Dental Crowns in Calgary

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.

Some of the Indications For Requiring a Dental Crown are:

1. 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.
2. Extensive damage by decay or breakage.
3. Discolorations and compromised aesthetics.
4. Fractures
5. Calgary Root canal – 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.
6. Calgary Bridges – When missing teeth are replaced with a bridge, the adjacent teeth require crowns to support the replacement teeth. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your teeth.

So if you are interested in a long-term, cost-effective, esthetic, and durable restoration,
a dental crown may be the best treatment option for you!
