Strengthen and Protect Your Teeth with Dental Crowns
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we believe in combining aesthetics with durability. That’s why our dental crowns are crafted to offer long-lasting protection for damaged or weakened teeth. Whether your tooth has suffered from decay, trauma, or wear, our dental crowns restore its function and keep it protected for years to come.
Why Choose Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are full-coverage restorations that shield your natural tooth from further damage. They serve as a strong and durable solution for restoring structure, supporting weakened teeth, and maintaining overall oral health.
Benefits of Dental Crowns:
- Reinforce cracked or broken teeth
- Protect teeth after root canal therapy
- Cover and support teeth with large fillings
- Improve appearance and alignment
- Prevent future dental complications
With the right care, dental crowns can offer protection for over a decade, making them a smart long-term investment in your oral health.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
You may need dental crowns if you experience:
- Severe tooth decay that cannot be treated with a filling
- A fractured or chipped tooth
- A tooth that has had a root canal
- Worn-down teeth due to grinding
- Cosmetic concerns that impact your confidence
At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we assess your unique needs and recommend dental crowns when they provide the best balance of strength, function, and appearance.
The Durability of Modern Dental Crowns
Advanced Materials for Long-Term Use
Our dental crowns are made from high-quality materials like porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic, selected for their strength and ability to withstand biting and chewing forces. These materials are also stain-resistant and maintain their look over time.
Designed for Daily Function
Whether you’re biting into an apple or grinding through a tough meal, our dental crowns are built to handle it. We ensure your crown fits your bite perfectly and doesn’t disrupt your normal function.
Our Dental Crown Procedure
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Our process starts with a comprehensive exam. We discuss your concerns and decide if dental crowns are the best solution for your needs.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
To accommodate the dental crown, we shape the affected tooth and take digital impressions for a custom fit. A temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is being made.
Step 3: Crown Placement
Once ready, your permanent dental crown is carefully positioned and bonded. We ensure it looks great and functions naturally.
Caring for Your Dental Crowns
To ensure your dental crowns last, follow these simple care tips:
- Brush and floss daily to prevent decay at the crown’s edge
- Avoid chewing on hard objects (like ice or pens)
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth
- Visit Aurora Borealis Dentistry for regular checkups
These habits help preserve the integrity of your dental crowns and extend their lifespan.
