What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a cap-like structure on your teeth to provide sufficient strength and longevity. Dental crowns can be made of metal, ceramics, porcelain, or resin. Crowns help improve the functionality and visual appeal of your teeth. They are extremely helpful for patients whose teeth have been damaged due to tooth decay. A crown can restore a dental implant, a worn-down tooth, or a tooth with a large filling. Dental crowns can last several years, provided you take adequate measures for their maintenance.

We will keep you informed at every step of the procedure and guide you about how to take effective care of the crowns.
Type of Crowns
Nowadays, a large variety of crowns is available based on various factors such as constituent material, estimated cost, overall care and precautions needed, the convenience of use and so on. You can explore our curated list of different types of dental crowns:
Three-quarter Crown - It is used for cusp-fractures, i.e. when the pointed part of the tooth is fractured. This part is meant to ease chewing of food.
Full Crown - This crown is applied on decayed or cracked teeth or when a root canal is treated.
Metal - Metal crowns are durable and can withstand biting and chewing pressure. They are often made of gold,
Porcelain-fused Metal - These crowns are a hybrid of porcelain and metal. Porcelain matches existing teeth, while metal is needed for strength. These crowns colour-matched to your existing teeth and have a natural appearance.
All-ceramic or All-porcelain - This type of crown allows for the best colour-matching similar to normal teeth.
It is always better to acquire substantial information about all the crown options available, so you may make an informed choice. Reach out to our dental consultants in SW Calgary, so they may help you select durable, affordable, and effective dental crowns for your teeth.
How Long Does it Take to Get a Dental Crown?
A traditional dental crown treatment is completed in two appointments. In the middle of these two appointments, you will receive a temporary crown for 1-2 weeks.
​
However, not everyone can devote such a long time to the procedure. If there is an emergency or you have time constraints, you can opt for a CEREC Crown System. It is a same-day dental crown procedure that you may opt for a quick outcome. Bite Dental Works is proud to perform procedures on our patients using this technology. CEREC, one appointment crowns, create a porcelain crown in a single visit to rectify chipped, cracked, and damaged teeth.

A digital image of the tooth is captured using a special camera and brought to a screen next to the dental chair.

This near-instant production is possible by Primescan’s photorealistic and highly accurate data. Its dynamic depth scan technology enables perfect sharpness and outstanding precision.
