Dental Crowns

When you have damaged, decayed or worn-down teeth, your dentist may recommend a dental crown to replace the missing part of the tooth. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering that is fixed to the damaged tooth and restores the look and function of the tooth.

What Is a Dental Crown Made From?

Dental crowns can be fabricated from resin, porcelain and metal. While metal crowns are very strong, many patients prefer the natural look of porcelain crowns, which are colour-matched to the natural teeth.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?

With proper care, your dental crown can last over 30 years. It is essential you brush your crown like you brush your natural teeth and floss regularly between your teeth and gums. It is also essential that you visit your dentist regularly so they can assess the health of your teeth and check the condition of your crown.
