Which dental restoration has the same durability as natural tooth with proper oral hygiene?

Consult with dentist: All of our current dental materials are excellent. They have the potential to last a long time assuming you have excellent home care and the dentist designed and placed the restoration using excellent techniques. It is best to talk to your dentist about which materials will be best for you and your particular needs.

Dental materials: Historically gold restorations are considered the finest and longest lasting restorations dentistry has had to offer. We now have many new materials that are tooth colored that are trying to meet the same standards that gold has set. The present material that most closely meets this is emax for full crown use. It's strength is similar to enamel and has similar wear characteristics as well.
