Tooth crowns in Nanaimo.
A crown is often required to protect and restore a tooth that is seriously damaged, broken or weakened by a large filling. A previously placed filling can threaten the strength of a tooth by acting as a wedge which can cause the tooth to break or fracture. Our Nanaimo dentists provide tooth crowns that strengthen and protect your smile.
What is a tooth crown?
A tooth crown is a full-coverage restoration that acts as a “cap” that fully encircles a tooth or dental implants to restore the shape, appearance, and strength of a tooth. A dental crown can be constructed of cast metal materials, such as gold or high-grade porcelain, which is the preferred choice for cosmetic treatments. It is then sealed or cemented into place using dental cement, giving you a beautiful, new tooth.
Dental crowns are durable, blend with natural teeth, help prevent further damage and decay, and are an excellent long-term treatment option to restore traumatized and fragile teeth. If you’re ready to restore your smile with a dental crown, contact our team at Northfield Dental Clinic or Long Lake Dental Clinic.
