A dentist, Ch F Barnard, was listed in the 1871 census of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, taken by municipal officials in April, a short time before BC joined the Canadian confederation. This census list was later published in the Canadian Parliament's Sessional Papers.

I like this particular phrase in Dr, Barnard's quote "Gold Crown built on a decayed tooth or solid portion thereof that will LAST FOREVER".
It's because this is all true and cosmetic dentists do know that. - Vancouver cosmetic Dentist
The physical properties of GOLD enables dentists to achieve an exact fit. Another benefit of using a gold crown is that gold gives the crown the strength that is required to tolerate the pressure of biting and chewing. Furthermore, a gold crown is not prone to chipping as seen commonly from most porcelain crowns in the molar region.
