Dental Crowns
SE Calgary

Dental crowns, or “caps” as they are often called, are a dental restoration option that covers or fully “caps” damaged teeth to improve the appearance and overall health of your teeth. Whether from disease, damage, decay, an accident, wear and tear or stains, dental crowns can help restore your smile to what it once was. Even extreme damage that seems beyond repair can be corrected with a dental crown! Crowns are made using a variety of materials, including gold alloy, porcelain, or a mixture of these materials. Forest Lane Dental’s professional team will work closely with you to choose the appropriate type of crown for your situation, and help you restore your beautiful smile.

The main difference between a dental crown and other dental restoration procedures such as a filling, or inlays and onlays, is that a crown covers the entire tooth that is visible above the gum line and becomes the new outer surface of your previously damaged tooth. Dental crowns are ideal for teeth with damage, decay, large existing restorations, or teeth that have been treated with root canal therapy. When a filling cannot solve the problem, dental crowns help to cover, protect, and restore the shape of your teeth.
