Crowns
A crown is a cap that goes over your tooth to help protect it. You might choose this treatment option for a variety of reasons, like having a compromised tooth with a crack or a lot of fillings.
Crowns are usually fabricated in a lab and can be made of various materials. At Grand Promenade Dental Centre, we offer metal (gold and silver), ceramic, and porcelain options. All our crowns are much stronger than filling material, making them one of the best ways to protect a vulnerable tooth from further damage.
Bridges
If you have a space between two teeth that you’d like to restore, our skilled dentists may suggest crowning both teeth and joining them together to make a bridge. We’ll typically recommend this approach if you’re not suitable for implants, or if the teeth on either side are heavily restored.
What to Expect
First, we’ll have you come in for an initial consult to assess your smile and talk to you about options. If we’ll be working on any front teeth, it’s important to take our time and match the colour carefully.
After your consult, we’ll schedule an appointment to prepare the tooth before sending you home with a temporary crown or bridge. For crowns or veneers on front teeth, we always do a mock-up first, making you an active participant in designing your smile.
