Dental crowns are a popular dental treatment option for a variety of reasons. From improving the appearance of your smile to restoring the functionality of damaged teeth, they offer a host of benefits. At Davinci Smiles, we offer dental crowns in Edmonton to help you achieve and maintain the perfect smile.
A 360-Degree Cover for Your Teeth
Dental crowns, or caps, are 360-degree covers for damaged or misshapen teeth. They are made of various materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys and are custom-fitted to each patient’s tooth to provide a natural-looking and durable solution. Dental crowns can be used to restore the function of a tooth that has undergone a root canal or has extensive decay, to protect a weakened tooth, or to improve the appearance of a tooth that is misshapen or discolored.
Reasons You May Need Crowns:
- Your tooth has undergone a root canal procedure and needs to be protected
- Your tooth has a large cavity that cannot be filled with a traditional filling
- Your tooth is cracked, broken, or weakened and needs additional support
- Your tooth is severely discolored or misshapen, which affects the appearance of your smile
- Your tooth is part of a dental bridge and requires a crown to anchor the bridge in place
- A single dental implant is being placed, and a crown is needed to replace the missing tooth

Types of Dental Crowns:
Porcelain/Ceramic Crowns:
These crowns are most commonly used for front teeth as they can be color-matched to your natural teeth, providing a natural-looking appearance. They are also a good option for those with metal allergies.
Metal Crowns:
These crowns are made of metal alloys, such as gold, platinum, or palladium. They are durable and long lasting, making them a good option for back teeth. However, they are not as aesthetically pleasing and may not be suitable for those with metal allergies.
Porcelain-fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns:
These crowns combine the durability of metal with the natural-looking appearance of porcelain. They are a good option for both front and back teeth, but the metal portion of the crown may become visible at the gum line over time.
