Dental crowns
A dental crown covers and protects a weakened or damaged tooth, helping restore strength, stability, and everyday comfort. Crowns are often recommended when a filling isn’t enough to support the tooth or when cracks and wear have made chewing uncomfortable. We guide you through each step so you know what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
Why a crown might be needed
Crowns help prevent further damage by reinforcing the tooth structure. They’re often the final step after a large filling, fracture, or root canal — giving the tooth a stable foundation so it can last longer. A well-fitted crown can also reduce sensitivity and make chewing easier.
What happens during crown treatment
We begin by reviewing images, discussing symptoms, and outlining why a crown is recommended. The tooth is shaped gently, and an impression is taken so your crown fits precisely. A temporary crown protects the area while the final version is created. At your return visit, we place and adjust the crown so it feels smooth and comfortable.
If you’re using the Canadian Dental Care Plan, we’ll review your coverage and clearly explain any costs before treatment begins.
We offer direct billing, clear estimates, and support with insurance. If other restorative options are appropriate, we’ll discuss them with you at your pace.
