Dental Crown

At Westmount Dental Clinic in Saskatoon, we are dedicated to helping you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile. When a tooth becomes damaged or weakened, a dental crown can provide the protection and restoration needed to preserve its function and appearance. Our team of skilled professionals is committed to delivering high-quality dental crown treatments that enhance your oral health and confidence.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It covers the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function. Crowns are made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal, ensuring a long-lasting and natural-looking result.

When Do You Need a Dental Crown?

1. Severely Decayed Teeth: When a tooth has extensive decay that cannot be repaired with a filling, a crown provides the necessary support and protection.

2. Broken or Cracked Teeth: Teeth that are fractured or weakened from injury can be restored with a crown to prevent further damage and maintain functionality.

3. After Root Canal Therapy: Following a root canal, a crown is often placed to strengthen the treated tooth and protect it from future issues.

4. Large Fillings: Teeth with large fillings that compromise their structure may benefit from a crown to enhance stability and function.

5. Cosmetic Enhancement: Crowns can also be used to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth, giving you a more uniform and attractive smile.

The Dental Crown Procedure at Westmount Dental Clinic

1. Consultation and Examination: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and determine if a dental crown is the best solution for your needs.

2. Tooth Preparation: The tooth receiving the crown is carefully prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to create space for the crown. This ensures a proper fit and natural appearance.

3. Impressions: Precise impressions of your tooth are taken to create a custom crown that fits seamlessly with your bite and matches the color of your natural teeth.

4. Temporary Crown: While your permanent crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.

5. Permanent Crown Placement: Once your custom crown is ready, it is securely bonded to your tooth. Our dentist will ensure the crown fits comfortably and looks natural, providing you with a restored and beautiful smile.
