n\n In other words: any intervention in the mouth must be supervised by a dentist<\/strong>, regardless of whether the goal is functional or aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n If you are looking to improve your smile, there are more conservative and personalized options:<\/p>\n\n These alternatives allow for aesthetic improvement without compromising oral health.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Ultimately, a gold tooth can be a good option if it addresses a clinical need and is well-executed. However, as an unsupervised aesthetic trend, it can cause more problems than benefits. <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2142,"template":"","categoria":[33],"class_list":["post-2141","actualitat","type-actualitat","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-tendencies"],"acf":[],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat\/2141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/actualitat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/actualitat"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ccervera.knut-studio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=2141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Where does this trend come from?<\/h2>\n\n
