Dental Crowns in Vancouver, BC
A dental crown is a unique structure that many dentists recommend to patients. Why? Because of its versatility. It can strengthen, protect, enhance, and repair a damaged tooth; all it takes is one or two appointments with a dentist near you.
At our local dental practice, we are happy to provide this treatment to patients in need. During a preliminary consultation, one of our skilled dentists will examine your smile and talk to you about your requirements to determine whether a dental crown is the best option.

What is a Dental Crown?
A crown or cap is used to remedy multiple dental issues, including:
• Fragmented teeth
• Worn or weak teeth
• Discolored teeth
• Crooked teeth
Dentists also incorporate dental crowns into multiple treatments to help restore and preserve teeth. Examples include:
• Teeth that are deeply decayed but a dental filling isn’t adequate
• Covering an implant
• Protecting a tooth that’s had a root canal
• Holding a dental bridge in position
What the Treatment Entails
Every crown is fabricated according to the dimensions of the patient’s tooth and their aesthetic preferences. This takes about 1-2 weeks to do; we’ll have you return to our practice to have it placed. We will use dental cement to keep it in place. Our dentist will polish it to a nice shine before checking everything over.
Keep in mind that getting a dental crown does not replace daily brushing and flossing. This will stop other bacteria and debris from damaging other teeth or potentially getting underneath the crown. Avoid chewing on hard objects like candies and ice since this could cause the crown to break.
During your routine visits, one of our dentists in Vancouver, BC, will check to ensure it’s still in good condition. Crowns are not permanent restorations; with proper care, they can last between 7-10 years, maybe more.
