DENTAL CROWNS NEAR YOU

 

WHAT IS A DENTAL CROWN?

Dental Crowns can be made from various materials, which include porcelain, Zirconia based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and full cast metal. Based on numerous factors including aesthetics, position within the mouth, habits such as grinding, and your personal preference, a full assessment will be needed to determine which material is appropriate for you.​

 

TYPES OF DENTAL CROWNS

Dental Crowns can be made from various materials, which include porcelain, Zirconia based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and full cast metal. Based on numerous factors including aesthetics, position within the mouth, habits such as grinding, and your personal preference, a full assessment will be needed to determine which material is appropriate for you.

 

WHY YOU MIGHT REQUIRE DENTAL CROWNS?

Some of the indications for requiring a Dental Crown are:

  • A previously filled tooth where there now exists more filling than tooth. The existing tooth structure becomes weakened and can no longer support the filling.

  • Extensive damage by decay or breakage.

  • Discolorations and compromised aesthetics.

  • Fractures

  • After Root Canal Therapy, teeth tend to become brittle and are more susceptible to fracture.  These teeth need to be protected and strengthened by a crown.

  • When missing teeth are replaced with a dental bridge,  the adjacent teeth require crowns in order to support the replacement teeth. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your teeth.

 

WHY YOU MIGHT REQUIRE DENTAL CROWNS?

Your appointment for dental crowns involves shaping the tooth to fit your new crown. We obtain a detailed impression that is sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom crown is created by a professional lab technician.  We know that your smile is important to you and restoring the function of your teeth with our SW Edmonton Dental Crowns is one of the many dental health services that we offer at Chappelle Family Dental.
