The Power of Dental Crowns
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile. Dental crowns are one of the most effective solutions for restoring teeth that are cracked, worn, weakened, or cosmetically compromised. Whether you’re dealing with a single damaged tooth or need multiple restorations, our custom dental crowns are designed to restore both function and appearance.
What Makes Dental Crowns the Right Choice?
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover and protect compromised teeth. Unlike fillings that repair damage within the tooth, dental crowns envelop the entire tooth surface, giving it added strength and a natural look. Our custom approach ensures every dental crown is built for long-lasting durability and seamless integration with your natural smile.
Custom Design for a Seamless Fit
Each patient’s smile is unique, which is why we craft dental crowns tailored to your specific needs. From tooth shade to bite alignment, our custom dental crowns are carefully shaped and colored for a lifelike result. Our attention to detail means your dental crowns won’t just look good—they’ll feel natural too.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
Dental crowns are recommended in several situations, including:
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Large fillings that weaken the tooth
- Following a root canal treatment
- Discolored or misshaped teeth
- As support for dental bridges
If you’re experiencing any of the above, dental crowns can restore your tooth’s strength and appearance effectively.
The Dental Crown Procedure
Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough examination to determine if dental crowns are the best solution. X-rays or digital scans help us understand your oral health and prepare for the crown placement.
Tooth Preparation
The affected tooth is gently reshaped to make room for the dental crown. An impression is taken to ensure a perfect fit.
Temporary Crown Placement
While your permanent dental crown is being fabricated, a temporary crown will protect your tooth.
Final Crown Placement
Once ready, your permanent dental crown is cemented into place, restoring your smile to full strength and beauty.
Materials Used in Dental Crowns
We use only high-quality materials to make your dental crowns:
- Porcelain: Ideal for front teeth due to its natural appearance
- Zirconia: Strong and durable, perfect for molars
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): Offers a blend of strength and aesthetics
Each material is chosen based on the location of the tooth and your personal preferences.
