Dental Bridges & Crowns in Burnaby

What is a dental crown?

A dental crown is a type of restoration that completely encases and covers a tooth to help restore it to its original healthy shape and size.

Crowns are often needed when an extremely large cavity or advanced tooth decay will affect the continuing health of a tooth.

A crown is considered as an option when the original shape and structure of the tooth cannot be fixed with other types of restorations such as fillings.

Reasons why an individual might require a crown:

• Broken or fractured teeth
• Cosmetic optimization
• Tooth decay
• Broken or fractured fillings
• Large cavities/fillings
• Root canal
