Will i be able to have a gold crown if i have a nickle allergy?

Yes, if...: Very few gold alloys have nickle. To be sure, have your dentist check with his lab, and obtain a sticker that details alloy content. Nickle-chromium alloys are the ones you must watch out for. Most silver-palladium and gold-palladium mixes are free of nickle.

Pure gold, yes: Most “gold” crowns placed today contain from 1% - 40% gold and have nickel. Let your dentist know about your allergy to nickel.
