If you have a broken, cracked, or weakened tooth, a crown is a great way to restore the function and/or appearance of the tooth.

What Is a Dental Crown?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a tooth to improve its shape. It helps stop further damage to the tooth and improves your smile. Crowns are commonly used to restore worn-down, damaged, or cracked teeth.
When Does Our Dentist Recommend Dental Crowns?
If you have the following conditions, our dentist may recommend dental crowns near you.
A tooth with a large cavity that's too big for a filling.
A cracked or broken tooth that needs protection.
A tooth that has just had a root canal treatment.
A tooth that's worn down from grinding.
A dental implant that needs a visible tooth on top.
You wish to improve the way a tooth looks.
What Types of Dental Crowns Are Available?
Dental Choice dentists are trained to place all-white crowns made from ceramic, metal crowns (including gold), and porcelain-fused-to-metal combo crowns with precision. Gold and metal crowns are durable and ideal for providing support. All-ceramic/porcelain dental crowns are natural-looking, and thus a more cosmetically appealing option while still maintaining similar strength to metal. Our dentist near you will review which one would work best for your needs.
Advantages of Getting Dental Crowns
Dental crowns offer many benefits for your oral health. With proper care, they can last for 10 to 15 years and make weak teeth strong. Crowns shield and protect your teeth from further harm and allow you to eat delicious foods pain-free. Your dental crown looks just like natural teeth, which helps them blend into your smile. They also assist in keeping your other teeth properly aligned.
The Dental Crown Process
Getting a dental crown in Beltline, Calgary, usually takes two visits. At your first appointment, the dentist numbs the area and shapes the tooth to accommodate the crown. You get an impression of a crown when you visit the dentist. On your second visit, we take off the temporary crown and put on your permanent crown. Our dentist examines your jaw alignment (bite) to ensure comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a dental crown hurt?
The procedure does not hurt, as the dentist is going to use local anesthesia to numb your tooth as well as your gums. You might feel some pressure, but no pain. Once the numbness goes away, you might feel a little sensitivity for a couple of days.
How long do dental crowns last?
If you take good care of your teeth and get regular dental check-ups, crowns last about 10 to 15 years. When taken care of properly, and depending on their material, they can last even longer.
Can I eat normally with a dental crown?
Sure! You can eat normally once your permanent crown is in place and the cement has set fully. Refrain from eating very hard or sticky foods that could harm the crown, especially in the first 24 hours.
How do I take care of my dental crown?
Care for your crown just like your natural teeth. The mouth should be cleaned twice a day. In addition, floss once a day and visit the dentist in Beltline, Calgary, regularly for teeth cleaning and checkups. This keeps your crown and the tooth underneath healthy.
Will my dental crown look natural?
Yes, especially if you choose ceramic or porcelain crowns. Our dentist matches the colour of your crown to your other teeth so it blends in. Most people won’t be able to tell which tooth has a crown.
