A crown is recommended when a tooth has a large cavity, extensive decay, a large existing filling, or has undergone a root canal. It fully caps the tooth to restore its strength, shape, and function—offering protection that a simple filling often can’t provide.

A filling that is too large, especially mercury fillings that expand and contract with temperature changes, can cause the tooth to flex under a heavy bite. Over time, this often leads to fractures, darkened areas of the tooth, and in many cases, the loss of an entire section that may require extraction and replacement with a dental implant.

Crowns cover the entire visible surface of a tooth to restore strength, shape, and function.

Veneers are thin shells bonded to only the front of the tooth, ideal for improving appearance but not for restoring structural integrity. Crowns are chosen for durability and full coverage, whereas veneers are selected for cosmetic enhancement.

At your first crown visit, your dentist will carefully shape the tooth to make room for the crown and ensure a proper fit. We’ll then take precise 3D scans of your tooth instead of traditional molds, which are sent to the lab to create your custom crown. Before you leave, we’ll place a comfortable temporary crown to protect your tooth until your permanent crown is ready.

LEAVING TRADITIONAL “GOOPY” DENTAL IMPRESSIONS BEHIND

Traditional Dental Impressions use materials loaded in a tray to create a mould of your tooth that is sent to the lab for fabrication. Shipping and heat can lead to distortion of this impression and patients with a gag reflex or the sensation of a fully set impression being pulled out of their mouth have enjoy the benefits of our 3D Dental Scanner!

Absolutely. We offer nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) as well as oral or IV sedation options to help you stay calm and comfortable throughout crown procedures. Our team will recommend the best approach based on your needs and medical history.

Out-of-network means your dentist doesn’t have a set payment deal with your insurance company. You can still go to them, but your insurance might cover less of the cost, so you’ll pay more than you would with an in-network dentist. Sometimes, depending on your plan, your insurance may not pay anything — in that case, you would pay the full amount yourself.

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.

Crowns are used to protect a cracked tooth, restore a tooth after a root canal, cover a large filling, or improve the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth.

Getting a crown usually takes two visits. During the first visit, we prepare your tooth and take impressions. At the second visit, the permanent crown is placed.

To prepare a tooth for a crown, we remove any existing fillings, decay, and weakened areas to ensure a solid foundation. On average, about 2 mm of thickness is needed around the tooth to allow the crown to fit properly and stay strong. Our goal is always to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible while creating enough space for a durable, long-lasting crown.

Crowns can be made of porcelain, ceramic, metal, or a combination of materials. Porcelain or ceramic crowns are popular for their natural appearance.

Modern dentistry means we can now fabricate metal-free Dental Crowns that don’t show while you have a conversation with a friend or have a grey margin at the gum line on a front dental crown, giving the appearance of a dead or dying tooth. This is because we use the latest material which can be pressed thinner and are made from ever-increasing strength in our material selection for your custom-made Dental Crowns.

Yes, especially porcelain and ceramic crowns. We do our best to match the crown’s color, shape, and size to your natural teeth for a seamless look.

After a root canal, a crown is usually recommended to protect the weakened tooth structure, particularly if a large portion of the tooth is missing. It helps prevent fractures and restores function—especially when more than one-third of the tooth's surface has been removed.

A desensitizer is a special medication we apply to your tooth to help reduce sensitivity, especially after a filling, crown, or deep cleaning. It works by sealing the tiny tubules in your enamel that can cause discomfort. It's quick, painless, and can make a big difference if you have sensitive teeth. Both Indirect Pulp Capping (IPC) and Desensitizer treatments are used to help protect the tooth and potentially prevent the need for a root canal.

IPC, or Indirect Pulp Capping, is a procedure we do to help protect a tooth with a deep cavity. Instead of removing all the affected dentin, we place a special medication to help the tooth heal and avoid needing a root canal. If's a way to keep the tooth strong and healthy while preventing further decay. Both Indirect Pulp Capping (IPC) and Desensitizer treatments are used to help protect the tooth and potentially prevent the need for a root canal.

The earlier a split tooth is diagnosed and treated, the better success there is in treating it. If the split is severe, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth. Teeth that initially present with cold sensitivity are less likely to be fixed with the crown alone. If this does not work, the treatment plan will be modified and a root canal will be needed. If left untreated, the tooth may eventually be lost. It is also possible that the initial split of the tooth may be such that it cannot be saved, despite our best efforts.

Bite equilibration is a dental procedure that adjusts how your teeth come together to ensure a balanced, even bite. Please see this youtube video for more info on bite equilibration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xL23JsLpyA&pp=ygUWT2NjbHVzYWwgRXF1aWxpYnJhdGlvbg%3D%3D.
