Dental Crowns in Burnaby

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a commonly used cosmetic and restorative option that can help resolve a range of dental issues, from discolouration of the teeth to weakened teeth. To create a crown, a tooth-shaped cap is created and then placed in the mouth over the weakened or damaged tooth. One of the main reasons patients choose dental crowns is because they offer a strong, affordable, beautiful, and long-lasting solution.

Who Needs Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns can be used in many instances in dentistry, including the following:

• Teeth that have been weakened by procedures such as root canal therapy.
• Teeth that have had severe decay and cannot be repaired with a filling.
• Teeth that are required to support a dental bridge or denture.
• Teeth that are discoloured, misshapen, or otherwise aesthetically unpleasing.

How Dental Crowns Are Attached

A dental crown is custom-created for your specific tooth. The process begins with a consultation, in which our dental team will help you understand what to expect, the cost of a dental crown, and any other restorative options you may have. Once you decide to proceed, you’ll be fitted for your custom crown, ensuring it will blend naturally into the other teeth. Once the crown has been created, your dentist will secure it and check the fit. You may notice a slight change to your bite for a few days, but after that, the crown should feel natural.
