Chestermere Dental Crowns

If you are looking for an effective long-term, cost-effective and durable way to restore the function and overall aesthetics of damaged or discoloured teeth, dental crowns might be the right solution for you. Chestermere Dental is pleased to offer this restorative dental option so you can achieve the beautiful and fully functioning smile you deserve.

Dental crowns, also referred to as “caps,” are dental restorations that cover the entire surface of damaged teeth to improve the overall health and appearance of teeth. Dental crowns may be the ideal treatment option when previous fillings have broken, fractured or chipped surfaces are noted, or tooth sensitivity is involved. Crowns are also used to improve the appearance of natural teeth that are malformed, malpositioned or discoloured.

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

• When there is a previously filled tooth where now there exists more filling than tooth. The existing tooth structure becomes weakened and can no longer support the filling.
• When there exists extensive damage by decay or breakage
• When there is discoloration and compromised esthetics
• When there are fractures present
• When Root canal therapy has been performed – After root canal therapy, teeth tend to become brittle and are more apt to fracture. These teeth need to be protected and strengthened by a crown.
