Dental Crowns Saint-Lazare
Dental crowns are a common solution for teeth that are injured, discolored, or cracked. They fit over the affected tooth, protecting it from further damage, and can also restore the space left by missing teeth.
The Role of Dental Crowns in Restoring Teeth
Also known as caps, dental crowns are used to strengthen and restore teeth that have been broken or are at high risk of breaking. They are typically made from porcelain or durable alloys and are recommended when a significant portion of the tooth is missing.
When Might a Dental Crown Be Recommended?
- Broken or fractured fillings
- Extensive tooth decay
- Damage from trauma or wear
- Tooth sensitivity
- Cosmetic improvements, such as discoloration
- Protection after root canal therapy
- Fractured or chipped teeth
The Dental Crown Procedure
The process begins with a consultation with one of our dentists. During your first visit, your tooth is prepared, and an impression is taken. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent crown is fabricated at a dental laboratory. On your next visit, the crown is fitted, adjusted, and cemented in place.
Once completed, the crown will blend naturally with your teeth, restore strength, and allow for comfortable oral function.
