A member asked:
Which is better for 4 units bridge on teeth # 11 to # 14: a high noble metal in a "yellow gold" color or "silvery gold". ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Trust! not internet : Yellow gold used to be the "gold standard" in dentistry, hands down. Gold is more bio-compatable with the the body, may be easier to produce a "natural" appearance, and is much more costly nowadays. Again, it's the skill of the dentist and the quality of the dental lab that are key. Ask your own dentist what he\she suggests and why. If you trust your dentist, follow the recommendation.

Either: Both are ada approved and considered acceptable. However, the high noble will generally last longer. I am assuming that since #11 is involved you will be having it covered in porcelain so from an appearance point of view, either would be fine and close to equal in quality and longevity. The semi-precious or "silvery-gold" should save you money though with the high price of gold.
