At Delta Dentist, located at 8251-120th St, Delta BC V4C 6R1, we are dedicated to helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile. Among our wide range of services, dental crowns play a vital role in restoring teeth that are damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect. With expert care from Dr. Sara Rouhani, our custom crowns provide lasting strength, function, and natural beauty to your smile.
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown, commonly called a “cap,” is a custom-made restoration that covers a tooth entirely. Crowns are designed to:
Restore the shape, size, and function of a damaged tooth
Strengthen teeth weakened by decay or injury
Improve the appearance of discolored or misshaped teeth
Support dental bridges or protect teeth after root canals
Crowns can be made from several materials, including:
Porcelain or ceramic (natural look and feel)
Metal alloys (extremely durable)
Porcelain fused to metal (best of both worlds)
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), crowns are highly effective for preserving and restoring the function of compromised teeth.
When Are Dental Crowns Needed?
We may recommend a dental crown if you:
Have a large cavity that can’t be filled
Need to restore a cracked, broken, or worn-down tooth
Recently had a root canal treatment (learn more)
Require a support anchor for a dental bridge (dental bridges service)
Want to enhance your smile with cosmetic improvements (cosmetic dentistry)
The Dental Crown Procedure: Step-by-Step
At Delta Dentist, our crown placement process is comfortable, precise, and efficient. Here is what you can expect:
1. Examination and Preparation
Dr. Rouhani will perform a full examination and take X-rays to assess the tooth’s health. If a crown is recommended, she will:
Numb the area for your comfort
Reshape the tooth to create space for the crown
Take digital impressions to ensure a perfect fit
Place a temporary crown to protect the tooth while your permanent crown is fabricated
2. Crown Placement
At your second appointment:
The temporary crown is removed
The permanent crown is fitted and adjusted
Once confirmed, the crown is cemented into place
Research from the Mayo Clinic supports that high-quality crowns, when cared for, can last 10 to 15 years or longer.
