A dental crown is a specially designed covering that protects the entire surface of your tooth. A crown will strengthen and reinforce your tooth’s structure, protecting it in ways a regular filling or other types of restorations cannot.
While there are many different types of crowns, including gold, tooth-coloured porcelain crowns are the most commonly used in dental practices today. Crowns are highly durable and can last many years, depending mostly on the amount of usage and they are exposed to and how well they are cleaned at home. Porcelain crowns are designed to closely match the size, colour and shape of your other teeth, leaving you with a more natural look and smile.
There are many factors we consider when recommending a crown, including:
- Teeth that may be fractured or broken
- Cosmetic appearance
- Teeth that are badly decayed
- Large fillings that can no longer support the original tooth
- A tooth that has undergone a root canal
If you are experiencing tooth decay or damage, contact us to create a treatment plan for you.
Dental Crowns: What’s Involved?
Typically, getting a dental crown will require two appointments. Your initial visit will involve removing any decay, as well as preparing and shaping your tooth so that it can accept a crown. An impression will need to be taken of your upper and lower teeth, which are sent to a dental laboratory. A dental crown is then fabricated at the lab and then returned to our office. After the process is complete, you are ready for your second appointment, which is usually shorter. During your second appointment, we remove the temporary crown and replace it with a new crown, which is securely cemented into place.
We are a CEREC office which means your crown can be completed in one appointment. We have digital technology that allows us to prepare, image, and fabricate your crown in the office while you enjoy a coffee and watch Netflix. This process takes an extra 30 minutes but saves you the second appointment and a second injection for anesthetic. For more information take a look at our CEREC services in Kelowna.
