Dental Crown

Dental Crown

When Prescribed

A crown may be prescribed by your Dentist to:

Restore and protect a tooth that is worn, decayed, cracked, or broken
Protect and support a tooth after a very large filling or root canal treatment
Cover a dental implant
Hold a dental bridge or other prosthetic device in place
Improve your smile by covering a misshapen or severely discoloured tooth

Crown Types

Zirconium Crown

Ceramic tooth implants, specifically known as zirconium or zirconia dental implants, are one of the newer forms of dental implants. Tooth-colored, compatible with our tissues, and made of the hardest stuff next to diamonds

Metal Crown

Metal offers strength and endurance. A metal crown may be recommended for back teeth where the forces of biting and chewing are the greatest. A metal crown rarely chips or breaks. In addition, it requires minimal removal of tooth structure.

Porcelain Crown

Thanks to their durability and natural appearance, porcelain tooth crowns are incredibly versatile as a restorative dentistry solution. Whether teeth are weak or discoloured, broken or damaged, crowns are customized to fit perfectly over a tooth in order to correct its size, shape, and strength.

Gold Crown

As the name suggests, these dental crowns are made fully out of metal. Perhaps the most common option is the classic gold crown; however, silver colored metals are available. They’re chosen for their superior strength, since they’re 100% metal. Gold alloy crowns also offer the best longevity: The chance of any repair or replacement is almost zero.
