Quality dental crowns to enhance your smile
Dental crowns are one our most versatile treatments since they have many uses in both general and cosmetic dentistry. Also known as a ‘cap’, a dental crown is a hollow tooth-shaped sleeve that covers the entirety of an existing tooth from its tip to the gumline restoring its structural integrity and enhancing its aesthetic.
Other situations where dental crowns are utilized include:
- To cover a dental implant post to complete the procedure
- As part of a dental bridge or partial denture
- To anchor a dental bridge to fill a gap left by missing teeth
- To conceal a discolored or irregular shaped tooth
- To reinforce a badly decayed tooth that is in danger of falling apart because of the decay
- To improve a patient’s confidence when their front teeth appear unhealthy, worn, or damaged
- To restore a tooth following root canal treatment

Our approach to dental crowns
- Your mold is professionally made at our own on-site dental lab using intraoral digital scanners for precision and to provide an accurate fit.
- We mill our own crowns which means waiting times are shorter for patients than when crowns are outsourced to an outside lab. It also helps keep costs down. For those in a rush, we can fabricate crowns in two days if needed, provided we know in advance.
- We’ll place a temporary crown while you wait for the final restoration.
- When it’s ready we’ll fit and place the crown, ensuring the perfect fit and shade

Dental crowns should last between 10 and 15 years on average. However, lifestyle and oral hygiene habits can shorten their lifespan. With proper maintenance, crowns can last up to 30 years.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort and some sensitivity after having a dental crown installed. In some cases if there is deep decay or the nerve is inflamed a dental crown may require post-operative anti inflammatory medication.
We typically recommend avoiding extremely hot or cold items for a few days, as well as chewy, crunchy or tough foods.
Modern-day dental crowns are are fabricated from various materials including zirconia, porcelain and ceramic. Other options include porcelain fused with metal or gold. Zirconia is particularly durable and blends seamlessly into the smile.
