Dental Crowns in Calgary

Dental Crowns

The dental crown is a versatile piece of dentistry that protects teeth while restoring chewing, speaking, and biting with comfort. While dental crowns used to be made from metal or even gold, nowadays, most crowns are made from composite resin to match the natural colour of your teeth. 

When Is a Dental Crown Necessary?

Dental crowns help strengthen and protect natural teeth after a restorative treatment or injury. They are often used to protect a weak tooth, restore a broken tooth, cover a dental implant, or improve the appearance of a discoloured or misshapen tooth. Your dentist will recommend a dental crown and answer any questions you may have.

The Dental Crown Process

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that fit over a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of these. The process usually involves preparing the tooth, taking an impression or digital scan, and fitting a temporary crown while the permanent one is crafted.
