Dental Crowns Near You
What's a Dental Crown?
A crown is a cap that covers a tooth. Dentists place it on if a tooth is cracked, broken, or worn out. The crown covers the whole tooth above the gum line. It supports the tooth and assists in protecting it. Crowns also assist with chewing and talking.
- Protects your tooth: A cap for your tooth prevents further damage from occurring.
- Makes your tooth strong: If your tooth is weak, the crown makes it hard again so you can chew your favourite foods.
- Makes your smile look good: Crowns can make your tooth look like new by restoring its shape and colour.
Why Would I Need a Crown?
There are many reasons why your dentist may tell you that you need a crown:
- Big Cavity: If a cavity is too large to fill, a crown covers the entire tooth.
- Cracked Tooth: If your tooth is cracked, a crown keeps it together.
- After a Root Canal: Occasionally, after a root canal, a crown is necessary to cover the tooth.
- Worn-Down Tooth: If you grind your teeth, they wear down. A crown can rebuild them.
What Happens When I Get a Crown?
Getting dental crowns near you usually takes two visits to our clinic. Here’s what to expect:
First Visit
- Checking Your Tooth: Our dentist will look at your tooth and take X-rays to see what’s going on.
- Making Room: They will gently shape your tooth so the crown can fit nicely.
- Taking a Mold: Our dentist will take a mould (impression) of your tooth. It’s like making a copy of your tooth so the crown fits just right.
- Temporary Crown: You’ll get a temporary crown to wear while your real crown is being made.
Second Visit
- Taking off the Temporary Crown: Our dentist in Courtenay will remove the temporary crown.
Putting on the Real Crown: They will check if the real crown fits perfectly and then glue it on with special cement.
