Full Cast Crowns & Bridges
Full cast restorations are crowns and bridges made entirely from metal and digitally designed for consistent fit and margin integrity. They remain one of the most reliable restorative options in dentistry, especially when durability, clearance challenges, or long‑term wear resistance are priorities. With a polished metal finish, full cast restorations are gentle onopposing dentition and built for longevity.
Alloy options include:
- Non precious
- Noble (white or yellow)
- High noble yellow
When It Makes Sense
High-Load Performance
Built for posterior and other demanding functional areas.
Bruxer-Ready Strength
A proven option for heavy wear and grinding cases.
Low-Clearance Strength
Performs well when restorative space is limited.
Conservative Preparation
Allows for thinner restorations while maintaining strength.
Cost-Conscious Durability
Balances long-term performance with practical cost.
Long-Span Stability
Provides predictable strength for longer bridge cases.
Why Derby
Digitally designed and milled
Every full cast restoration is CAD designed and milled from a solid alloy blank rather than cast.
Consistent margins and contacts
Digital workflows reduce distortion and help ensure predictable seating.
High polish finishing
Functional surfaces are polished to support hygiene and reduce opposing wear.
Ideal for low clearance
Metal maintains strength even at thin dimensions.
Smooth communication
If prep reduction or contacts need clarification, we reach out early to keep cases on track.

FAQ
Why choose full cast over zirconia or PFM?
Full cast restorations are ideal when strength, clearance, and long term durability matter most.
Are full cast crowns gentle on opposing enamel?
Yes. A polished metal surface is typically favorable for opposing teeth.
Are these milled or traditionally cast?
All Derby full cast restorations are digitally designed and milled.
How much reduction is needed?
Full cast crowns require less reduction than most ceramic restorations because metal maintains strength at thin dimensions.
Do alloy types affect outcome or longevity?
All alloys perform well clinically. Selection typically depends on preference, budget, and biocompatibility.
What’s the difference between Y3, Y4, and Y5?
