Restore The Look & Health of Your Teeth

If left long enough, tooth decay can have a serious effect on the look and health of your teeth. However, we can offer several restorative services to help maintain your affected tooth and prevent it from affecting your overall oral health and bite.

Dental crowns, or caps, fit right over the top of damaged, fractured, or infected teeth. With the help of a crown, you can restore your tooth’s appearance, shape, strength.

Why Should You Get a Crown?

Getting a dental crown depends on the quality of your teeth and the issues they’re facing. We generally recommend crowns for teeth that are fractured, damaged, or decayed.

Crowns are made of several different materials, including metal, resin, porcelain, or ceramic. The type of material we use depends on your oral health needs and the location of the tooth.

Getting a Crown & Frequently Asked Questions

Crowns are permanently fixed to your teeth, so we follow a very detailed process to ensure your crown is secure and appropriate for your needs.

When you come in for your first crown appointment, we’ll take a look at the tooth you wish to crown to determine its health, shape, and strength. We will take impressions of your tooth to ensure your crown fits comfortably.

Your impressions will then be sent to the lab where a custom-made crown will be created to fit you. We’ll ensure your crown is the right size, shape, and colour at a second appointment before permanently cementing it over your tooth.

What Are Inlays & Onlays?

Inlays and onlays are custom inserts we may recommend if your tooth isn’t damaged enough to warrant the use of a crown. While crowns cover your entire natural tooth, inlays and onlays only cover small sections.

Inlays restore areas in between the cusp of your teeth, while onlays restore one or more of these cusps.

How Long Does a Crown Last?

The average lifespan of a crown is about 10 years, but they can last longer with proper care and hygiene. However, you may affect how long your crown lasts if you struggle with teeth grinding, use your teeth as tools (like opening packages), or chew on things like fingernails or pencils.

How Do I Take Care of a Crown?

Taking care of your crown is very similar to taking care of your natural teeth. As long as you’re brushing twice a day, flossing, and keeping up with your regular dental check-ups, your crown can last for many years.
