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, our experienced cosmetic dentist offers dental crowns in Edmonton to help you achieve and maintain the perfect smile.

What Are Dental Crowns?

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.

What Are the Types of Dental Crowns?

Porcelain/Ceramic Dental Crowns:

These dental 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 Dental Crowns:

These dental 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) Dental Crowns:

These dental 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 dental crown may become visible at the gum line over time.

Your Complete Dental Crown Journey

At Davinci Smiles, we believe that personalized care is key to successful dental treatments. We understand that each patient’s dental needs are unique, so we provide customized dental crowns in Edmonton. Our process starts with a thorough dental examination to determine if a dental crown is the best solution for your dental issue. If a dental crown is required, the tooth that requires the crown will be reshaped to accommodate the size and shape of the crown.

Our dental professionals take accurate digital impressions of your teeth to ensure the crown fits perfectly over the reshaped tooth. To create the crown, we use state-of-the-art CEREC technology, which allows us to create your crown in a single visit, saving you time and reducing discomfort. Our specialists carefully handcraft each crown to our high standards, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. Finally, the crown is placed and permanently adhered to your tooth, restoring the look and function of your smile.

Crowns vs Veneers

Crowns encase the entire tooth, offering superior strength and full structural protection, not just a cosmetic surface fix. This makes them ideal for teeth with significant decay, cracks, large fillings, or after root canal treatment, fully restoring function for chewing and biting. Built to withstand heavy daily wear, crowns provide a durable, long-term solution when a tooth needs real reinforcement rather than a simple aesthetic touch-up.

Dental Crown FAQs

How long do dental crowns last?

Dental crowns’ lifespan varies depending on material, oral hygiene, and daily habits. Generally, they can last 5 to 15 years or more with proper care. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor the condition of the crown and ensure its longevity.

Can I eat normally with a dental crown?

Yes, you can eat normally with a dental crown. However, it’s advisable to avoid chewing hard objects or foods that could potentially damage the crown. Maintaining good oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental check-ups will help ensure the longevity of the crown.

Will my dental insurance cover the cost of a dental crown?

Dental insurance coverage for dental crowns varies depending on the type of insurance plan and the reason for needing the crown. Some plans cover a portion of the cost, while others may cover it fully. Please contact your dental team to better understand your options for dental crowns in Edmonton.

Are there alternatives to dental crowns?

Yes, alternatives to dental crowns include dental fillings, inlays, onlays, and veneers. The choice of alternative depends on factors such as the extent of damage to the tooth, aesthetic preferences, and budget. Our dentists can help determine the most suitable option for your specific case after a thorough consultation.

Can a dental crown fix a cracked tooth?

Yes, a dental crown is often the recommended treatment for a cracked tooth. When a tooth is cracked but still structurally salvageable, a crown covers and protects it from further damage while restoring its strength and function. By fully encasing the tooth, the crown helps prevent the crack from worsening and reduces the risk of infection or tooth loss. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate the extent of the crack to determine if a crown is the most appropriate solution.

Do you accept CDCP insurance?

Yes, DaVinci Smiles proudly accepts CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan) insurance. Our fees are thoughtfully aligned with the Alberta Dental Association fee guide, providing greater transparency and accessibility while maintaining the elevated standard of care you expect from our practice.
