What Is a Dental Crown?

Dental crowns restore broken or decayed teeth. They help protect the remaining natural tooth structure from further damage and restore function.

Crowns are commonly made from a number of materials, including gold, full porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Today, porcelain dental crowns are the most popular crowns used by dentists because of their durability and natural aesthetics.

Why Do I Need a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a strong and durable restoration. You may need a crown if you’ve had a:

Large filling
Root canal
Broken or severely worn down tooth
Stained, unaesthetic, or misshapen tooth

How Long Will a Dental Crown Last?

On average, dental crowns last 15 to 20 years with proper care. They’re strong and durable but may not be as strong as your natural teeth. To increase your crown’s lifespan, we recommend:

Wearing a nightguard if you clench or grind your teeth at night
Avoid biting down on hard objects (ice, forks, bottle caps, etc.)
Avoid using your teeth as a tool to open or cut things

Dental Bridges in Calgary, AB

Replacing missing teeth with a dental restoration that looks and feels natural is a priority for us.

If you’re looking to replace missing teeth, then a dental bridge may be for you. It provides a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth and is used to literally “bridge” the gap from a lost tooth or multiple teeth.

Dental bridges work by crowning the adjacent teeth on each side of the lost tooth, and the replacement tooth is fused in between. We may use a white dental filling to build up the anchor teeth if they have old fillings or tooth decay.

Like a dental crown, a dental bridge can be made from gold, porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. After a consultation with our dentist, we’ll determine the best type of dental bridge for your needs. Then, we customize each tooth restoration to look and feel natural, with color-matching for a beautiful, seamless appearance.
