If you have a tooth that’s too damaged or weak for a filling, it may require a tooth crown in Edmonton. Crowns are an essential treatment to restore the strength, appearance, and function of a tooth, helping you preserve the tooth and avoid loss.
Visit our general dentist at Harvest Pointe Dental for custom crown solutions.
When to Get a Tooth Crown
Dental crowns are used when a tooth is severely-damaged or needs restoration after an invasive treatment like a root canal. The crown works like a cap, fitting over the tooth to renew the way it looks and works.
We may recommend a permanent crown in Edmonton if you have:
- A large cavity that’s too big for a filling
- Underwent a root canal treatment and needs to seal the tooth
- Badly cracked and/or chipped a tooth
- A tooth that is very weak from damage or previous restoration
- Are replacing a missing tooth with a bridge or implant (the crown goes on top as a replacement tooth)
Benefits of Porcelain Crowns in Edmonton
There are several crown material options available, but most modern options are metal-free crowns in Edmonton. Many patients prefer porcelain for the following benefits:
- It has a colour and translucence that is similar to natural teeth
- Durability to withstand chewing forces
- Stain-resistant, remaining bright and white over time
- Easy to care for, just brush and floss as normal
Temporary Crowns
When assessing your need for a crown, we will determine if a same-day crown in Edmonton is possible or if you will need a temporary crown. A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth while we wait for your permanent restoration to arrive. They are strong enough to eat with, but they are not secured the same way as a permanent crown, so it’s important to exercise caution when wearing one.
