Dental Crowns

Restore the Strength, Function, and Appearance of Your Teeth

A damaged, cracked, or weakened tooth doesn’t always need to be removed. A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its strength, shape, size, and appearance while protecting it from further damage. Dental crowns are commonly recommended for teeth that have large fillings, significant decay, fractures, or have undergone root canal treatment.

At BCC Dental, we provide high-quality, custom dental crowns that are designed to blend naturally with your smile while helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

When Is a Dental Crown Recommended?

A dental crown may be the right solution if your tooth has been weakened or cannot be restored with a filling alone. Your dentist may recommend a crown to:
Every smile is different, so your dentist will recommend the most appropriate treatment after a comprehensive examination.

The Dental Crown Procedure

Receiving a dental crown is a straightforward process that is typically completed over two appointments.
During your first visit, your dentist will examine the affected tooth, remove any decay or damaged tooth structure, and carefully reshape the tooth to prepare it for the crown. Digital impressions or moulds are then taken to create a custom restoration that fits comfortably and matches your natural teeth. A temporary crown may be placed to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is being fabricated.
At your second appointment, the custom crown is checked for fit, colour, and bite before being securely bonded into place. Once completed, your restored tooth will look natural and function like your surrounding teeth.

Benefits of Dental Crowns
