SW Edmonton Dental Crowns

If you are looking for a way to restore the function and overall aesthetics of your damaged, discoloured or extensively repaired teeth, dental crowns may be right for you! Ellwood Dental is pleased to offer this restorative dental option so you can achieve the smile you desire!

A dental crown, or “cap,” is a dental restoration that covers and protects teeth, improving the appearance and overall health and longevity of your teeth. Whether from damage, decay, an accident, wear and tear, or stains, dental crowns can help restore your smile to what it once was. Additionally, crowns can help settle down a cracked tooth and extend the life of healthy teeth that have had root canal treatment or large restorations. Even extreme damage that may seem beyond repair can be corrected with a dental crown!

Crowns are made using a variety of materials, including white materials (such as porcelain or zirconia), gold or a porcelain-gold combination.  Ellwood Dental will work closely with you to choose the appropriate crown for your situation and help you restore your beautiful smile.

The main difference between a dental crown and other dental restorations, such as fillings, inlays, or onlays, is that a crown covers the entire tooth that is visible above the gum line and becomes the new outer surface of your once damaged tooth. Dental crowns are ideal for teeth with decay, damage, large existing restorations, or teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. They cover, protect, and restore the shape of your teeth when fillings do not solve the problem.
