Dental Crowns
SW Calgary

If you are looking for an effective way to restore the aesthetics and function of teeth that are damaged or discolored, dental crowns might be right for you. Shawnessy Smiles Dental is pleased to offer this dental restoration option to help you achieve the smile you have always wanted!

Dental Crowns, also known as “caps,” are a dental restoration used to restore damaged teeth to improve the function, appearance, and overall health of teeth that are affected by disease, damage, decay, stains, wear and tear, or have undergone root canals. They are also used to replace old restorations and for teeth with fillings that are larger than the natural tooth structure. Using a variety of materials, dental crowns can help to restore teeth to what they once were.

Shawnessy Smiles Dental Crowns are custom-made using a variety of materials, including ceramic porcelain, Zirconia-based porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, full-cast metal, and traditional gold dental crowns. The best type of crown for your situation is determined based on a variety of factors such as aesthetics, where the crown is placed in your mouth, your dental habits, oral conditions such as teeth grinding, and of course your personal preference. A complete diagnostic assessment will determine the best type of dental crown for your situation.

• You have a tooth that requires a filling that will exceed the natural tooth structure.
• Your teeth have extensive damage, tooth decay, and/or fracture lines.
• Your teeth are discolored and have compromised tooth aesthetics.
• Your teeth have undergone Root Canal Therapy. After root canal therapy, teeth become brittle and are more susceptible to fracture. Teeth that have undergone root canal therapy must be protected with a dental crown to prevent breakage down the road.

Your appointment at Shawnessy Smiles Dental for your dental crown will first involve shaping your tooth to fit your new crown. A detailed impression of the teeth is then sent to our dental laboratory, where your custom crown is created by our professional lab technician.
