What is a Crown?
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. It is used to strengthen and protect your tooth structure.
Most crowns are made of a hard, white substance to help them look natural.
If you have a root canal, your dentist will likely recommend a crown to strengthen your tooth after this procedure.
Dental Crowns in Calgary NW: The Procedure
With every restoration, we want a secure fit that feels like your natural teeth.
The crown procedure requires two appointments.
At your first appointment, your dentist in Calgary NW will prepare your tooth for its placement and will take an impression of your tooth and the gum area around it, from which the custom crown will be made.
As you wait for your permanent crown, a temporary crown will be placed to protect the area.
