Dental Crowns in Vancouver
A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over the natural tooth. Dental crowns are commonly used to cover damaged or decayed teeth, restoring their shape, size, and strength, as well as improving their overall appearance.
What Are Dental Crowns Made From?
Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin, and porcelain. Metal crowns are strong and durable and last for many years. However, many patients prefer the look of porcelain or resin crowns as they blend in better with their natural teeth.
How Long Does it Take to Fit a Crown?
Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and send it to the dental lab to create the crown. It may take a few weeks before your crown is ready, so a temporary crown will be placed. During this time, it’s important to avoid chewy and hard foods that may damage the temporary crown.
