A dental crown, sometimes called a dental cap, is a custom-made restoration that completely covers a damaged or weakened tooth. The crown restores the tooth’s strength, shape, size, and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative dental treatments because they allow patients to keep their natural teeth rather than extracting them.
At Polaris Dental, every crown is custom designed to blend naturally with your surrounding teeth for a beautiful, long-lasting smile.
Our dentists may recommend a dental crown if you have:
A crown restores both function and aesthetics, allowing you to chew comfortably while preserving your natural tooth whenever possible.
Every patient has different needs. During your consultation, your dentist will explain which material is most appropriate based on the location of the tooth, your bite, your cosmetic goals, and your budget.
All-ceramic crowns contain no metal and provide the most natural appearance.
Benefits include:
Popular ceramic materials include:
These modern materials combine outstanding strength with beautiful translucency that closely resembles natural enamel.
Zirconia crowns have become one of the most popular choices because they offer:
Patients who grind their teeth often benefit from zirconia because of its strength.
E.max crowns are known for their exceptional cosmetic appearance.
Advantages include:
PFM crowns combine a strong metal framework with porcelain covering the visible surfaces.
Advantages include:
Some patients may eventually notice a dark line near the gums as the gums naturally recede over time.
Metal crowns remain an excellent option for certain back teeth because they are:
Although they are not tooth-coloured, they remain an excellent restorative option in areas where appearance is less important.
Many patients ask whether ceramic crowns are better than traditional crowns.
The answer depends on your individual situation.
Ceramic crowns provide outstanding aesthetics because they closely mimic natural enamel. They eliminate the grey or dark line sometimes associated with metal-based crowns and are often the preferred choice for front teeth.
Modern ceramic materials such as zirconia and E.max are also incredibly strong, making them suitable for many back teeth as well.
During your consultation, your dentist will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of crown and recommend the best option for your smile.
After root canal treatment, the tooth often becomes more brittle because much of its internal structure has been removed.
A dental crown helps:
In most cases, placing a crown after a root canal significantly increases the lifespan of the treated tooth.
Dental implants replace the root of a missing tooth, but they still require a custom crown to restore the visible portion of the tooth.
Our custom implant crowns are designed to:
If implant placement is required, we work closely with trusted specialists before completing the final restoration at Polaris Dental.
At Polaris Dental, we use advanced iTero® digital scanning technology instead of traditional impression materials whenever possible.
Benefits include:
Digital technology helps us provide restorations that fit comfortably and require minimal adjustments.
You need two visits to do the dental crowns. During the first visit, after discussing the treatment options, the dentist will prepare your teeth according to some specifications. The procedure is painless and may need local anesthesia. After the procedure, a scan of the tooth is done using iTero scanner with precision, and then a temporary crown will be placed until the permanent crown is fabricated. The shade of the teeth will be noted and passed to the lab for color match. The second visit is typically after a week. The final crown will be fixed during this visit. Instructions will be given as well.
Insurance Coverage
Dental crowns are either fully or partially covered by most insurance. From Polaris Dental, we can bill the insurance directly.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap with an artificial tooth supported by crowns on the neighbouring teeth.
Dental bridges are one of the most predictable and cost-effective methods of replacing missing teeth.
At Polaris Dental, a traditional 3-unit ceramic dental bridge costs $3,900.
Leaving a missing tooth untreated can result in:
Replacing missing teeth early helps prevent more complex and costly dental problems later.
Dental bridges provide numerous advantages:
Many patients find that their bridge feels like their own natural teeth after a short adjustment period.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace missing teeth. Ceramic bridges are highly esthetic and robust enough to replace missing teeth. When the empty spaces caused by missing teeth are left untreated like that, adjacent and opposing teeth shift to the space and make these vulnerable to caries and gum disease.
Most dental crowns require two appointments.
During your first appointment, we will:
Your custom crown is then fabricated by a professional dental laboratory.
Approximately one to two weeks later, you will return for:
Once completed, your new crown will restore both the strength and beauty of your smile.
With proper care, many crowns and bridges last around15 years or even longer.
Their longevity depends on:
To maximize the lifespan of your restoration:
Proper maintenance greatly improves the longevity of your restoration.
Most dental insurance plans provide partial or full coverage for crowns and bridges when they are medically necessary.
