When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are versatile and can address a variety of dental issues. Common circumstances in which dental crowns can be necessary for oral health and function include:

To repair a broken or decayed tooth: If your tooth decay or fracture is too extensive for a dental filling, our dentist will likely recommend a dental crown.
To complete root canal therapy: A treated tooth becomes weak and vulnerable after root canal therapy. We use dental crowns to cover your natural tooth, restore the chewing surface and appearance, and protect your tooth from further damage.
Cracked or broken restoration: We provide dental crowns when your dental restoration gets lost or damaged.
As part of a dental implant or bridge: When you replace a missing tooth with dental implants, the crown serves as an artificial tooth to fill the gap resulting from tooth loss. Dental bridges also use crowns and consist of artificial teeth suspended between two crowns that attach to abutment teeth.
Aesthetics: Dental crowns cover your teeth like a cap to transform the color, shape, and size of your tooth, which can enhance the appearance of your smile.

You can also get crowns to correct mild dental misalignment and close unwanted gaps. Our dentist will evaluate your situation and determine whether dental crowns are the right solution for you.

The Process of Getting a Dental Crown

dental crowns in Calgary, AB When you visit our practice for your Calgary dental crown, you can expect a straightforward process that begins with a comprehensive dental evaluation. The evaluation is necessary to determine your suitability for the restorations and plan your treatment. If you are eligible for a crown, our team will explain the procedure and your various options. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is happy to listen to you address them so you can be confident about your treatment.

Our dentist will prepare your tooth by reshaping the enamel to achieve the optimal fit. In case of decay or a broken tooth, you will undergo additional treatment, including filling or root canal therapy, before getting your dental crowns. We then use an iTero® scanner to take accurate digital impressions of your teeth which we use to create your custom crowns. You will also receive a temporary crown as you wait for your permanent custom crowns to arrive.

In most cases, it only takes a week for your final crowns to be ready. We'll invite you back to our office, where you can try on your custom crowns to ensure they fit your smile. Our team will make any necessary crown adjustments before installing them to restore your bite function and enhance your smile. Depending on your condition and tolerance, the entire process can take 2-3 dentist visits.

Taking Care of Your Dental Crown

While crowns are designed to be durable and effective, they are not permanent and can suffer damage or wear down over time. Here are a few tips for taking care of your dental crowns to help you maintain oral health and enjoy optimal functionality for longer.

Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene: Floss and brush your teeth at least twice daily to eliminate food particles and prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Go for Dental Checkups: Visiting the dentist twice a year maintains your oral health and helps identify any issues before they worsen. It is also ideal for monitoring the state of your dental crowns.
Avoid Bad Habits: Chewing on hard objects like pens or using your teeth to open bottles and packages puts pressure on the crowns, which can cause them to break or pop out. It would be best if you also avoid biting hard and sticky foods such as nuts and candy.
Use a Nightguard: Grinding and clenching your teeth wears out your crowns and can fracture them. If you grind or clench while sleeping, a nightguard cushions your teeth and prevents them from touching, protecting them from the biting force.
