What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. At Aurora Borealis Dentistry, we specialize in creating dental crowns that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you both function and aesthetics.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are an effective solution for various dental issues such as cracked teeth, large fillings, or root canal-treated teeth. By covering the damaged tooth, dental crowns help prevent further decay and protect against future damage. They also restore bite function and improve your overall smile.

Natural-Looking Dental Crowns

One of the key advantages of our dental crowns at Aurora Borealis Dentistry is how natural they look. We use high-quality materials such as porcelain, zirconia, and ceramic to ensure that your dental crowns match the color and contour of your surrounding teeth. Our expert dental team takes the time to craft dental crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from real teeth.

The Crown Placement Process

Step 1: Consultation

During your initial visit, we’ll assess the condition of your tooth to determine if a dental crown is the right solution. We’ll take detailed digital impressions for precision.

Step 2: Custom Design

Our lab will fabricate your dental crown to ensure a perfect fit. The shade and shape will be matched to your natural smile.

Step 3: Fitting the Crown

Once your dental crown is ready, we’ll bond it securely to your tooth using strong, dental-grade cement. The result is a beautiful, functional restoration that feels just like a natural tooth.

Same-Day Dental Crowns

For many patients, waiting days for a permanent crown can be inconvenient. That’s why Aurora Borealis Dentistry offers same-day dental crowns using advanced CEREC technology. You can walk in with a damaged tooth and leave the same day with a fully restored smile, thanks to our on-site design and milling capabilities.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

• Strength and Durability: Our dental crowns are built to last, withstanding daily biting and chewing forces.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency.
• Preservation: Protects weakened teeth from further deterioration.
• Comfort: Designed with your bite and comfort in mind.

Direct Billing for Dental Crowns

Worried about insurance? We’ve made getting dental crowns even easier with direct billing to most major insurance providers. There’s no need to deal with complex paperwork—we handle it all, so you can focus on your smile.

Who Needs Dental Crowns?

• Patients with broken or cracked teeth
• Teeth weakened by large fillings
• Following root canal treatment
• Cosmetic enhancement for misshapen or discolored teeth
• Support for dental bridges or implants

If any of these apply to you, dental crowns may be the ideal solution.

Caring for Your Dental Crowns

Maintaining your dental crowns is simple. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine checkups at Aurora Borealis Dentistry will help extend their lifespan. While dental crowns are highly durable, avoiding extremely hard foods and teeth grinding can also prolong their integrity.
